Korea defeats Japan. That means Canada vs USA in the Men's Curling semifinal.

The game goes Thursday morning at 4:05am MT.

Finland takes bronze in women's hockey. Probably the team that gets least support from their country among the medal candidates these days. A team of mostly amateurs. Not a lot of people give a crap, but I have huge respect for those women. Truly competing for love for the sport and getting rewarded.

Had to miss both curling matches tonight because of prior commitments (which GMG). Disappointing end for Homan, but Koe killed it! Hope he can pay the Americans back!

That Women's Canada/Japan Team Pursuit Semi-Final was like David vs Goliath if David was also blind.

If it wasn't already obvious, Canada is David

New Zealand just came really close to upsetting the Koreans in the speed skating and claiming their second ever Winter Olympic medal. They still have a chance to grab a bronze.

Bit of a slow start in the Canada/Finland QF game. Canada takes a high sticking penalty and heading to the kill.

Not necessarily.

I’ve been needing a new couch for years.

Are we going to see another Swedish hockey choke? 2-0 Germany after 1.

The ice in Scriven’s crease is a joke

Not so sure about that. Canada's best time was in the quarterfinals, and was only 0.25 seconds faster than what USA did in that race.

They had 2 completely different strategies. USA started off as fast as possible while Canada started off slow and picked it up near the end.

Had Canada stepped on the gas pedal half a lap sooner, they would've had it in the bag. The US completely died in the final lap and a half
