And it didn't matter until you beat Canada.

And so for me, growing up, just like idolizing that World Cup team, I was 13 years old then.

And then to see a new group of guys and a new group of kids being able to idolize different people.

moving forward and 25 years from now having some superstar from the u.s who talks about being you know seven six nine years old when that game happened that's that's big for our country and canada still you know you're always chasing after canada you always will but for at least this year in the next couple years till the next best on best world cup it's like we finally have bragging rights and it had to happen at some point but

An incredible rivalry, and it's like you guys are the standard.

So at some point, you've got to beat them.

You can't keep losing the one that matters.

Uh, there's no one better stuff.

I know you'll be on in the next two or three episodes.

Um, today we had on Derek step on who does work with, uh, player development for the wild.

So we talked a lot about Minnesota and he's obviously been watching all the series.

And then we had trip Tracy on a great guy, uh, Carolina, Carolina hurricanes, um,

Color guy, and he loves the game.

He's an awesome chat, and we have a little bet.

I actually picked Ottawa in that series.

I'm regretting it a little bit based on the health of the Ottawa defensemen and how good Carolina can be and look.

I'm regretting that, but I think Ottawa's a hell of a team when they get goaltending, and they need some guys to show up a little bit more in game one.

But it was a good show, and it's out now, and we'll be live Monday and Thursday at 11 a.m.

on Netflix for the entire playoffs.

They treat you, they get you a jersey, they sign you a ball, they bring you to game seven, you roll your sweaty ass out on it.
