I think we talked about this in our pre-show meeting.
Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, where were you when you watched something that you hadn't seen happen since 1980 or perhaps hadn't seen at all?
I will confess.
I DVR'd it, and I watched the game on tape delay.
I got to see Mike Tirico's wonderful closing comments for that broadcast live, but I did not get to see what happened real time, but I kept up with the data.
But I had to watch it when I was fully awake on Sunday.
Well, I had a good laugh because Mark Lazarus, who covers the Blackhawks for The Athletic, and was the noted longtime Blackhawks reporter here in town, had the barf cry die during Twitter when Twitter was like fun.
So that was always the stress of watching the hockey playoffs.
And I did think of him in the barf cry die while I was watching the game and just understanding the stress and knowing that...
Even when you're watching an Olympics time delay where you know what you're going to see, just feeling it all together.
And then even watching the replays of the medal ceremony were just incredibly emotional.
But the lead that Mark Lazarus has that I want to share is pretty amazing, too.
To their graves, to their graves.
blanking graves and he types another letter in there but that's the point is if this were on the other side for the u.s to get as close as it had gotten to a gold medal since 2010 and then arguably even closer when you consider what happened that year you know that was sydney crosby's team taking him down you don't want to win silver
You know, you want to win either the bronze or the gold because at least at that point you're winning the game.
But in this case, to be so close and to have just an incredible performance from Connor Hellebuck as well.
I mean, that's one of those performances that'll stand out, you know, for the ages.
Like, to have 41 saves in the game.
Oh, yeah.
Like, how do you even put that into discussion?
