Jesse Pierce

Hello.

Good morning.

Happy Monday.

Jesse Pierce, Kirsten Kroll.

Tons of hockey to talk about.

Obviously, Olympics.

You've got high school hockey sections going on.

Girls State Tournament starts this week.

But the biggest hockey news, Kirsten, that I would like to address.

There's two components that I would like to start this week's episode off with.

The first one.

being Matthew Kachuk, giving us the greatest chirp we have all probably ever heard to Leandra Seidel in yesterday's U.S.

vs. Germany preliminary, where he said, always the bridesmaid, eh, Leon?

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

The best thing, too, is before it went viral and made its rounds, I'd heard it live because I was watching the game, but I only caught the always the bridesmaid, never the bride, eh?

And I was like, that's got to be to Leandra Seidel.

That's got to be.

Please tell me it's to Leandra Seidel.

And sure enough, once the internet picked up on it and we, in fact, discovered that was the case, right?

Because it even goes back, I realized, too.
