I think we've identified very clearly that there are major issues here.

The problem is the rebrand backfired. People were confused.
Unknown 0:14
No apologies. The door hits you on the way out. Fired on the spot. Companies, culture, chaos. If it's broken, we're going to fix it. That's my fix this time around.
Jessi Pierce 0:23
I like that idea. I love that.

My favorite. It's Judd's Hockey Show. Oh, and it is Judd's Hockey Show. It is Judd's Hockey Show. It is Wednesday. The Men's Olympic Hockey Tournament starts today. The U.S. men, of course, playing on Thursday along with Canada, a full slate of games. The U.S. women absolutely kicked the snot out of Canada. Incredible. We are going to get to it all. Judd's Hockey Show. It is the full-strength version. It is Jesse Pierce. Of course, NHL.com covers the Wild Bar Down Beauties, a fantastic show on the Score North Network. They just had Rob McClanahan on. from the 1980 Olympic hockey team. A great conversation there. If you missed it, if you care at all about one of the great, or actually probably the greatest moment in U.S.
Judd 1:59
hockey history, beyond a shadow of a doubt, check out the Bar Down Beauty's A.J. Fredrickson as always. And we're gonna get to it all, but first I wanna talk to you about my good friends. In fact, I'm representing very strong with the hat today and the coffee mug. That would be Victory Tire and Otto. where they believe in relationships and their goal is to serve customers for the long-term, personalized, trustworthy, and consistent service. Family-owned business established right here in Minnesota in 1997. Victory has an industry-leading, get this, five-year, 50,000-mile warranty on all new parts and labor.

Tell them the sports dad sent you. Why? Not just because he's extremely popular. Because you're going to get $25 off any oil change service as well. Also, complimentary multi-point safety inspection with every service appointment. Again, VictoryTireAndAuto.com. Quality work, genuine care for all of life's miles at Victory Tire and Auto. All right. Let's get to it. So, Jess, we did a show, Age and I, a couple of days ago, talking about like the line combinations and sort of expectations for the U.S. team. But now that we've got you, as we're about to get the tournament for the men started, what are your expectations for the United States as they attempt to win their first Olympic gold since 1980 and their first tournament of any international, especially with professional importance since 1996 in the World Cup of Hockey?
Jessi Pierce 3:30
I'm scared to say it because I don't have full reasoning. I've been trying to figure out why I feel this way. I said it on Bardown Beauties the other day. I'm concerned about the meddling, frankly, which I know is insane. Everybody else has projected them to get gold or silver, right? I think their gold tending is superior, and I think their depth at the blue line is phenomenal. It's the forwards. I just don't see that as a huge strength, right? You look at Canada, and it's superstar after superstar after superstar, elite offensive production. The U.S. doesn't necessarily have that, and I'm not taking that away from the very elite talent that is there, the Jake Gensels, the Matt Boldys, right? But they're all second tier to the McKinnons, the McDavids, the Celebrinis, the Crosbys, the Marners.
