Chapter 1: What were the standout moments in the USA vs. Canada hockey game?
An unbelievable hockey game, riveting from start to finish. Listen to the Pump and Joe show every Wednesday to hear about Starkey's Card of the Week from the Baseball Card Castle and Cranberry Contest run every Wednesday through Friday at noon at the 93.7 The Fan.com contesting page. I was thinking about what you said earlier, Limits, and definitely the roster construction was right on.
The penalty kill was huge yesterday, and I think they were perfect in the tournament. What I was trying to get at was whatever they were trying to accomplish strategy-wise and how to manage the game yesterday didn't work. That's sort of the different story from the actual penalty kill was unbelievable and roster construction.
But let's just say however the Americans wanted that game to go is not how it went because they got dominated. But The goalie's part of the team. They had the right goalie. I mean, it's like saying, yeah, we got territorially dominated, but we had the better quarterback, so we won. Well, good for you. And wherever you got your quarterback from, you made the right choice.
So do you know what I mean by that?
Yeah, I do, because Canada did outplay them. Badly.

Chapter 2: How did Connor Hellebuyck's performance impact the game?
But that's why the roster needed to be the way that it was. You could not skill for skill, talent for talent, match up with Canada.
So you go out there as a plan to get dominant? I mean, the goalie won the game.
No, you go out there with a different type of game plan.
Their game plan didn't work.
Well, whatever it was, was good enough.
Yeah. No, the goalie was better than good enough. He was unbelievable.
17, 17 killing penalties in the entire tournament.
Penalty killing is inarguable that whatever Garen and Sully and whoever else had decision making power there chose right guys to do that. The game plan as it was didn't work unless the game plan was let's give up tons and tons of golden opportunities and have Hellebuck steal the game. If that was the game plan, then it worked. But again, they got him. He performed credit to them and him.
He was the MVP, by the way. Not McDavid for the tournament. It should have been Hellebuck. He was. I don't remember. I mean, I'm trying to remember greatest goaltending performances I've ever seen, and that one's right up there. All right. Let's go to the phone lines, shall we? Who do we got?

Chapter 3: What were the strategies used by Team USA during the tournament?
Good morning.
I was curious to find out that the coaches don't get a medal. Now, in other sports, I'm sure they get rings, whether it's baseball or football or basketball. Any particular reason for that, or is it an Olympic role, or just it's got to be something?
I don't know the answer to that. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. I could Google it. Why don't Olympic coaches get a medal? Do you know limits? You're the Olympics beat writer.
No, I do not know that, but I realized it when I watched, I watched a miracle. Finally, Joe, I watched it the night before the game.
Yeah.
And her Brooks did not receive a medal. And I was like, huh, that's somewhat strange. I never picked up on that from team USA basketball or anything. I feel like the coaching staff deserves a medal. Don't you?
Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Yeah, I don't understand that.
Now I'm thinking about that. I'm going to be totally honest with you. I didn't even know this.

Chapter 4: What role did roster construction play in Team USA's performance?
I didn't know it. I'll admit that. I thought coaches did get medals, so silly me.
Yeah, they mentioned it sometime in a post-game that the coach... I guess if they would have gotten one, they would have lined up with the players. And that's what made me curious, but... Somebody made the statement that the coaches do not receive a medal, along with the fact that, like I said, they weren't out there lined up along the team to receive the medal and their teddy bear or whatever.
Yeah, thanks for the call. Yeah, it is. And you just educated me. I think the head coach should get a medal. I don't know about individual sports, though. Should the coach get a medal? I don't know about that. But in team sports? At least the head coach. I mean, you don't give it to every single person. It's not like a Stanley Cup ring.
Right, but it's not like they have a ton of assistant coaches, isn't it? The head coach, two assistants, and then the trainer or the team doctor.
How much does a gold medal cost limit? Do you know? That's a wonderful question. I don't. Why don't you find out? That is weird. That's very weird. And I'm glad to be more educated than I was 10 minutes ago. Next question.
Here is Justin to chime in.
How's it going, guys? Good. You? Not too bad. So a couple questions for you. So coming off the loss of, you know, U.S. versus Canada and the injury to Sidney Crosby. So my question about Sid, do you feel or do you think that you know, the injury to Sidney Crosby is going to affect his season with the Penguins.
Of course. If he didn't play in that game, I can't imagine he'd be on the ice Thursday night. Do you think so?
No, honestly, I was hoping they would find something, you know, you know, to work with, you know, work with him on, you know, getting him back sooner. But I don't think he's going to come back. Honestly. I mean, I agree with you on that.

Chapter 5: How does Sidney Crosby's injury affect his season with the Penguins?
I didn't see the little clip he's talking about. Did you?
No, I did not. But yeah, good for Mike Sullivan.
Good for Jake Gensel. Good for Bill Guerin. Good for Trochek. Great for all these guys. Who am I missing, Limits? There was a couple of other connections.
I think that was mainly him. Guerin, Gensel, Sullivan, JT Miller, and Trochek.
JT, right, okay. There you go.
All right, next. Here is Jason. He's in North Carolina.
What's up, Jason?
Hey, guys.
How are you guys doing? Good. What's up? Not too much, not too much. Hey, I was watching a lot of stuff on Canada on McDavid, and if you watch that overtime, you see McDavid twice go one on three. That created the Matthews chance and then created the goal for Hughes. And they were dogging him on his back checking.

Chapter 6: Why don't Olympic coaches receive medals?
Let me ask you a question. Seriously, because you raise a good topic and I am. Where are you right now? Did you say?
Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
North Carolina. Okay. I wonder how this is playing in Canada today. We should get somebody on as a matter of fact limits, maybe Ken Campbell. And if there are real like villains and goats, I don't, McDavid shouldn't have been the MVP, but it's very hard for me to look at. It's very hard for me to look at him as a villain or a goat. In overtime, you've got to go for it.
That means you're Connor McDavid and you try and go one on three and you try and go one on three. If it's Cale McCarr and you try to go for a pick six, he went for a pick six. Somebody's going to win that game early in overtime. He missed by inches. I think it would have been him and McDavid on a two on O. Instead, it's an odd man break the other way. That's life in three on three.
So I hope that those guys aren't getting, you know, victimized today what's the word for it uh just just ripped it's scapegoated yes for the empty net yeah scapegoat but mckinnon's getting ripped for that
The unbelievable save by Halibut, the five on three. They're whining about the three on three format, which I really like.
So do I. And that's our next question. I appreciate the call. Why don't we get to that at the top? I still have more questions about the broadcast, about the three on three format, and just maybe the impact for you personally. Where were you watching the game? And, you know, what was going on for you watching this?
Do you want to know how much the medals cost? How much? CBS News said that they have an intrinsic melt value of approximately $2,300 to $2,500.
That's it? Yeah. Well, then the coaches should definitely get them. It seems like some ancient Olympic tradition that's gone the way of the dodo bird. Do you remember dodo birds? No. Ron interviewed one a long time ago.

Chapter 7: What is the cost of an Olympic gold medal?
You were in seat three. If I was in E, then he was in D-E-F. You were in seat three on Southwest last night from Fort Myers to Pittsburgh. Coughing right in my face the whole flight. He can't control it. Maybe he had a cold. Yes, he could control it. Then he should have done something. Done what? I don't know. Not been sick? Yes. Don't fly. How does that happen?
How do I always get stuck next to coughing guy or have coughing guy behind me?
If having coughing guy behind you is a lot better than coughing guy next to you. Is it? I think so.
All right.
But you made it back. Did you get your refund? I don't know.
I think they sent something saying, if you don't hear from us, you'll get a refund. Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. Probably in 2036.
Where was the meal voucher for? Like, did you use the meal voucher?
No. I don't even know. They don't even serve meals on the flight, except for crackers. What's a meal voucher?
Maybe it was a voucher for the airport.
