The 2026 Winter Olympics haven't offered the most thrilling hockey moments so far. It would've been hard for the tournament to live up to the expectations of the first best-on-best edition since 2014. However, Wednesday's four quarterfinal matchups did they best they could with the final three games going to overtime. Some Boston Bruins representatives emerged victorious and some are going home, and that isn't the worst thing for fans.
The first game saw Slovakia demolish Germany in a surprising result that many expected to be closer than it was, but the next three games saw Canada, Finland, and the USA win in overtime, with Czechia, Switzerland, and Sweden heading home.
