that I see, you know, the best part of who they are and why they have ascended to where they are.

You know, it was interesting, and I don't know if you knew this, but prior to the Olympic gold medal between the women's teams, the Americans and the Canadians, Hillary Knight, the captain, who is, I mean, blood, sweat, and tears for USA hockey.
