Canada wanted to play really physical and the refs wouldn't allow it. I think that's what screwed them. Obviously they had a huge size advantage and probably didn't have time to rework their game plan once they found out it wasn't working for them today.

I actually think this is better for the Canadians. Wakes them up a bit and gets 'em a bit mad.

Yeah I agree, Canada always goes into these things with a massive superiority complex, hopefully this serves as a reminder that anything can happen, and makes them work harder to avoid being embarrassed.

I'm pretty surprised the Swiss pulled off another upset. You'd think after they beat the Czechs teams wouldn't sleep on them anymore. Not really surprised the U.S. lost. After all, the Slovaks beat Russia and tha team is more talented than the U.S. this year. Overall, the men's tournament is proving to be much more entertaining than the women's (even with the shocking U.S. loss in the semis). There have been some good games and some good hockey.

I'm actually kind of glad they lost. The 1st couple of games they really didn't look all that good. They seem to feel like all they need to do is show up and they will win. They haven't put in the work ethic so far and are trying to be far too fancy. Hopefully this will be a wake up call for them that they need to do more than just show up for the game and that they need to work harder to get the gold.

Keep in mind that this is just the round robin and since Canada are the defending champions, this loss means nothing to them.

I expect to see a different and more determined Canadian team against Finland tomorrow.

      One of reasons why they have so much infrastructure available is that severely overestimated how many people would be using Grok.

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
