Jack O'Callaghan

The alarm goes off.

I look at my phone.

It could not have been more perfect.

It says on my phone that it is a tie game.

It's 1-1 after two periods.

I jump out of bed like it's Christmas morning.

I go downstairs, and I get my coffee, and I go into another room in my parents' house.

There's my mom.

My mom is in another room because my mom is one of these sports fans who can't handle it when the pressure gets too much.

She's like, I am not going to watch this.

I can't handle it right now.

But I went and hung out with my dad in the other room.

where the game was blaring, and we just had a blast.

And my mom actually did eventually come into the room, and when the goal was scored, I'm going crazy.

For some reason, because it's so sudden, and it's for all the marbles,

It did remind me of the Blackhawks' first cup of their three-cup run in 2010 when you didn't know that Kane had scored.

He's running down, throwing the mitts up.

That's what it felt like.

The Hawks won a Stanley Cup.

Team USA wins gold.
