United States hockey coach Mike Sullivan sparked an uproar with his comment regarding the Olympics scheduling.
head coach Mike Sullivan said of the win. “That was certainly an important win for us and we’ll take tomorrow off to recover and get ready for our quarterfinal game.” With the victory, the United States is now scheduled to face off against the winner of a game between Sweden and Latvia on Wednesday, Feb.
18 at Milano Santagiulia Arena with the puck dropping at 9:10 p.m. local time and 3:10 p.m. ET."Coach Mike Sullivan mentioned it's been hard for players to fall asleep quickly after games; the U.S. has typically been arriving back to the village around 1:15am postgame," hockey insider Frank Seravalli reported. Team USA fans flocked to social media to suggest malicious intent with the scheduling while rivals called out the U.S. coach for coming up with excuses for the team. "Olympics doing everything they can to make it harder for the US. Meanwhile it’s been a cakewalk for Canada," "7 days ago captain Brady wanted the 'full experience'….. now we can’t go to bed on time?! Pick a lane," In reality, the scheduling was likely created by NBC to give American viewers a chance to watch their favorite team take the ice.
