And not only do we get the gold medal game, but we get... Three skaters aside in overtime, sudden death.

Sudden death overtime.

And we get Jack Hughes, a former first overall pick, who had been high-sticked in the face late in the third period.

Maybe a bit more.

I mean, I would say everything is great right up until the point where Team USA leaves the ice.

And apparent hockey enthusiasts.

Now, why was he there at the Olympics?
