Screencap from CBC's overnight Olympics feed, featuring a replay of the Tuesday men's quarterfinal hockey game between Canada & Czechia. At the top of the screen, in white font, we read: Olympic Winter Games Pacific Prime and Overnight: Day 13 This is superimposed over the game score/stats: ft the Canadian flag (two red bars on the outside flanking a centred red maple leaf on a white background, on the top, and showing 2 goals to the right of it; the Czech Republic flag in the bottom of this table, a blue triangle extending from the left of the flag to about a third of the way of the flag, with the rest of the flag divided evenly between white (on top) and red (on bottom), and showing 3 goals to the right of it. To the right of THAT, it shows Canada with 33 shots on goal to Czechia's 19, and to the right of that, we see 7:42 left in the 3rd period. In the lower 3rd of the screen, we see a yellow video progress bar, and below that, standard video interaction buttons (LHS: play/pause, start from beginning, jump ahead/back 15 seconds, jump to end; RHS: volume, closed captioning, descriptive video, keyboard shortcuts, stream quality, and fullscreen controls). The left two thirds mainly ft a shot of SIX!!!!! players from Czechia in a hug/huddle, excited that they just scored a goal. Their jerseys are white with red across the shoulders - which features the players' names on it (the red), and their numbers in blue, centred on the white part of the jersey below that (player with 88 is closest to camera; his name 'Necas' is the only name visible); they are all also wearing dark royal blue helmets & CCM gloves; the CCM gloves have a red band at the wrist. Each player from R-L has a red number above their head (added by me) 1-6. The right third of the photo features a Ref or Linesman (in standard black and white striped shirt and black helmet) with a yellow R? and L? written on the picture (by me) over his helmet-LITERALLY right in front of the players watching them hug.
Pausing my gov't-related rants for half a second to ask:
How the heck did the Ref/Linesman RIGHT THERE (?!) miss this?!
Whew.
(And can we talk about how both teams from Czechia took out both of our captains? It's the hockey upsidedown.)
