For what I understand the brackets was based on the standings on the preliminary rounds.

The losing team between US and Canada gets to keep Justin Bieber. :)

Ha!  They will fight to the death!

It was on the news paper this morning... not sure I want to bet, Justin seems to like staying in the USA (maybe a little too much).

IF the US men beat the Canadian men, can we all agree that Russia then gets Bieber?  Canada women won their game, so it would be split.

This is on TV live, so there's no spoiler restriction here, right?

Streaming it on my phone via the NBC Live Extra app.  Its easier to pretend that I'm doing work when I can at least have work on my computer screen.

1-0 Canada, 3 minutes into the second period.

Canada having the better of it so far. Quick has had to be very good in goal.

Edit: There's 8:42 left in the second period and there has been 3 stoppages in play. End-to-end hockey action.

Edit: I hate Sidney Crosby as much as a casual hockey fan can.

I have to say that the US has a pretty damn good team this year. But Canada seems to be in control for the most part. :-)

Anyone else having difficulty breathing between whistles? What a game, so far!

That second period took all of about 25 minutes to play.

    • He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.
    • Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area. 
    • Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV. 
    • That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂 
    • Day 316 - 2025-08-13 Mental rehearsals today for about 15 minutes as I'm kinda screwed up in some way. 😞
