Well, if you thought the men's hockey showcase at PyeongChang 2018 was going to be boring or uneventful due to the lack of NHL-ready talent, think again.

On the opening day of the tournament, colossal underdog Slovenia provided one of the biggest Olympic hockey upsets in recent memory, shocking the United States in overtime by a score of 3-2.

The U.S. was pegged to be in contention for at least a medal and went into Wednesday's contest as heavy favorites against a Slovenian side that had only two previous Olympic victories in its history.

Not to take anything away from Slovenia, but this was a collapse of epic proportions on the part of the Americans. So naturally, Twitter had a field day.
