How did the US Men's Hockey Team win gold in overtime?
We are going to hear from Kenny Albert every single hour, and rightly so, because you've got all over the Internet. It's like, hear Kenny's electric game-winning call, and it certainly was on NBC.
Watch up behind the net. And it's Wierenski. Now Jack Hughes puts it around the clock. United States with numbers.
What was Kenny Albert's call during the game-winning moment?
Rock across it comes. Jack Hughes wins it! The golden goal for the United States! For the first time since the 1980 miracle, the United States takes the gold!
Yeah, and that was Kenny Albert on NBC.
Great call. Absolutely great call. He, Eddie, Olchek, Catherine Tappan, and, of course, Brian Boucher, who did say in the beginning of the game it was the fastest game he's ever seen, and it's a privilege to be able to broadcast the game.
Yeah, I mean, he said it was the quickest he's ever seen hockey at that level in his life, and that's a guy who's seen a lot of hockey. So it shows you what was going on inside both of these teams.
I mean, Kenny Albert, for my money, obviously had a great Olympics. Mike Tirico had a great Olympics.
Yeah, I was going to bring him up because you didn't mention him as part of the broadcast, but he's not known as a hockey guy. I mean, this guy was just right there. He was perfect for the situation. So, yeah, NBC did a really, really good job with this.
So here's some reaction after the overtime win, the gold medal and all that. Here's the head coach Mike Sullivan talking about his guy Jack Hughes.
So I think Jack had a terrific tournament from the first game on. The goals he scored were big-time goals. You know, it's an emotional roller coaster when you go through these experiences.
And he certainly cashed in, as we know, use himself. Jack, not Quinn, was on NBC afterwards, and he was asked what this means to him.
This is all about our country right now. I love the USA. I love my teammates. It's unbelievable. The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong. And we have so much support from ex-players. I'm so proud to be American.
How about that? So much so that I hear that Boomer's got devil season tickets for next year.
You know, I am happy for him, man. I'm happy for us. And everything that he said after that game just warmed the cockles of my heart, Jerry.
And they should. And they should. Here was Connor Hellebuck. He had the 40 saves. He was phenomenal. What this means to him.
It's a dream come true. You know, I love this group. We've had so much fun over here. We've grinded. We've battled. You know. This is some of the best and most fun hockey I've ever played.
How about that? The most fun hockey he's ever played.
I mean, that guy was just unbelievable. I mean, I keep referencing what Eddie Olchek said, but he's right. It felt like Canada could have won this game 5-1, 4-1 without what Hellebuck was doing out there.
I think Nathan McKinnon also was kind of on that, that they felt like they outplayed the Americans but just couldn't get the win.
That's why Nathan McKinnon got pushed off the puck at the end There you go. Zach Wierenski just pushed him right off the puck. He didn't commit. Did not commit. He could have just taken that puck, could have taken Wierenski and thrown him into the boards. Didn't do any of that. And Cal McCarr was basically loafing back, and they ended up losing.
Yeah, I heard a lot of words there, but really what I heard from Boomer was, suck it!
Suck it, McKinnon. I love the guy. He's a great player, man. I love him on my team. But, man, oh, man, oh, man. He got pushed right off the puck in the most important part of the game.
One more. Mike Sullivan said, have you heard from the government?
The players just had the president on, I don't know what it was. What do you call it?
What did Mike Sullivan say about Jack Hughes' performance?
FaceTime, whatever, in the locker room. So he just spoke to the group, you know, expressing his...
how proud he was of of the group and congratulating everybody on the win yeah so pretty cool there and then i went through the entire press conference with sullivan um jack and quinn hughes and also you had i think it was brady was it brady no it was connor hellebuck who was up there as well or is austin matthews so we'll have more audio from them coming up through the course of the morning a lot about america obviously and how proud they are
