In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas, Elliotte Friedman, and Kevin Bieksa preview the 2026 men's Olympic hockey tournament. The fellas entertain with a few funny stories from their time in Milan pre-tournament and then delve into their analysis of Team Canada (19:44). Is there any advantage to the Canadians staying in a hotel rather than setting up shop in the village (21:30)? They talk about the Canadian line combinations (27:00). They debate over how the goaltending should be split in the prelims (32:50). They then shift their attention to the Americans, Swedes, Czechs, Finns, and Slovaks (36:40). The Final Thought focuses on their Canadian interactions while walking around Milan (55:00). 

Today we highlight Calgary rapper The Blue and his song Remember You. Check out his music here.
