Apparently Lindsey still need a little more building and reconstruction or some un-reconstruction on the erector set. Seems like the term Fracture is underrated for her. Unstable Fracture or Broken leg bone seems like a better description for her injury.

Good for her. TBH I figured she was going to choke again.

3 out of 4 elimination games required goals in the final minutes to tie and all ended in Overtime.
Possibly the best single day of international ice hockey in history.
All I can say is Mikaela Fucking Shiffrin. The GOAT. So happy that she medaled. So many Burkies (both BMA and Burke Mountain Community members) are just over the moon for her.
Yes. Just insane.
