Jesse Pierce

Is he still climbing over the boards awkwardly with the Olympic squad?

There's not enough time where you see the guys go to the bench for us to really get a capture moment of it, but I need to know because, or is he too embarrassed to do it in front of these guys or does he, or is he still doing it?

Right.

and like the conversations surrounding i just don't get i think it's partially because jack's a guy that just says what he says right he says whatever he's on his mind quinn seems to be very more deliberate in the way he works and then luke is the third brother so it's always just kind of fun to get that mix i think it also stems from jack hughes is organically an attractive kid i think is where a lot of that also kate like i think a lot of people see that

i don't see it too young for me to but i i think objectively you're like yeah he's a good looking dude you know quinn has good hair i don't know that he's as but you know again jackie's looks like he'd be in a boy band frankly that's true right he's and this is getting too personal now he's too pretty boy for me i like the more rugged like give me give me more of the tom wilson's the ryan o'reilly's like that's for me that's my style

Exactly.

So I think that's also where a lot of the fascination grew from, which is fine.

Everybody finds their way to hockey one way or another, and we love it.

Now that you're here, you're enjoying the game, and there's tons of it to enjoy.

We're going to talk about men's Olympic team in a little bit, but I want to start with the women's team, Kirsten.

They are moving on, as we all expected, to the semifinals today against Sweden.

Sweden, a huge upset over the Czech Republic, 2-0, but the U.S.

women have been top to bottom.

the queens of this tournament right the kings even they have just been outscoring every opponent they had four shutout games in their five play they've only allowed one goal um you know they played canada downed them pretty easily they've got thursday's gold medal game on the line i'm going to be shocked absolutely shocked if the u.s doesn't just cruise on through as they've done throughout this entire tournament so far

No, I mean, I think the biggest surprise comes to the Canada and U.S., right?

Like, you're seeing the U.S.

as of late, not just in the Olympic Games, but even in the Rivalry Series or in World Championships, other iterations of international competition.

The U.S.

is not getting pushed down.

And naturally, Canada was without Marie Pouillon or Marie Philippe.
