1 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm playing to us. We played three and a half 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: minutes and overtime. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: Well you shot the US overtime. 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: Let's how the good the United States? Oh that payloa 5 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: end up semis Let's play when it mattered most. 6 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: That's the kind of gritty, resilient win American's love. When 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: the game was slipping away late, went into overtime, Quinn Hughes, 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: he didn't shy away, he delivered and now he's a 9 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: national hero. 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was fascinating. Hockey's getting really interesting in the 11 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Olympics right now because we're out of the group round, 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: and so these are all do or die games. You 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: lose and you go home. You win and you get 14 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: to advance. And Canada. I was actually making fun of 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: the Canadian hockey team because before the US played, the 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: Canadian hockey team had to go to overtime to get 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: their win. And I was like, look at these guys, 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: they might not be very good this year. And then 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: I started puckering up. As I was watching the US 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: hockey team yesterday afternoon, I'm like, oh my gosh, Sweden's 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: taking us to overtime. We could get knocked out of 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: this right now and go home. Without any medal at all, 23 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: when we've been expecting, I mean, the whole world is 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: expected that the US and Canada will face off in 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: the gold medal game. Those are clearly the two best 26 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: teams in the world right now. But man, it was 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: neck and neck there in overtime and the US team 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: finally pulled out that win. 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: It's kind of the competitive all in mindset that really 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: defines successful teams. And also it's a reflection of not 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: only the United States hockey team, but the United States 32 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: as a whole. 33 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, our national pride is on the line in this. 34 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: And we love to hear the trend of the US 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: hockey team wherever they go, and they're doing this at 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: the Olympics that whenever the US hockey team scores a goal, 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: they play freebird in the stadium. And so that's been 38 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: so much fun, and there's just been so much build 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: up because now we've got NHL players playing. The last 40 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: couple of Olympics, the NHL players didn't participate, but they 41 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: are playing in these Olympics. So you've got the Kachuck 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: brother and all these great NHL players that we know already. 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: We don't have to learn who these people are. So 44 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: there's this massive interest in hockey, and the US got 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: to win. That was just the quarterfinals. We've still got 46 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: to so the semifinal game is coming up next and 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: then hopefully the US wins that and they'll be a 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the gold medal game. 49 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: Yep, so the US. They haven't won the Olympic men's 50 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: hockey gold since you know it. 51 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: Miracle on ice, Yeah, nineteen eight. Sweden almost had their 52 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: own miracle on ice against US. I mean, the Sweden 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: hockey team is pretty good. It's not an exact analogy 54 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: to the nineteen to eighty US men's hockey team, where 55 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: a bunch of amateurs playing the best team in the world, 56 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: but that's kind of what was going through my mind. 57 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: I was like, here, we're here where the you know, 58 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: kings of the hockey world. We should be crushing these 59 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: guys and going on in. Sweden took us to the 60 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: mat yesterday and into overtime and it was a nail 61 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: bier right down to the end. 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: You know, most people associate hockey with Canada and think 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: that that is their national sport. It's actually not. 64 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: Hockey, is it. 65 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: Wait? 66 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: Wait, do you know the national sport of Canada? 67 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. 68 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: Is it curling? The curly is huge in Canada. 69 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: It's not their national sport. 70 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: Is it Canadian football? 71 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: Nope? You got one more guests, and then I'll give 72 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: you the answer. 73 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Basketball. 74 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: It is lacrosse. 75 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: No way, it is lacrosse is the Canadian national sport. 76 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: I didn't you know they played lacrosse up there? Okay, yep, 77 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: fighting til the very end. 78 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 2: Don't give up. That was the message that we got 79 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 2: from the US men's hockey team. You're listening to ninety 80 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: three WIBC.
