Ryan McGuffey

And this moment yesterday was built...

on 80 but also really built on Ryan Miller and those Olympic teams and Jeremy Roenick who we're hoping to speak to today and those that 2002 team with Keith Kachuk and here are his boys on this team it's like yesterday which was so amazing we're going to spend a lot of time on the show talking about it yesterday was so amazing it doesn't happen without 1980 there's no need to compare

And contrast, they just, one thing led to another.

And that's a beautiful life cycle.

We don't often get to see it in sports.

And that was part of yesterday's awesomeness.

It's like seeing the Tiger Woods effect with golfers of color.

You know, it's like this is golfers.

What we're seeing when we see stuff like this is is the natural ebb and flow.

It's the power of seeing quality representation and dreaming of the possibilities.

That was the subtext of the whole day, which was lovely.

And the fact that it was 46 years to the day is insane.

But you sent the, I'm not on social media much anymore, so I hadn't seen it, but I'm glad you sent it.

Mike Ruggioni being carried on one of the players' shoulders in celebration last night.

What a crazy, beautiful thing to get to see.

If anybody hasn't watched the Netflix documentary, the Boys of 80.

Because it's all those guys just kind of hanging around, and they're in a rink.

They're in the rink at Lake Placid, which is tiny, and it just feels insane.

And they're watching footage of their tryouts, and they're watching footage of their games and just talking about it.

It's amazing.
