And this, as I was listening to commentary, I was being informed, was probably the greatest Olympic final in ice hockey in terms of the quality.

Now, that has been helped because this was the first Winter Olympics since...

14 I think 14 that NHL players have been in because there's been disputes with the NHL over kind of lots of things around insurance and then COVID last time out so basically all the NFL players were in there so there was suddenly big hopes for USA that they might eventually get over the line I hadn't realised it was that long since they won it since 1980 which if anybody has watched the film Miracle on Ice will know it was a team of college students and misfits that went up against the might of the USSR and

beat them in the semi-final, you know, with all the political backdrop of the Cold War.

But they hadn't won an Olympic gold since, which was astounding to me.

The women have, but the men haven't.

And they were coming up against Canada in the final.

The brilliance of the NHL players.

And it was an amazing game.

And the only reason, well, they won it because they got a, basically won one after normal time, went to overtime as golden goal, which is great.

Do you know what?

I turned to like, yeah, there was a Canadian commentator from TSM beside me.

And I was just like, this is golden goal, isn't it?

I was just, oh, bring it back.

You know, love that.

So it was, you know, tension was ramped up.

It was so fast.

But the US goalkeeper, Conor Hellebuck, basically won that for... He's getting the Medal of Freedom now.

Yes, he is.

And rightly so.
