So I just think like what you saw from him, I was so happy for him.

And he was the difference maker for team USA.

I'm very bummed he didn't get the tournament MVP because I just think he deserved it.

But he doesn't even need it.

I actually talked to him afterwards.

After I did the Jack interview, I was in the mix zone, and I grabbed a couple of American players, and Connor was obviously one of them.

And I just said, like, you've listened to the critics over the years, yet what does this win tell them?

And he goes, yeah, they can write all they want.

I don't care.

And the reality is that he was –

If he didn't perform the way he did in crucial situations against a Canadian team that had the best star power of offensive weapons on the ice, they wouldn't have won that game yesterday, Team USA.

They just wouldn't have.

So it's awesome.

I actually loved when the national anthem was being sung and they panned to Connor Halibut and he had the biggest smile in the world.

He was proud.

He was proud as an American.

He was probably relieved that he won a massive game like that to get a gold medal.
