Welcome to the Empty Netters podcast. Can you believe what this has become? There was a full 48 hours where I felt like I was like literally Superman. Jumbo loves playing Fortnite, so he gets on the stick. Did TR show you the sauna cycle or was that all you? No, I invented that. Almost a year now that I haven't taken a body check. That's kind of nice. So we are back. We are horned up. And we are going deep. Finished tonight with some chicken fingers and a few Guinnesses right into you guys. That's where this pod came to life. red is the best red is being an incredible that fucking sucked for canada and for red and he's being an absolute champion without you no comment the amount of fucking pictures redman had to take of us walk it out terrible absolutely red's like cool do you have a fucking razor blade thank you so much i am six feet from the edge oh my god boys holy shit okay listen we're gonna fucking rip through yeah we're ripping this live of course we got some stuff to go do some hangs to get to so we're going to rip this one we got the episode coming out later tj oshi joins he we just had a great chat with him so he'll be on the episode so when this is uploaded as the normal episode you'll see ocean the chat with us it's amazing stuff beautiful so much fucking going cp take me down the okay uh to start 80 20 canadian fans holy usa women's gold medal game 50 or you want that one 50 50 80 20 canadian fans that was fucking crazy home game somebody said uh they flew 3 000 miles for a fucking home game that was rattling to me coming into the game because i was like dude all the all the chants that got drowned out by the canada ones are crazy drowned out that was funny in one of the group stage games that we were doing that like someone would start like a denmark chant and it would be me to be like u.s.a. you and i was like yeah we got them in this game it was like u.s.a. you canada canada it's crazy holy so many flags so many canadian fans and they were the best it was it was just great sports great vibes all around um okay also fucking nothing would load at the rink so we have so much content we're gonna dump as soon as we get done with the live we took us a fucking hour to walk home we recorded with those so much shit's happening uh so it was chaos in the fucking streets hey i gotta ask is boldy glazer in the chat yet oh shit dude i don't know if not boldy glazer you get your ass in here if you aren't fucking here baby um uh so dude to start the game they go they didn't go micmac to start the semi-final game correct even as a line let alone to start starting opening lineup uh micmac line and dude we pumped them for the first two minutes of agree i was i was so nervous coming in and then that eichel had a grade a in like first two minutes and i was like holy shit are we gonna fucking throttle these guys i legitimately thought for a second i did i legitimately was like i was nervous i think yeah i just thought it was good back and forth don't don't forget i mean uh canada had four or five shots on that before usa even got one yeah holdy was the first shot on that yep but but that eichel one got blocked i guess them because it was right there but that was insane um that's when i was really fired up then canada settled in and got super physical there was that one shift where larks and wilson collided and larks held his own but that was that was a big hit by kong yeah then um quim got run by i think bennett and then matthew got this is the same shift oh yeah i think it's his fucking dome popped off it was a heavy hit heavy hit i was like dude chuck i think that stung him a little bit honestly and then he battled through you were making that comment because a couple times he looked not disoriented but he just kind of looked a little slow and i was like you might be hearing things right now so that actually had me shook at first because i was like oh dude because i thought at four nations i thought what we were like we're gonna punch you guys in the mouth physically yeah this isn't the game you want to play and then in this game can i come up and was like watch this dude how would you like eat me would you like to play fast would you like to play hard it doesn't matter where the fucking eat me i know so that got in that moment i was scared then you get matt um sheer brilliance just a moment of sheer brilliance last episode i was stroking him off wanted to stroke him off he deserved it and then he comes through it's not every day that you see the best deep hair in the nhl get split with a little juggle dipsy doodah knocks it that flips it up knocks it down splits the two of them forehand backhand slides at home how is your mother holy fuck tits that was insane it was such a sick fucking celly sick goal a couple of my buddies texted me like that was the most that was the most disgusting goal of the tournament so i know i loved it we we got faber jumping into his arms a couple teammates a couple mini teammates yeah celly there together good call that was awesome and it was listen that was a huge goal huge goal i did think we needed to score first i agree i thought that was big so actually that was big i thought that was big usa goes up one um okay go i was just gonna say the rest of the first period was very back and forth i think hannah had the edge a couple times but usa pulled it back together they evened up the shot totals and it just felt like okay this is these are two very even teams yep uh there was a um late in the first there was a really scary brady could oh actually i want to say this math austin matthews and you called this out live on the boldly goal made an incredible play on the wall incredible play i sure do because he's not even a wing dude like he's over there and that's i always say to you the hardest play for wing wing is not hard except for getting pucks off the wall cleanly that was an incredible play by matthews off the wall that got it to boldly and then yes he did his juggling act which was incredible yeah but go back and watch that fucking replay he doesn't even get the puck if austin matthews doesn't get make that play off the wall that was fucking unsung legendary shit i apologize if you have this in the notes but this is a good time to say austin matthews that game played like alexander barkov in the stanley cup final this past year um he austin matthews went if we're gonna win this game it's not gonna be me getting flashy and scoring goals it's gonna be me playing fucking selkie defense and shutting down their best guys blocking shots getting in the mixer and he did um someone i still don't see boldy glazer i'm sorry if he's here someone says i don't know if this is true but someone says uh at the at the first u.s goal nbc panned to the crowd and it was just chris yapping at dance which i can't believe because we were in the fucking there's no way my nose i need someone is bleeding dude i could i'm pretty tall i could get the seal folks we were cp and i were hanging from the rafters that game we we pulled uh uh just so people know we're we're here on our own dime we're just having fun those tickets were like fucking two grand yeah we're hanging from the ceiling folks worth every fucking penny boys worth every fucking penny holy shit um okay so that fucking shout out matthews uh really scary brady kachuk turnover to zook remember he just there was a few of those in this i'm sorry do you mean that absolute beauty tape to tape pass right in the slot dude i was like yo bro and it was clear like it was clear that that was what he wanted to do and he fumbled the puck and then he got it and he's like i'm still doing it i was like no no no so that freaked me out um then this i just loved with five minutes left i doubt anyone on tv even saw this because it kind of happened after the whistle five minutes left there's a scrum in front and mcavoy gets like tangled and swings his stick and fucking drills boldy in the face and bold i was like charlie relax every fucking game it's like he's got that he's got that troll club christ dude he's on our team you want to fucking hit somebody else i said after the first period to a couple of canadian fans walking to the concourse i was like everyone's drunk out there and the ice must have been a little shitty and i i also said this the puck was bouncing around like someone sitting on their granddad's knee it was insane it was sloppy out there so many turnovers i'm sure obviously the nerves are are going are firing but the the puck was just bouncing around like crazy i also love that if charlie i think players on the u.s are um volunteering his tribute because he's got a high stick someone yeah yeah yeah just hit me boldy was like we can't take because then it's not me um okay uh then incredible play from brock to draw the the penalty member he was taking it in and we were like just go yourself go yourself he almost like we almost fucking mccard through the whole team truly draws the penalty and then i that was the first time i got greedy as a fan where i was like dude canada kind of flip the momentum i was just trying to get to the period break and if we grabbed a second right there i was going to be like yeah we're gonna win can we also talk about quickly because i just pumped his tires and he deserves it the austin matthews uh unwillingness to shoot the puck this is my next tonight was crazy and he had that ben simmons moment okay part of my take posted that it was so fun everyone did yeah he got the right in the slot and yeah pmt was like hi sorry but this is literally ben simmons i don't remember it oh i did that bad live i was so open i screamed man red was sitting next to me he goes oh my god like what the fuck was that backdoor you know what it is and this is look at that's how i play this is this is sharp action by me clearly and oh this is gonna sound like such bullshit because just said it too um binner is a is a very aggressive goaltender when he yeah yeah and if you if you watch any of these games if you watch any blues games you can see it binner comes out uh-huh he gets big he front shots clearly the u.s team sees that and has been taking notes on that checking what checking and watching the game notes because they were going for the backdoor pass all fucking all day they were just trying to get dinner to come out get you know front the puck and then leave the back door open because they were looking for that extra pass all day and on that one austin i'm like buddy let it rip so and dude you said it best you said it live to us it's not just that it's wide open it's that you're austin matthews like you got a pretty good shot on anybody else i'm like well you know he tried to get it tried to get it done 69 you are a 69 goal scorer in the fucking national give me that fucking curl and drag jay shot baby like give me a little jay shot for the boys that was insane um not getting one dagger mathers needs to shoot more then we go to the second period go to break i feel like okay i feel weirdly fine yeah um and they come out with uh mckinnon's entering marner and stone and i was like interesting to go away from them and they kind of ended up just putting them back out there but it was interesting to see them like oh let's mix it up now yeah but boy did it work the second period fuck my note here is the u.s just got fucking massacred for the first six minutes of the second period it was it was truly a beat down and it was like i was like dude we are in trouble here like it is insane how efficient that line and this is coop man ready this guy is the best fucking coach i've ever seen to break up the micmac line which has been the best line in all in the entire tournament to spread those boys out and then the way that it just kept the u.s hemmed in we felt it felt like the finland game it felt like the czechie game i i we put that on twitter i was like this is this is brutal because this is exactly how finland lost yep you're just getting hemmed in for 30 seconds then you get the puck and you think you're you have any gas it's like what randon said you think you have any gas to try to get on offense no that's why you just kept seeing them spooning the puck out like these little flips out to center ice just to get a line change and it just felt all period it was like this is a fucking joke dude you are slowly dying way later in my notes here and someone in the comments i don't know if i can find it was like i gotta see chris's notes app you do not want to you don't want to live there serial killer you don't want to live in that notes app at all but later in this i had um u.s looks like finland just flipping it out every chance we get ran and you have no energy for off that was my lowest the end the second period even before the goal was my lowest moment where i was like yeah with this is a fucking joke taking a quick break you talk to you about our sponsors from bet mgm i hope you all enjoyed that epic

but it was like chances to get the puck out or start a rush and it would just be like they'd look up in a puck it happened both ways but pucks were just like bouncing over sticks and then it would turn around and now it's a fucking nightmare the other way it was really ugly both teams too drunk they looked fucking drunk um during that chaos uh tase had a brady could chuck that level turnover on brock's tape yeah he sure did slot and binner made that nice toe save brock delayed shot back across his body just wanted to shout out binner there because those are the moments where i'm like that's a massive save six eight it's also uh i think it's one of the sexiest saves in hockey because he did that like his leg swung out in the butterfly and it like booted the yeah yeah it looks like a pinball yeah hey that's exactly what it looks like nice then uh in this onslaught um mcdavid breakaway mcdavid of all people mcdavid sprung on a breakaway whole crowds on their feet everybody going fucking nuts someone he tried to hold it almost too long yeah he might have but i also want to give a shout out i believe it was faber someone someone in the chat check me on that if it wasn't that was a phenomenal back check just to even put pressure on him down the fastest man to make him feel it yep and what just fucking connor hellebuck man the way he just stood tall unbelievable oh my god so nothing too he got too close and he didn't barely got anything off he really barely got a shot off you're absolutely right uh that's completely correct red because i was waiting for him to come almost like reach back around something and just kind of like ran out of real estate but that's a huge moment um then right after that and we are not chirping anybody tonight because everyone played the games of their fucking lives but jake gensel with the craziest just fall down i've ever seen and then get back up and then hold the guy i was like dude there's a true mel why why that was a truth that was a true that was a true shit your pants moment i was like jake no i was like when he fell i was like oh jesus jake and then he held the guy and i was like jake jake stop i remember thinking we can't take any penalties tonight we just can't and i was like how do you even take a penalty because just don't do it and then that happened and i was like that's how you panicked panic sets in you're drowning so i'm thinking to myself just make sure we get this kill penalty kill has been amazing uh boom mcavoy immediate hold on kale which i thought was a hold i know you thought was soft but i was with red because because charlie stick up it's it's oh did it yeah in the replay if you watch he doesn't trip him but his stick is literally like this and you read you said it was a hold and they called it i thought it was a hook i thought it was i thought his arm was around him like he was taking him to prom because it was because it was stick was between legs it was getting stuck it was just a mess it was a mess and like it was i just i can't believe you call it i always hate those one-armed calls because i i'm always like there's just like it's not that much of all but it was a penalty honestly he i think if he had his stick was stuck which is why his arm was so there honestly i think if charlie had gone like this he could have moved and they would have been like you're good but that would have been the one billionth stick that was dropped tonight i have never seen more fucking sticks on the ice shout out sully i don't know he's in here i've never seen more sticks on the ice in a fucking game in my life yeah so fucking stressful but now we go five on three for damn near two minutes against canada yeah and we said out loud in the moment you pray they only score one time here pray literally it was so it was such an early five on three and i was just like you're fucking kidding me and it did feel like they were gonna get two goals and then boom you take care of business and you kill that penalty and what this is what's the craziest thing i you kill a five on three against this fucking canada team i thought that the momentum after that was going to be so visceral it was going to be shooting out of your cock and i thought they were going to score immediately and then literally all that happened was canada kept throat fucking them for the next 10 minutes and i was like dude holy shit man like this is you were getting ragdolled by this team it legit bro i thought too you thought we were jacking off last night I thought the jack off session the bukkake that was about to be coming from the USA And then instead the gangbang continued in the other direction There was literally zero. We were just watching the big short. Zero. Zero momentum swing from that kill. Less than zero. Here we go. Come on, boys. And it was like, no. It felt like Canada was still on the power play. Correct. Like literally we killed it off and they were just like, anyway, we will continue to pass it around. It was madness. It was a fucking nightmare. And then I would say a very – if you're a US fan, a very stressful 10 to 3 minutes left in the second where it just was inevitable. A goal was about to come. Yeah. Every fucking loose shot that was – like Helly couldn't see shit. And dude, we're going to get to Helly obviously. But he's fucking picking pucks out of the trees. But you just knew one of them was going to go. One of them was going to sneak through. and then fucking kale mccarr walks down not quite no no but just a good swing up to the point good step in and just such a sick shot i love i love a low shot obviously everyone loves bar down but that shot that's just high enough to get over the pad and just low enough to sneak under the block it's just a beautiful fucking shot you know exactly what you're doing exactly like that that is that is a fucking all-star shot and it was also nice because i've been waiting for kale to show up yeah i really have been waiting in this tournament you threw that penalty too yeah i've been waiting for kale to have his like you are kale moment and that was it i said it on the video that you'll see i was like there's kale you know there he is fucking shows up and i really like i said this to you i think or somebody after i really like um these these tournaments stanley cup finals things like that are such legacy things these players where people fairly or unfairly judge you big time austin matthews jack he was took a lot of heat for four nations i love i love i love an unsung hero story but i actually like more when guys like kale and mac and nate and connor and sid even before he got hurt sure back on the tournaments and go i played great yep i hate when mega stars go i really fucking i fumbled the bag in the tournament i'm like no dude kale was money that goal goes in it's probably two minutes ish left that was bad we were like we're we're fucked like we're absolutely fucked can't hell he's playing so well but it just felt like this here comes the onslaught i thought i i thought there was a high chance that canada was going to take the lead in in the second period but you know it was on whatever it was that last two minutes was a total u.s flurry whether the goal yeah to snap them out of this like flip it out flip it out um matthew kachuk had a huge chance and god i he played so great but i feel i just thought he should have had one tonight there were so many right there i know um but matthew kachuk huge chance and then favor i thought it rang both posts but it actually hit someone's head then post felt like a double doink but it was a double doink but just not a double yeah yeah it was it was a dud doink yeah dud doink a clunk clunk doink uh that one actually dud doink is way better thank you that one to me and i'm being over over reactionary right now but that one to me made me sick to my stomach because it just felt like if that had gone we we were going to win because i was going to be like see it's fine like we got the lead back and like that was a freebie but we got it and when that didn't go i was like oh no i i never score again i actually think if that had gone i actually think this game might have like i don't want to say blown open but it might have been like all of a sudden we had some more goals in the third yeah the fact that it stayed 1-1 i was like this is electric yes oh my god okay so fucking brutal ending second period we're intermission we're miserable um tweaking we fucking sprinted outside the rink to pee yeah because we were like we gotta pee the lines are insane there's like porta potties outside we fucking sprint outside people are usa fans outside were actually pretty confident which i thought was fucking delusional but i was like yeah okay here we go but it was it was it was drunk confidence though that's what we needed that's and i i'm over here fucking the little coward bitch that i am being like we're dead like we're there they're all over us they're fucking too much they're bigger they're faster they have more facial hair that's genuinely how i felt but that's what it takes your superstitions are what it takes and my superstitions helped us win so we come back into the third and you go first five because we can't play we can't play scared you cannot play scared you gotta try to go score i i i'm telling you i was talking to people to shout out aaron ambrose our homie i was talking to her and i was like usa feels dead this is like this is this has been an onslaught and i said i was like the first five minutes are going to tell us everything and it wasn't as bad yeah but it was still the the shots were just terrifying and i was like we've got to get some story it's the czech game it's the finland game like they are fucking murdering we've got to get something and i want to jump ahead in your notes but it really it felt like there was nothing going in that period of penalties uh disagree because you mean in the third period yeah yeah because you're gonna remember this connor hellbuck with the save oh fucking hey guys everyone forget what i just said rewind there's actually a couple things that you forgot about so i'm gonna i'll take you through but connor hellbuck with the same that paddle save on devontes i think a lot of people immediately they were like devon taves you clown you whiffed it you you biffed it whatever chris get me one of those and you see the replay and you've yeah that's pretty cheeky that's a classic uh it's an uber pack is what they call it um a lot of people were calling out devon taves and then you've seen the photo now that puck gets behind helly it's sitting right there in the crease devon taves comes in to just try to pool cue it in and helly throws down that fucking paddle and you'll hear when you listen to this episode back with osh that was the brayden holpe safe and the caps cup cup here like that is that is one of the all-time saves you will ever see in your entire fucking life and it absolutely saved the u.s as he did multiple times multiple times that was just truly put that save on a fucking postage stamp put it on a weenies put it on a weenies box tattoo it to my fucking forehead that was absolutely incredible and actually there's i'm gonna to interrupt you there are a couple of heartbreaking canada u.s photos that have come from both the men's and women's game great great point dan great point dan and um i will say this too uh taze i feel bad for taze because it's like he was kind of there on the bold eagle and he's gonna have that memory and i just don't think it was his fault like in that play it's hard to describe but what happened is the puck squirts right to him and he just shoots it in the open that and he reacts immediately he doesn't hesitate it's just a crazy play it's just a crazy play that happened to hit fucking hellebuck's paddle and like all hell breaks loose people remember it forever but i've not much more he can do there no but it was insane and not that he needed any confidence but man hellebuck after that must have been like oh dude i don't even know i will never be scored i think he was genuinely so fucking he was patrick bateman brain yeah and if anyone can say that it's me i don't even think he was like jacked up he was he was kind of like hyping the crowd up when he got his gold medal but i think during the game he was just he was serial killer yeah yeah yeah totally unbelievable totally all the pucks that were bouncing around though like in the crease all fucking game how many over dude he went full seven eight like hellbuck might just be like this is going great pretty great for me i'm having a Good time. How is this knock on India? Not a care in the world. He went full Jimmy Craig in that game. It was insane. He was all – the first period he was – he had the – it felt like he had the x-ray vision. Shots were coming through screens and he was just going like this. Seeing everything. And then he had that one in the second. Remember that? It was after the kale goal. Full split glove save when he was like falling backwards. Oh, yeah. That was sick. I was just like, oh, my God. Yep. Someone in the chat called McDavid McSilver. And listen. We will have none of that. All right. I want to get ahead of this right now before you jump to the next bullet point, JP. we're going to get ahead of this right now USA fans peacock all you want, dance all you want enjoy this moment, celebrate this moment this is what hockey is all about, this is what sports are all about this is what patriotism is all about, it's fucking amazing America is the shit it's an amazing country, we're pumped to be American we're pumped to have a gold medal we're pumped for these boys representing USA and winning a gold medal but we love Canada and we love these boys and they played a fucking great game it was an incredible hockey game and again, celebrate all you want but do it in good fun because those neighbors to the north are exactly that. They're our neighbors, they're our brothers and our sisters, and we fucking love them, and they played an amazing game. They fought an amazing battle. And I will not sit here and hear a single morsel of talk about Connor McDavid can't show up in the big game. We've seen a couple tweets, a couple things people have said. It's like, oh, Stanley Cup, Game 7, and then this past year, Game 6, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm tired of it. I don't care about it. He's the greatest player on earth. He constantly shows up. in a loss olympics mvp in a loss like game winning overtime goal in four nations he constantly knows how to show up and he's the best player alive we will not even you will not even hear a whisper of any of the clickbait bullshit of ken connor mcdavid not get the job done you also forget how fucking he's we're done dude also also laura as in our hat laura just said this which i forgot about uh we can never play in the olympics without a member of brock nelson's family ever again i forgot that brock has now completed the literal like 60 80 26 only nelson legitimately correct i i also uh this is going to be one of two alice shout outs today uh because we're going to get to one later but alice in the beginning of the game was like i don't know if i love the jersey situation but i was like we wore white yep against the soviets and the soviets were red so i loved that canada was in red and we were in white today um okay same uh all right second thing before the penalties um uh macklin breakaway uh mac got sprung i thought he shot it a bit early than he needed to maybe he wanted that shot um because i think he was i don't know who was chasing him but i thought he had a step um but i think he felt the footsteps not in a bad way i think he was like i gotta get a shot up god this is such an in the weeds thing but it's like if you are i welcome everyone to go watch uh zuccarello's penalty shots if you see a goalie without uh with his plant foot not like dug in you can kind of beat him under the pad right here because they can't just get down in time yeah and max shot like he's just shot it right there and he just like slammed the door and he almost got the rebound but that's you've now survived the mcdavid and celebrini the two leading point scorer break insane fucking nuts and then i'm gonna have to watch the replay because i don't even know how this turnover happened because it was like a loose pop queen he was kicked it to himself and then somehow didn't have it didn't have it and then he it goes back door to nathan mckinnon with a literal gaping net this is the other one that gaping gaping that this is the other one that kills me because i know nate is going to be seeing that shot in his nightmares for the next four years and i hate that because nate has played in incredibly well obviously he had the power play goal against finland to seal the win there Nate has no no one to answer to but he that one will haunt him and but I said yeah it was a weird I thought this was good it was a weird play there it was like the U.S. seemed like they had it for a second it was like a turnover but then it went back to Canada and then the pass got thrown across I think Nate was straight up getting ready to back check like he wasn't ready for it yes it came to him and it almost surprised him he's just like fuck get the shot off and it hit the post like it was like outside of the post and and and out like it was I thought it missed my lot no no there's a screenshot it's actually devastating but there's a screenshot it's just like fuck me but man and and i said to you guys i'm legitimately worried about nate because he takes the shit in the good way so seriously oh he's about to i'm sure yeah so yeah good point so i'm sure he's fucking because he has a gold medal winner brock nelson on his team yes dude that's actually gonna be so funny brock showing up to kale and nate like yo i hope he wears that gold um okay uh then remember this play there was that weird matthews near too many men where it's like he flipped it near the boards and everyone lost their shit but then the u.s bench got so confused that we had three guys it was insane and then that was the one where marshy it was like marshy and tom wilson were like doorstep and somehow like hellebuck saved the wilson first one in the second one like i think a defenseman maybe blocked it but that was another one like you were talking about red where it was just chaos in the crease this has to go in and just somehow didn't absolutely nuts then sam bennett high stick 634 left okay so let's get into the penalties number one doesn't like high staking penalties i hate i hate high sticking penalties i think i think they're sold too much but red is right at the end of the day a high stick is a high stick and uh that is correct sometimes i think they're just like sticks that get up high that i'm like that wasn't really a high stick but it's a high stick that was an obvious penalty look at jack Hughes's face. US gets four minutes and then 634 left. Yep. In a fucking. And I swear to God, this is not retroactive because US still won in that moment. I did not celebrate because it goes against all of my beliefs and everything that I've said. I don't like when these games get determined by a specialty. We said it. We said it all the same time. And by the way, I would have said it if it was a complete stranger. Exactly. But I love Sam Bennett. Yeah. And I was like, I don't want to live in a world where he has to know. Same thing I said about Mikula. Yeah. Yeah. It's not even the fact that it's anyone in the box and I feel bad for them. It's just I want you to win five on five. I want you to win by being the best even hockey team. So Canada gets a double minor, U.S. with a four-minute power play, and then proceeded to shit in their diaper like nothing I've ever seen. Dude, it was so crazy. There was one flurry where they had a decent chance. Well, Matthew. It was Matthew Kachuk, not Matthews. Again, where I swear he could have just found it. It was an open fucking net. They had one little flurry, but other than that, it was pretty sloppy. that couldn't really get in the zone and jack use the man who just got his fucking jibs knocked out crack someone in the face and he takes a high sticking pound dude well we were laughing first where we go we were all sitting there when the penalty because jack was down for a while yeah and we go i'm not saying he did this but i would be biting my lip if i was laying there and then he gets up and he's fucking mangled yeah we're like oh okay never mind red red ghost don't think you can fake that he's snapping his down the ice punching himself everyone's got everyone's got pliers in their pants there is nothing gnarlier and it's it's happened to me so i know the feeling there's nothing gnarlier than when you get a stick or a puck and then the teeth break oh like when they get knocked out clean fine but like his one of his front jibs is like snapped dude and i i it got i chipped my hair i promise you those mini coronas in the locker room were stinging i was gonna say the nerves it exposes these nerves in your teeth and it's like a fucking nightmare he must have been in hell so anyway yes everything said is correct fucking brutal brutal power play with the gold medal on the line and i'm glad that we didn't score i didn't want to win that way but fucking get your shit together then think about the power play canada had against finland yeah even if they didn't score on that one they were snapping it for two minutes so then canada has about minute 20 of their power play gets killed off and that's a great point to talk about yes that the u.s team went 18 for 18 on the pk and i almost yeah no you know it's 18 i don't know if it was 18 on the pk in this fucking tournament and i want to say this on twitter we said before the game hope the refs swallow the whistles tonight no no no power plays let's just play a clean game yep most people were like fuck yeah agree and some people were like no if it's a penalty call a penalty blah blah blah and one canadian fan said i would feel that way too if the other team had a 43 power play and i wanted to go have you seen us's penalty what if one team has a 100 but i just felt like that was playing with fire to say that yep and i'm so glad i didn't because the US then killed every penalty. But so did Canada. Yep. And I am just so fucking happy that we can all look back at this game and see that neither team capitalized on those power plays and this game was won straight up. I was so happy because they were completely unintentional high six as they always are And it was I didn want yeah not always but most of the time And I didn want either of those guys in the box I didn want overtime at all but I said to you both good Clean slate Let's just fucking decide this. Fair. Fair. Sure. You know, three, you know, whatever. But fair is fair. That was a massive kill. And go back and watch the – it must have been after the semis pod. When I was like, all right, we're doing finals predictions. the last thing i said was keys to the game will be the u.s perfect pk against the canadian power plan i even looked at you right and said if the u.s doesn't give a power play goal i think there's a chance we could win if we give up power play goals we will lose yeah you know easy to say now that i was right but i was fucking right yeah you were okay so we uh finished regulation at this point connor helenbach is already jimmy craig he's already jimmy craig he had already made 40 saves and that. Yep. Two observations going into OT because I couldn't even fucking type. I have no notes in overtime. Two observations. One, I find it weird that Canada against Czechs, Finland, and US dominated for large portions of those games and all three of them were absolute barn burners. It's just kind of weird. Maybe it's just because every team is good at this level. There's part of me, because I want to give a shout out to Dostal. Yep, yep. Part of me is like... did they run into three fucking nuclear goaltenders because saros was great in that finland yep and obviously hellebuck was the player of the game tonight but i agree it was weird how are you not winning and and while they had 40 plus shots watching the game other than like the crazy missed nets i didn't feel like that many of the shots were like jesus christ he's standing on it Obviously, he stood on his head. Connor Breakaway and Mac Breakaway and Nate Openett. Yeah. What the fuck am I talking about? There was like at least 10. I'm like, that's enough. Like, that's 10 goals. So, yeah. Yeah. Fuck, man. I mean, he was just that was that was the best goaltending performance I have ever seen in my entire life. I think certainly without question live. I think some of those Jaguars. No, no. That was the best goal. I am telling you, that is the best goaltending performance you have ever witnessed in your entire life. even whether either even on tv i gotta go back to the tape i gotta go back to the tape but that was incredible dude that was incredible okay we'll get to him um and then the other one you said this but i agree with you take fucking notes why are we flipping the ice in overtime in the nhl yeah it's so dumb like just play i don't need the long change in overtime thank you ioc there's some things you do that i think are weird this is one that i'm like correct just fucking go dude it's so fucking moronic right so we go again i have no notes absolute edge of our i think it was only a minute 40 i looked at you guys and i said enjoy the last six minutes maximum of olympic because this will be over very soon canada didn't really have any chances david had a seam twice yep yeah but broken up quickly yeah so like wasn't a chance but good call him skating yeah it is scary like i've actually never seen anything more scary it is David going Gallup, Gallup, Gallup. Mack had one good shot in OT, just like a curl and drag high slot. He had a good save. Or maybe he missed the net. He missed the net. Maybe he wired it. So we get the one play. And here's my second Alice shout out. Before overtime, she sends a text and goes, Jack Hughes is going to score the game-win goal. You know what's crazy? Two OTs for the U.S. Quinn Hughes, Jack Hughes. And before the Quinn Hughes one, I said, I have the text from Sandra that goes, Quinn Hughes is going to score an OT. And then in this one, it was your girlfriend who said the other one. That's fucking electric. Well done, ladies. Gas. that play i think people need to rewind and watch yep jack hughes continues to just make me look like a fucking big brain oh man because boy oh boy did did my did my man fucking show up in this tournament and today no one other than hellebuck was really shining that bright everyone was playing great tight dylan marken though fucking dylan luck jesus christ he was savage but jack hughes was going for it he was yeah he was taking chances tonight he was getting in the dirty areas the mucky areas tonight on that goal jack hughes makes a very risky poke check against kale mccarr because i was screaming if that doesn't get out we lose if you look at the freeze frame of that god damn it if jack hughes does not get that puck poked out to zach wierenski that is a two on oh going the other way for camp yeah so he does that it gets to wierenski and then wierenski like a fucking beast with with johnny gaudreau's spirit on his shoulders gets that puck pulls up on the brakes and then finds jack the last man trailer and puts it on a stick and the dude there was a moment where everyone in that arena went like this yep yep there was a there was a true millisecond of silence in that arena and i know that because when it went in there was no reaction for a quick second because it went in weird it was like kind of five holes it was like yeah it was like five hole under his leg felt like a change-up shot almost but he waited for binner to make a move and then he slid it and i dude we're up in the stands and i just went jack yeah and then i was silent i couldn't speak well dude so i had such a same reaction because when he swung at it and someone says here um i'm playing my car he was trying to win the game too correct because if he keep oh no oh my gosh please no one think that i'm saying anything about my car there that was yeah i was actually mad at jack for the the fucking swordsman yeah it's because i was like bro just go body on body there because then the worst case scenario we're fine yeah so he goes like this and i was like no and then it got by him and i was like oh go go go but then it looked like warenski wasn't quite gonna get there and i was like no damn it was like reaching for it what are you doing get the fucking buck and then he did get it curled it but it looked like there were no lanes left but he's zach roensky there's always a fucking lane if you're zach roensky true hits jack but jack almost smartly also wasn't net driving because then we would have been too exposed so i was like oh jack's too far but then he was like kind of cruising in i was like wait fucking score yeah and then from our view it just i couldn't i was kind of looking high glove because i was like just look for the net look for the net but then it went fiver and i was like i looked i didn't even celebrate properly because i was like did that go yeah what the fuck happened and he kind of doesn't see it like he shoots and he's doing the like look over your shoulder thing to like that go in and dude i wonder i really want to watch that replay i know this is like the golden goal all-time fucking moment i remember this his whole life i need to know if he was shooting there or if or if it came off weird the replay looks the replay the puck's kind of like i think it looks weird because i think he's i think he was waiting for bitter yeah like i don't think he put all of himself behind it because he was like make a move better like he's got it on a stick for a minute yes he does like he was like you make a move he waited for been at a front like you know show his show his angle and then he i think he just like yeah i went to school on dinner getting so big honestly dude like that's oh fuck man uh we we've got a little over five minutes left here but um the few things i want to say jack hughes scoring that goal when i see jack i can't wait to ask him if he meant to throw his helmet in the stands dude that was because he pulled it off and he windmilled his helmet and i was like this is gonna be so sick when he tosses the bucket in the stands and then it just went straight backwards yeah and i was like i think it got caught on the finger i literally i saw him going like this and i was like what a souvenir this is about to be and he goes but still all time selling last minute he was like i want i want this yeah still all time selly fucking epic moment watching him and quinter get their moment together like both with with american flags on their shoulders hugging yep brady and matthew doing the same thing i look a lot of these boys like uh wrensky and larks grabbing johnny's kids okay now start going next there was just like watching the boys skate around with johnny's jersey was so fucking special what yeah chills chills the the words that they were saying after about you know his spirit being in there in the locker with them getting them that win i think lark said something like johnny johnny spirit was keeping all of the pucks out of the net around heli which is funny because it's uh that's in the defensive zone and he would never be back there yes correct but it's just like the love that the gaudreau family has has showed all these boys and the the u.s hockey program and and and vice versa is just so amazing to see that was just so fucking fun dude absolutely um emotions pouring out of me moment uh i didn't know i was crying yeah crying just seeing the goudreau stuff um seeing just the boys draping american flags on their back and cruising around seeing on a personal level like seeing brady and matthew jack and Quinn going up to their parents and you know like touching glass waving him Charlie McAvoy I have an incredible video of him with his family I have an incredible video of Sway uh with Ken Bone and Allie and like Sway's like touching the you know touching the baby like it's just it means so the baby the soon-to-be baby oh I was like you know doing the doing the like yeah doing the basketball pop um just even this means so much and you know you always say everything yeah we'll So if you watch the episode back as we post this live, again, Osh joins us and is in there. And we talked about this. Before the game, the three of us here, me, CP, and Red, we're talking about how if you go down Canada's roster, more than half those guys have won a Stanley Cup. Yep. Yep. Three guys on the U.S., Matthew Kachuk, Jake Gensel, and Jack Eichel have won Stanley Cups. This is a Stanley Cup. Winning a gold medal, the NHL players in the tournament against Canada, against this Canada team, that is a Stanley Cup. they'll tell you it's it's better it's bigger yeah 100 and this is a monumental moment for these players for these guys the the motherfuck that this is again i'm kind of repeating myself here but the motherfuck that this is for a guy like conor hellbuck who listens to all this flack a guy like austin matthews a guy like jack hughes who heard all the criticism this is a massive moment of these guys now coming into the biggest game of their life on the biggest stage against the best competition and winning this is going to translate into the nhl correct in a big way yes it's such a good moment to and even like the i think for addition to this too but just this season let alone your whole career but just like this season coming back being like yo i'm fucking ready to correct man yep this is like this it's it's so fucking awesome what this moment and and knowing what this was and what it took does for players and that will go into their teams it will go into the way they prepare and the way they approach big games like this knowing that they've done it the Leafs might win 10 straight Stanley Cups I'm telling you this is a big fucking deal I was really happy for Austin Matthews he did a couple flag tours he was happy crazy going crazy forming the crowd and that pumped me up he and Jack Hughes Jack Hughes is amazing interview if you haven't seen it go check our twitter page or tjo she's page we both posted this the interview with jack hughesburg he's just so selfless he's talking about everyone else yeah but the big thing was jack and austin are very similar in that they're they're they're very cheeky in their interviews they're they're funny they don't show too much emotion they they were both just so happy child like yes to this and if that's not what it's all about i don't know what yeah agree bro um i i can't wait to talk to them and just hear about the experience in locker room and everything because it's like this is um this hasn't happened in in fucking 46 this is not like we feel that we're getting close to level because i do want to give we had talked about i won't give candace and flowers where i'm like oh there was a stretch in that game where i was like we are not level they are fucking murdering they're amazing but there's this doesn't happen often even though we think we're just as good now this is a very unique thing that you just want a fucking gold i'll say it again we were one more olympics away from being a half century from winning a gold medal in the men's this is fucking awesome now we've got about two minutes left i want you to say whatever you got next but i do just i want to just give another quick tire pump to the canadian boys i mean they're they're one of the best teams i've ever seen in my entire life they played so fucking well they made it as hard as humanly possible for this usa team and any canada fan if you're looking at your wounds right now you got nothing to feel but pride for that for that group and the way they played that was fucking um i feel for sid nate or excuse me i feel for connor nate mac because i'm like you guys are superstars i really feel for sid drew and marshy um i thought all of them played incredible i'm so gutted yeah true this is probably going to be betters last i'm so gutted for sid seeing him out on the i spent most of my time in the celebration filming sid coming out there because I was just like, God. And honestly, like weird legacy game for him where he's like, I bet it goes differently if he's on the ice. Yeah. I bet it goes differently if he's on the ice. Hard to say it doesn't. So just such a killer for him. I fucking crossing every finger in tow that he's still in the fucking league and comes back for one more Olympics. Absolute legend. Kind of crazy Finland didn't come. Like we were at the women's gold in Switzerland. I bet they bounced. I was like, where is Finland? They put the carpet out for them. here's the third place they're like not playing in two days i bet a ton of them are just gone i was like that was crazy um but yeah a very emotional metal moment for everybody you could see on max face like just devastated it was actually a little rattling um not many of them were crying they just looked so pissed off oh yeah so dejected and that's just heartbreaking i think it was disbelief dude yes i had no idea like i genuinely think that they're going are you fucking kidding me we lost perfect word red perfect word because they know how good they are dude they know they're the best team in this tournament we were walking back and i said we were walking back and i said out loud if i were on that canada team i would be going are you fucking kidding me that's what i'm saying they right now are going that was one in a hundred that they that they won that game yes yeah no it actually felt like that there was a long stretcher i was like this is insane and and the chant we said all the chances start adding up then it starts feeling like yeah actually our boy jake said i was talking in between periods and he goes i was like i don't feel good in between the second intermission and he goes dude sometimes you just see god and like hellebuck that might be happening right now we see performances that are touched that are touched by the gods and that connor hellebuck performance was and that was insane and and oh oh i do want to say this too i said it with osha i guess but all the boys going um when they were doing the medals and they you know they say everyone's name and they get to hellebuck every dude on the usa team when hellebuck's name got called they were like oh this guy yeah because i mean and dude i haven't seen him that far that you said this but i haven't he was doing like selfies he was going the crowd it's amazing that was awesome all right closing thoughts we gotta wrap up here closing thoughts man what a fucking tournament other than the usa slovakia game go back into the quarterfinals and on what else can you ask for we've been clamoring for nhl players in best on best olympics we got nail biters golden goals ot's uh you know some upsets some near upsets we got a shoot a penalty shot.

Like, that was fucking insane. And I've seen a save like that change that was how we became Santa Cup champions. You've prayed and Holtby. The exact same, like, almost the same. Yeah, buddy. Holtz is, like, out of midair, but dude, like, Connor Hellebuck, for, like, all the grief he's been getting, like, MVP last year, and now, like, everyone's talking about Batington, rightfully so, like, absolute gamer. Like, some of the saves he was making, absolute gamer. But now Hellebuck, like, he almost, like, showed up like I'm the guy. And he's not cocky like that. But, like, I'm so happy for him. I did yesterday. I was on with Lindsey and Ace at NBC. And they're like, what are your keys to the game? Ace's key to the game was penalty kill. I don't think they scored a power play goal today, right? So they went 100% for the whole tournament on the penalty kill. 100%. How fucked is that? That's like, I think, how many penalties were there? Three or four? That means they were 14 for 14 going into the game. So 18 for 18 or something. That's unbelievable. That has a lot to do with your goalie, but the players do. And my point was the goalies. I was like, it's going to come down to the goalies. It's going to be a tight game. All these games that they play each other are one goal games or OT games. And I just pointed out, like, Binnington, he is like a gamer. He adjusts his style of play Based on the danger around him If there's danger, he'll stay back So he can recover, if there's not, he's aggressive Hellebuck, not like that, he's consistent That's like his superpower He's a blocker, he's big He stays in his net, he's very Technical, and I mentioned I was like, with the type of D The US have right now, I think the best D Core in the whole Olympics He can play that way, because they can Help around the net, man, I'm so happy for him sorry that was long-winded i'm jacked up like i'm on cloud nine no dude i'm i'm i'm absolutely fucking juiced dude so i feel you and and i you're so right about hellebuck i i feel like this this win for the u.s boys is so validating and it's such a motherfuck to so many people for so many guys hellebuck being one of them jack hughes being another the people being like oh he was so bad in four nations and all tournament he's been unbelievable then he goes and gets the golden goal the two golden goals for the u.s were both hughes brothers fucking insane austin matthews a guy who everyone is like oh he can't get the big win he can't lock in he was playing fucking selkie winning defense in that game all fucking game for 60 plus minutes it was just i mean that that was obviously a massive victory for usa and for usa hockey but that was such a huge victory for so many of those players and you just love to see it it's unbelievable absolutely yeah well even like you can go down the line dylan larkin was one of the best players for us in the tournament i think he's played five games he's played totally five playoff games in his career so like wow like such a good point dude like caged lion right a caged lion yep so like he's he's been wanting to play for this and i spoke to him when he was in minnesota after the game uh probably a little under a month ago three weeks ago maybe and like you could just see like he was like just so fired up to be on this team to like be able to represent america like i'm so happy for these guys and like i i sent them a bunch of the the old olympians americans sent them letters that they kind of hung on the wall in the locker room and um they asked me for one probably about six days ago five six days ago maybe and i wrote one and i said a bunch of stuff you know inspirational whatever that we support them and one of the things i said was i'm so excited for the like that this could be a new era in usa hockey and i'm so excited that they get to embrace that challenge and they've embraced the living hell out of it man it's just like i can't stop thinking about the fact that it's we're about to hit half a fucking century half a century without the US men winning gold so this you can say all you want about I'm not saying it's a passing of the torch Canada is still obviously incredible those boys played so so well that team's a wagon but this is more just the this is just as good of a program it's just as good of a nation at hockey we can play with those guys and to be able to finish the job and get that win. Good Lord, Connor fucking Hellebuck. Put a goddamn statue of this motherfucker in Milan. I mean, that was one of the most insane performances. That was full Jim Craig. That was full Jimmy Craig shit right there. And you're right. Just like guys like Larkson, guys like Vinny Trotec and JT Miller who are getting dogged on a ton, who just go out and play fucking defensive specialist hockey. And it was crazy. In the second period, it was like, oh my God, this looks like the Finland game. the Czechia game, Canada's just ramming it down their throat, but it was almost like the boys were ready for that. They were like, yeah, listen, like we might get ragdolled here for a bit, but we can just survive. And shit, did they do it? That was unbelievable. It really, just like what a, you know, it was kind of like, it's, it was similar to the games, like even in 2014 social, we played them in the semis. It was a one nothing game. And so like, you just, yeah, we needed someone to step up in that moment and score a five on five goal like or a ot goal um and this team just has it but i think one thing that this i think this has been coming because unlike my era this era this era of american players they won they were winning u18 worlds they were winning world junior championships oh great call i so this has i think this has been coming they don't have i don't think they have maybe the i don't want to say fear but like they don't look at canada i don't think as my era looked at them because they've been beating them when they were younger we weren't i never beat canada one game even round robin my entire career ever not one time wow that's and so nuts and these guys but these guys did they have been beating them since they were 18 and so i think i think it's i think they went into this like with a completely different mindset than, than we would have in Sochi. Um, I know 2010, obviously the, you know, one goal away from being right there, but still we didn't get it done. These guys, these guys did. Yeah, dude. Oh, you, um, we have a car. I know you sent another letter recently with the inspirational stuff, but we have a copy of the one you sent to the boys with the care package with all the gear, the hat and everything. And we've been playing with the war road cards getting going in our, in our Airbnb all trip, all trip. Cause you were like, that's Those are some of my favorite memories. And you've said on a million times, but on our show too, about what the Olympic experience did for you as a player in your career and everything. What do you think this moment is going to mean to these guys moving forward and the way it'll shape their careers and the national spotlight they're going to get and all that stuff? I think in a lot of different ways. I think some of it they probably won't realize. It's going to be a whirlwind here for a little bit. It was for me until the next hockey season started, until the next season after 2014. Yeah, yeah. But they're going to get everything. They're going to get so many opportunities for partnerships. They're going to get so many people coming up to them, doing what people do for me even to this day, saying this is where I was when we watched you win the gold medal. This is what the bar looked like. These are the USA chants. These are the things that still give me goosebumps right now talking about it. these guys are going to have that for the rest of their lives people coming up to them for the next 30 40 years like who knows where usa hockey is at that point but everyone's going to remember this one they'll remember where they were who they were with how drunk they were or how if they were with their kids or like me i was at my kids hockey game like watching in the lobby with all the you know i'm in i'm probably going to be in one of those videos cheering you know just like yeah fans were in 2014 for me so it's going to change their lives but i think also there's a lot of americans on this team that haven't won a stanley cup canada has 20 plus stanley cups on that roster u.s doesn't so these kids now can take this experience to the playoffs to their teams now they're a champion they're a champion they know what it takes they know what it's like to play for the guy next to him to go further than they thought they could and so i'm so excited for these guys i'm getting so jacked up right now but uh dude you just fired me up so much holy shit i'm I'm pissed because I'm like, oh, this is why you have to join the fucking show because you just took the words out of my mouth. I was really right about to say before the game, I was looking at both rosters sitting here with Chris and Red, and I ran down Team Canada, and more than half that team has won a Stanley Cup. Three guys, Jack Eichel, Jake Gensel, and who is the one other one? And Chucky, obviously. Oh, Chucky, yeah. Those are the only guys who have won Stanley Cup. So, like, this is a Stanley Cup, dude. Winning an Olympic gold fucking medal against Canada. Against Canada. Stanley Cup. So like all of these guys, this new age, these like mid 20s superstars in the league for the USA, like they now have a massive, massive championship under their belt. And that is fucking huge.
