It was a great game. The story of Johnny Gaudreau is heartbreaking though.

Both brothers killed on the night before their sister’s wedding.

Great game. Lots of shouting in our house. Canada would’ve beat the USA 8 times out of 10 but glad we won this time!

Doesn’t feel nearly as good as the 1980 gold.

Tremendous spirit here for the game. All 3 pubs opened real early for the game!

It shouldn’t.

If you watch the last play, right after we first control the puck, Jack Hughes makes an extremely risky gamble by poking at the puck to keep it moving down the ice. Of course we know he barely (by an inch?) hit the puck before the Canadian player and he ended up scoring about 5 seconds later. But had he not hit the puck first the Canadians would've had an easy 2 vs 0 and likely would've won it for their side. I'll see if I can find a clip.

In addition to randomly the FBI director chugging beers in the locker room, it's getting a bit weird. While on a call with President Trump talking to the men's team just after they won, Trump basically said they're invited to the white house and he guess he has to invite the women's team too so he doesn't get impeached. (The women's team also beat Canada for gold in overtime).

Anyway, I believe the women's team just announced they will not be going to the white house.

King anti-Midas once again, folks....

TNCR could learn so much from the USA men’s hockey team.
