All right, Jay, so the two of us are watching this game, obviously in different locations.

Speegs is in Arizona at the time, and I'm here in Chicago.

When Hugh scores the goal, the goosebumps and the emotion that I feel pale in comparison to someone who's actually part of the bridge that got to 2026.

Explain to people, there's so much...

And is this team better than that team?

And everyone wants to compare eras and teams, et cetera, in 2026.

Explain how important it is to someone of your stature, someone who played in the Olympics, someone who chased the dream of winning gold, how important yesterday was.

You said it great a couple answers ago about the best team on the ice were the Canadians, but the best goaltender was in the United States.

Hellebuck, obviously, standing on the head to me is an insult to what he did yesterday in that game because he was so –

abnormal I mean the picture that's going to hang in his trophy room forever of that bird's eye of blocking with the stick I still don't know I've watched it 300 times and I don't understand how he made that save and he probably doesn't either the problem I had was after the game when you had the Canadians when you had McKinnon saying we were the best team on the ice there was no mention of Hellebuck

you had Cooper talking about gimmicky three-on-three.

And here's why I have a problem with it, JR.

Maybe it's just part of the sore losing that comes with it and being shocked and stunned at the end result, is that there wouldn't have been those comments had they won the game.

There would have been no mention.

If Canada won the gimmicky three-on-three in the Olympics, they won gold, Cooper wouldn't have said a damn word.

So I just was surprised.

And to me, it's part of the taste that feels so damn good today.

Yeah, the beauty of the game.

It's the beauty of sports.

You get the Kachuk brothers, you get the Hughes brothers.
