They usually let a lot more physicality in a Canada US game as opposed to the average women s game

I like how that Canadian Tire commercial was clearly filmed with the assumption that NHLers would go to the Olympics, but then they didn't so it's just McDavid and Toews looking slightly awkward and out of place as usual.

Was that the one that they won anyway? One of the most lopsided officiated games ever if I recall.

The olympic size rink is really screwing with me. Does a larger rink generate more offense or defense?

Intermissions are only 15 minutes, and no tv time outs, so the game goes quicker than the NHL.

Generally more defensive given how teams usually play on Olympic sized ice. There's more space for attackers to set up and rush, but that means that it's easier for defenders to the outside which in turn causes them to slow the game down. There's a lot less dumping it in on larger ice though. It's much more of a possession based game than on NHL ice.

Also for some stupid reason elimination games can be decided by shootouts in the Olympics.

3 soft rear end penalties in this game rewarding American players for being weak on their skates and on the puck
