There'll be a really cool ceremony that the Wild have put out there.

I haven't seen the details yet, but 4 o'clock game, 3.30 pregame on FanDuel Sports Network as the Blues come calling.

And as I think about that and as I speak to you right now,

I think about Pareko and Bennington sitting there, likely in the starting lineup for St.

Louis, having to watch their rivals be celebrated one more time.

Boy, that's going to give them a little extra venom or juice for that game as well.

You don't think Ryan Hartman might bring that up a little bit during the game?

You don't think Hartman's going to escape by that crease and maybe mention the gold medal game?

That is going to be, give me my popcorn.

That's going to be some good entertainment.

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.
