"If you enjoy good hockey, Wednesday was one helluva day at the Olympics! The quarterfinals of the men's hockey tournament rolled off and gave us drama after drama after drama. The first game of the day - before many of us were out of bed - saw Slovakia smoke Germany 6-2. The other three games on the Olympics slate didn't match that four-goal differential combined."
"The second game of the day was Canada against Czechia. The heavily favored Canadians take a 2-1 deficit to the room after 20 minutes. The vibes went south even further when Sidney Crosby left the game with a lower-body injury in the second period. He hobbled off the ice and then went to the room. Canada's captain did not return to the game."
"The third game of the day saw Finland trailing 2-0 into the third period. Finland scored twice in the final seven minutes of regulation to tie the game, and ultimately won in overtime. Sebastian Aho and Miro Heiskanen scored Finland's two goals in regulation. Blackhawks forward Teuvo Teräväinen skated 11:58 in the game. Artturi Lehkonen was the hero in overtime for Finland."
The Olympic men's hockey quarterfinals produced multiple dramatic games and comebacks. Slovakia opened the day with a 6-2 victory over Germany. Canada rallied from deficits against Czechia, saw Sidney Crosby exit with a lower-body injury and not return, and won on Mitch Marner's overtime backhand after a Nick Suzuki tip tied the game. Finland trailed 2-0 late, scored twice in the final seven minutes to force overtime, and prevailed when Artturi Lehkonen scored the winner. Sebastian Aho and Miro Heiskanen supplied Finland's regulation goals, and Teuvo Teräväinen logged 11:58 of ice time.
