What does Jeremy Roenick think about Team USA's gold medal win?
And it's Wierenski. Now Jack Hughes puts it around the park. United States with numbers. Back 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. Jack Hughes beating Jordan Bennington. Here's Matthew Kachuk. Dad Keith has a silver medal.
How does Jeremy Roenick describe his experience watching the game in Canada?
He was a four-time Olympian. Won silver in Salt Lake 2002. Matthew Kachuk said, leading up to this game, we aren't playing for ourselves. We are playing for our country, for the guys that came before us, and for the generation that will come after that. A little sweeter for Team USA when you can beat your arch rival in a gold medal game at the Winter Olympics.
Kenny Albert and Eddie Olchek on the call there for NBC as Keith Kachuk has referenced the 2002 U.S. Olympic team in Salt Lake City that earned a silver is referenced. And a man who was on that team, the two-time Olympian, the U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer, the Blackhawks legend, and simply put, one of the greatest American hockey players of all time. Jeremy Roenick joins us right now on the score. It is me, Matt Spiegel, and him, Ryan McGuffey, with Jeremy Roenick on the show. What's up, JR? Thank you for the time.
My guys, my guys in Chicago wouldn't be a celebration without getting to talk to my guys and talk to my people in Chicago. What a great day to be an American.
How about it, man? Like that was so electric to gather. However, we all did. And we've been talking about it and watch that together.
What insights does Wayne Drehs provide about Pete Crow-Armstrong?
We knew it was going to be great because it's the best on the best. But then it was even better than that, wasn't it? That was unbelievable. Where were you watching? What was that like for you?
It was better than the best. And I'm going to say it was probably one of the best, if not the best hockey game I've ever seen. And I say that. with the speed, with the playmaking, with the goaltending, with the adrenaline. And unfortunately, or fortunately, I was watching the game from an airport in Canada. And I can't even tell you how uncomfortable I was sitting at the restaurant bar where everybody knew I was sitting there and watching it amongst a bunch of Canadians. And I'm the only one cheering. And that place turned to a morgue after that goal went in. The whole airport went quiet. except for me and i started cheering but i do have to say wait hold on did they know who you were did they realize they're with american hockey royalty i'm in canada everywhere i go in canada everywhere i go in canada everybody knows who i am everybody you know i had i had 10 women came up to me and asked me to take a picture with me before the end of the game and then
But I will say this. They were very gracious in their loss to me. They came up to me and said, congratulations, what an amazing achievement. I'm sure they said some things under their breath as they left, but they were gracious to me, and it was great. It really was.
What reflections does Raymont Harris share about life after football?
All right, Jay, so the two of us are watching this game, obviously in different locations. Speegs is in Arizona at the time, and I'm here in Chicago. When Hugh scores the goal, the goosebumps and the emotion that I feel pale in comparison to someone who's actually part of the bridge that got to 2026. Explain to people, there's so much... And is this team better than that team? And everyone wants to compare eras and teams, et cetera, in 2026. Explain how important it is to someone of your stature, someone who played in the Olympics, someone who chased the dream of winning gold, how important yesterday was.
It was as important as 1980 was for me and for the generation that I played in, which really that was the generation that put USA Hockey on the world power map. You know, in 1996, we won the World Cup. We beat Canada in the World Cup. And that was really the first time that we beat Canada in a major international event, which... literally was the biggest thing since 1980. I know where I was in 1980 when Mike Aruzanian scored that goal. And I wanted to be a professional hockey player because of that goal.
