Wow. Not the best hockey but still exciting...going to a shootout...

It's a different camera angle for each shot... including one on the crowd

Tough loss for our team...

Absolutely brutal job by CBC in this game especially the after stages. Even missed an attempt while camera was on the Canadian crowd! Cuthbert didn?t even know it is a 5 shooter not a 3 shooter shoot out! Quite the joke.

Favourite Olympic moment so far: Canadian curler Rachel Homan's husband double-fisting his third and fourth beers while watching his wife compete against Japan. It's 9am in Korea. Not all heroes wear capes. #PyeongChang2018

I would have rioted. They had the better skate, and I'm honestly shocked the French scored as high as they did during their short program. After the French scored so high, I was nervous too. According to my fitbit my resting heart rate was 134 bpm during their program. Their short dance saved them in the end. Skating judges are so crooked though. Someone posted a graphic if the judges scoring during the short program and the French AND US judges gave Virtue and Scott the lowest scores.

Man, Team Homan is struggling during these games. It's been such a grind for them just to get to 3-3, and with 3-4 they're staring down the barrel of not even making the podium.

Ouch is a good word.

You can tell Homan was in shell shock in her interview. "We missed Key shots" was all she could say to Colleen Jones. Team Homan is a better team than what they were this week and the result is a hard pill to take. Muirhead is no pushover, and she will be the one I'm rooting for down the rest of the stretch.

The world has gotten better. Korea is in first place right now. KOREA.
