And the fact is, it's all about the respect for Canada.

And it wouldn't have been the same.

I know this sounds stupid.

If somehow Canada had lost that game, right, in the semifinals or the quarters, excuse me, to check, it wouldn't have been the same.

And it would have been a gold medal and it would have been amazing.

But it's still in the back of everyone's mind.

Well, we haven't beat Canada when it counts.

The way we were able to do it, I mean, we wrote a hot goalie.

People say, oh, without Hellbug.

It's like, well, that's the game.

I mean, some people say you might as well call the sport goalie.

And he just stood on his head.

And the first period, that boldy goal was amazing.

But in terms of, like, the country here, like, hockey is getting better and better and better.

And there's issues with youth hockey, I think, all over Canada.

and the amount of kids who may end up playing.

Now, money is an issue, but the amount of kids who want to play at least and will give it a shot after seeing what happened and Jack Hughes' life changing forever, it's just something I'll never forget.

And, like, I was emotional after, and that's something I watched.

I watched the World Cup of Hockey and I haven't seen anything since.

You know, we've seen the World Juniors, you've seen everything, but it doesn't matter.
