With the Olympic round-robin officially wrapped up, we dive into everything we’ve seen so far as the tournament heads into the knockout stage. We start by breaking down what the Olympics are getting right on the broadcast side; from the refreshing absence of digital board ads and gambling ads, to strong commentary crews and ideal puck drop times.

Then we shift to the on-ice action, highlighting Macklin Celebrini and Connor McDavid’s ridiculous performances for Team Canada, along with other standouts who’ve impressed through the round robin. We also take a look at Team USA’s play and some of the biggest storylines emerging from the tournament as the stakes ramp up.
