The Bruins continue their NHL hibernation with the Winter Olympics well underway over in Italy, so there hasn’t been a ton to talk about around these parts.
That will likely change today, as the men’s hockey tournament gets underway. There will be two games on Feb. 11 and three games on Feb. 12, all part of the preliminary round.
Today’s schedule (all times Eastern):
Slovakia vs. Finland, 10:40 AM
Sweden vs. Italy, 3:40 PM
Tomorrow’s schedule:
Switzerland vs. France, 6:10 AM
Czechia vs. Canda, 10:40 AM
Germany vs. Denmark, 3:10 PM
USA vs. Latvia, 3:10 PM
Most of these games will be broadcast live on either USA or via Peacock, if you have access to those on one of the billion subscriptions you need nowadays.
In case you missed it, Sky had things well covered with a preview of what to expect hockey-wise at these Olympic Games, so hop over there if you need a primer.
On the men’s side, the preliminaries will continue through February 15, with the qualifying round starting on February 17.
On the women’s side, the American women are dominating, with their most recent win a 5-0 thumping of Canada
Finland and Canada will wrap up the preliminary round on Thursday, in a game that had to be rescheduled due to the norovirus outbreak earlier in month.
After that, the quarterfinals will happen on Friday and Saturday, with the United States already knowing they’ll face hosts Italy on Friday at 3:10 PM.
The other match-ups still need to shake out, depending on the seeding after the Canada-Finland game.
We’ll likely leave this thread open for Wednesday and Thursday so you can follow along with the initial men’s action, then probably put up a new open thread for the weekend’s action.
