Just before that goal, remember, the U.S.

had a three-on-one.

That Canadian player did have possession and control of the puck briefly, and he had a lane to skate it behind the goal and get out of trouble.

But that U.S.

player took it off his stick right away, and he didn't know he was there.

But there was an avenue to safety there, and he didn't do it good.

Thanks, guys.

Yes, Joe.

Hey, yeah, I heard you earlier talking about Hughes' teeth, and I didn't realize until the post-game interview where he was kind of, of course, excited and smiling, and I saw that his front tooth, which is called the central incisor, was completely broken at the gum line, which...

means that he probably had a complete exposure of the pulp.

Yeah, well, if you remember the movie Marathon Man where Dustin Hoffman was getting his teeth drilled into the pulp area and the pain that is the result.

But it just amazes me how these hockey players –

can just block it out.

Maybe it was his adrenaline.

No, you know what, Joe?

I mean, they probably could fix it, but I'm going to say that he's not going to fix it because that's his badge of honor.

He wants the people to see him with that missing front tooth.

I think that's going to be, like I said, it's going to be his badge of honor.

You're probably right about that.

If I were him, I wouldn't get it fixed until I made it.
