I was euphoric for those kids.
And, and I know a lot of them, I, you know, I know pretty good friends with most of the guys that are coaching and managing and, uh,
Jack, I'm sure it was euphoric to see your namesake score that game-winning goal in overtime.
What I'm curious about is how much of a callback did you have to your moment, Lake Placid, when you see that golden goal happen?
What were your immediate thoughts and reactions?
I'm sure you had been sitting on, you know, pins and needles waiting to see what happened in overtime, right?
No, you're wrong.
It's totally overstating it.
I mean, you know, it was 46 years ago that we had our moments and it's been great.
It was great.
But that was ours.
You know, it was unique.
None of that was really...
sort of in my heart or in my mind, you know, watching the game, I was, this is their time.
It was their moment.
And I was just enjoying seeing them, uh, being in the Olympics playing as well as they did.
I mean, it was a hard thought, you know, they, every team they played getting to this point was very challenging.
And, and, um, you know, uh,
watching the game, going into overtime, and the Canadiens really coming on strong.
Yeah, to me, it was just like I was watching a hockey game with a bunch of guys that I know.
