00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: super busy, so I appreciate it. You know, you saw

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: Quinn Hughes score the o time overtime winner for the

27
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: men to advance the semi's defenseman Megan Keller, defense woman

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: for the United States women's team, she walked.

29
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: Her by the way.

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, two defenseman scoring, you got

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: to be pretty high, pretty proud of that, the fact

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: being a defenseman normally that doesn't happen. But who has

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: better hands back in the day, you or Megan Keller?

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Well she does right now, that's there. I mean I was.

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: I was more known for my direct passes around the

36
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: boards and my dumpings more than that.

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: She walked her defenseman. I was like, man, that was

38
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: a move.

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: Wow, what a thrill? Yeah. Well, you know that's a

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: game that will be remembered forever. And I mean, how

41
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: about the dramatic endings in this Olympic tournament. You know,

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the women's game going to overtime, the gold medal game,

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: and then the three or the four quarterfinal games. Of

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: the men's the other day three of them went into overtime. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: I know that.

46
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: The fact that the women, it has been unbelievably compelling

47
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: to watch the women and most of those games, and

48
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, they're what three hundred and eighty minutes something's

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: shut out, I mean insane, right, like sixteen periods of

50
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: shut out of hockey. They have a lot up until yesterday,

51
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: one goal, so two goals and outscore the other team

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: thirty three goals to two. It almost harkens back to

53
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: what you guys faced in the Dynasty of the Russians,

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: of course in nineteen eighty beating the Russian men's team

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: in the miracle ice game that you were in ken

56
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: And it feels like that same kind of dominance in

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: at least in this Olympics anyway.

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Well, yes, there's a great comparison there. You know, back

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty we didn't know it at the time,

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: but you know, we inspired a whole generation of young kids.

61
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: They came through in the nineties and turned into big stars.

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: You know, they won the nineteen ninety six World Cup

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: with players like Bill Gearn and Keith Kachuk and Mike

64
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Madonald and Chris Chellison right on down the line. And

65
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, we've got this newer generation

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: that they inspired, and we're watching these these stars and

67
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: superstars on Team USA play right now and then the

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: women's game. Yes, they're doing exactly what we did back

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty. There's a lot of young girls out

70
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: there that are going to start playing hockey because of

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: what they watched on TV. Yeah.

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it, can you and

73
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: your teammates in eighty are responsible before we are today

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: in the sense is that, you know, women's sports was

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: it was there, but it was not existent. Wasn't the

76
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: late nineties that women's sports started coming on its own?

77
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: And I will say the watching that game, it looked

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: like for the US women's team, there's like ten of

79
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: them out there the way they just dominated teams. And

80
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: that's all on your shoulders, I would say.

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and this was by far, you know that.

82
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we have the teams in in the late

83
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: nineties that want to gold medals there at the Olympics

84
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: with Tammy Grenado and they started it all. And now

85
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: we're seeing, you know, this, this newer generation of even

86
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: better players coming through now and the pool is a

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: lot deeper for the for the women's teams, and now

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing some of these other countries that are becoming

89
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: very competitive. So it's just as I said, it's exploding

90
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: right now.

91
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say too. I mean, at the end

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: of the day, you look at it, and certainly the

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: NHL is the you know, it's it's the dog of

94
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: North American I should say American sports. Anyways, Yeah, and

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: it's a long, uphill battle. A lot of reasons why

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Americans you know, don't lean in the game of hockey,

97
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: but it certainly has grown, and it's all because of

98
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: what happened in nineteen eighty and now we're you know,

99
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: we're celebrating women's hockey in addition to the men's team,

100
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: and it'll be how cool will it be? By the way,

101
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: if Canada can beat Finland here they're not doing so

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: well right now, but it's early. If they could win

103
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: and the US men advance, and now we have for

104
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: the men's gold medal, it's Canada USA two point zero.

105
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: I can't think of it more thrilling.

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: Anyhow, well, we got a taste of it with the

107
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Four Nations tournament.

108
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, right, the.

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Way it captured the country. And yeah, I mean we're

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: seeing the best players in the world on the biggest

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: stage in the world right now. And people have to

112
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: remember with Olympic Hockey, it's not like the basketball tournament,

113
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, where you have a couple of powers and

114
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: that's about it. In hockey, you've got six, seven, eight

115
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: countries that are powers in hockey, So the games don't

116
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: get any easier. I know, we like to pick favorites

117
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: in this country, but right now, I mean Canada is

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: in a fight. The US is going to be in

119
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: a fight later this afternoon.

120
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Canada's really fighting it out right. By the way,

121
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: bo Horva plays for Team Canada if they do indeed

122
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: face the Americans. Uh, were you aside on that? When

123
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: Cammy's an Islander, he's one of your guys? Yeah, how

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: does that work for you?

125
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: You can here for Yeah, I mean I care for

126
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: him to have some individual success, but yeah, it's USA

127
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: all the way for me.

128
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: Well, guys, just scout. I'm like, I don't know we

129
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: can root against him. That's a maybe. I don't know,

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go Mick Cronin on me there for

131
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: a second with your answer, I'm not sure.

132
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: But.

133
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: What do you what do you make a three?

134
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, he's having a terrific

135
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: us with the Islanders and he's become, you know, one

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: of our leaders there.

137
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: And right now with the with the with the Olympic break,

138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: you guys are holding still holding the playoff spot. So

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: and you know, if you if you enjoyed this and

140
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: you're new to hockey, watch NHL playoff or watch the

141
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: games down the stretch, but particularly the postseason in NHL,

142
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 2: there's nothing like it.

143
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had a good season so far, knocking and

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: we're a fun team to watch. You know. We we

145
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: had you know, something amazing happened in May and I

146
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: was fortunate to be a part of it. We won

147
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: the draft lottery and we get this young kid that

148
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: just barely turned eighteen years old named Matthew Shaefer and

149
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: he's already a big star in the league at eighteen

150
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: years old, and it looks to be a future superstar.

151
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: And you know, the fortunes of our franchise changed in May,

152
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: and you know, joining an already good team and so

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: it's just been a.

154
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: Lot of fun to want it's been a long drought

155
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: in a playoffs, but certainly Stanley Cup championships he won

156
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: four straight, which is absolutely incredible. In Olympic hockey, the overtime,

157
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: what do you make of the three on three over time?

158
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: Are you old school? Going? I you know, twenty minutes,

159
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: all players on the ice, everybody plays a three on three.

160
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean, it's I'm not a huge fan. It's exciting

161
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: for the fans of the shootout in the NHL in

162
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: the regular season, but three on three for all the

163
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: Marbles and the Olympics. What do you make of that?

164
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: You know, I'm old school and a lot of things,

165
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: but I like it. I do like it. And here's

166
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the reason why I've watched over time since it was incorporated,

167
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, back in the early two thousands, I

168
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: think in pro hockey, and I just see the excitement

169
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: of the fans when they're watching it. It's it's just

170
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: tremendous hockey to watch when these these skilled players have

171
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: all this open ice. And I'd much rather see a

172
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: game decided three on three than in a shootout. I'm

173
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: not a fan of the soccer shootout, right, and I like,

174
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, to get a game decided, you have to,

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, pair down the numbers to three on three.

176
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: If you go five on five, you could be playing

177
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: another sixty minutes of hockey. I mean, I remember playing

178
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: in a four overtime games with the New York Islanders.

179
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: You know that was an extra two hours of hockey

180
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: to decide in overtime game. Yeah.

181
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's just so tight and yeah, it's like

182
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's exciting to watch. And I think it

183
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: favored the US women particularly too, because of the speed element.

184
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: That they had.

185
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: But we'll see how this plays. I'd imagine the men's

186
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: game if again, you know, you don't want to look

187
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: past it, because everyone thought by the way, you know,

188
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: speaking looking past things, you know something about this ken

189
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: because you know, you beat the Russians everything. Oh yeah

190
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: they won the gold medal. No they didn't. You had

191
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: a whole other game to play after.

192
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: That, exactly. And I don't know that a lot of

193
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: people know it. Everybody knows the ice game, Soviets, but

194
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, the way it was set up back then

195
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: was a little different. Right now, the way the Rockets work,

196
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: they have two semi final games and a final with

197
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: the two winners. Well, back in our day, back in

198
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, they had a medal round and so we

199
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: carried in points from the preliminary round. So when we

200
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: went into the medal round with the four teams, the

201
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: Soviets already had two points because they had won their

202
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: or their preliminary game against Finland. We carried in one point,

203
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: Sweden carried in one point, in Finland carried none. So

204
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: even though we had beaten the Soviets, there was still

205
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: a chance that if we hadn't beaten Finland on that

206
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, that we may not have won any medal

207
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: at all.

208
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it wasn't like you guys rolled Finland. And

209
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: there's the famous among many famous Herb Brooks quotes, of course,

210
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: you know in the room there and the second if

211
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: you lose this, you'll take it to your graves and

212
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: he turns around and goes to your bleeping f and graves.

213
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: And we saw that in the movie Miracle, which I

214
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: think it's cool that a lot of the younger players,

215
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: the men and the women for that matter, grew up

216
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: watching that movie. They really know about the eighty team

217
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 2: seen it live. Of course they weren't born, but they've

218
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: all watched a miracle a million times and remember that

219
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: was that realistic in what he said in the movie?

220
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. Yeah, Yeah, you don't forget, you know,

221
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: after giving this great after giving this great motivational speech.

222
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: You know, before the Russian game, you were born to

223
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: be a player, you were meant to be here. This

224
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: is your moment too. Yes, is coming into the locker

225
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: room at the end of the second period. We were

226
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: down to one and if you lose this game, you'll

227
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: take it to your bleeping grave. And as the guys

228
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, he wasn't a swearing man, so yeah,

229
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, bus Schneider I think was quoted as saying,

230
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: we knew what he meant, you know, we knew what

231
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: he was trying to get across. How does that?

232
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: How was something like that go over?

233
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Ken?

234
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: How's that something go over in the room? And we

235
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: saw the reaction to the movie. But like you personally,

236
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 2: when we dropped that line and he swore, which he

237
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: doesn't swear, and he did that, it's like, did that

238
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: put more pressure on you? Did it? What's your reaction

239
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: as a professional.

240
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: Athlete to that? No, you know, here's a great story.

241
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: Our assistant coach Craig Patrick was standing outside the locker room.

242
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: I'd never heard the story until a couple of years ago,

243
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: and he said Herb came up to him at the

244
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: end of the second period. Again we're down to one,

245
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: and Herb says, Craig, you got to go into the

246
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: room and talk to the guys. They're just now listening

247
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: to me. So Craig says, he turned around, stepped into

248
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: the room and he said he got two words out.

249
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: He said, hey, guys, and he said. Everybody was up

250
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: on their feet, jumping up and down. Jack O'Callahan, i think,

251
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: turned to him and said, Craig, get the heck out

252
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: of here. There's no way we're losing to a bunch

253
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: of Finske said, he turned out round, walked back out

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: or said. How did it go? He said, I think

255
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: went okay. So having said that, yeah, we were you know,

256
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: we had this group of you know, character guys. All

257
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: of these guys on our team had been captains and

258
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: saw and we knew what was in front of us,

259
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: and our proudest moment through the whole two week tournament

260
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: was that third period and came out and just blew

261
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: them out of the water.

262
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you turned you turned it on and kind

263
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: of like the women did yesterday, you know, they they

264
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: they came out pretty flat, and they were flat for

265
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: most of that game, and then you could tell the

266
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: tide was starting to turn midway a little bit more

267
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: than midway through that third period with the US women

268
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: in Canada yesterday, and they spent a lot of time

269
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: in their zone and finally Polo goalie and and I

270
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: wind up scoring with a couple of minutes left, the tying,

271
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: the one that sent to OT and then the OT winner.

272
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: So the little parallels there.

273
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, credit to Canada. They played a really strong game,

274
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: and you know, the US was the better team going

275
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: into the game, but it kind of shows you what

276
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: can happen when a team really buckles down and he

277
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: gets some good goaltending. So hey, you know, the US

278
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: came through with the heart of a champion with the

279
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: way they came back and won that game.

280
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so fun to watch Ken Morrill, member of

281
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty Miracle on Ice team, joining the Scotsland's here

282
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: show here on seven hundred w ALW with the men

283
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: playing this afternoon Canada in a game right now against

284
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: Finla they're down to the first intermission. I don't want

285
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: to ruin it for you here, but it's still early.

286
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: A lot of hockey left to be played there. So uh,

287
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: it is an incredible story and one that is going

288
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: to be absolutely timeless. Would this be if the women

289
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: win gold, the men win gold? Let's say, is that

290
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: the pinnacle of US hockey? Do you think you have

291
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: the men and the women both gold medal champions?

292
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think you would have to say so. Yeah, yeah,

293
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they'll let's you know, they'll never

294
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: be another nineteen eighty. I'll first of all, I'll say that,

295
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, the way it's been remembered, the way it

296
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: will always be remembered. There's no as al Michael said,

297
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: what could top that? Nothing? Nothing, you know, but that

298
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: having said that, yes, this would be the pinnacle. The

299
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: US has been building towards this for many years. You know,

300
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: we've we've become a superpower on the hockey stage, and

301
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: this would just be Yeah, this would top it all off. Yeah.

302
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, these are professional players, but it's the

303
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: world's best athletes going at it. I know there's something

304
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: And these days when we talked Ken about nil money

305
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: and all that, but you know, at the end of

306
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: the day, it's about watching the best athletes perform at

307
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: the peak level of their sports. And we'll see that

308
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: with in other sports as well, where professional athletes are

309
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: allowed to play. Because for the longest time, you know,

310
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: and this is the knock on the Olympic committees from

311
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: the USA, is that, you know, the Russians we mentioned

312
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,239
Speaker 2: the beginning in Soviets, for a long time had professional

313
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: grown men playing a boys sport, and that's why they

314
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: just dominated as long as they did that. This is

315
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: more compelling to me than that.

316
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, hey, you know, the Olympics are the pinnacle

317
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: in the sports world and I think, you know, you

318
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of these players, let's say, all these

319
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: hockey players that have played for Stanley Cups, that have

320
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: played for world championships. This is on another level and

321
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: I think they're finding that out guys that haven't had

322
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: this experience. All you got to do is just look

323
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: at their faces, you know, of all these athletes, the pride,

324
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: the exhilaration, sometimes the heartbreak that comes with the Olympics,

325
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, it's it's it's a sporting event unlike

326
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: any other yeah.

327
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 2: Ken, more, if I want to let you go, there

328
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: are many people in the world who have won a

329
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: gold medal and also one in your case, four Stanley

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: Cup rings as well. Is there something and I play

331
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: off hockey's the greatest, but is there something that the

332
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: camp Becket complicated? Even with the Stanley Cup run that

333
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 2: you got on the Olympics?

334
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Boy, I you know, I can't think of anything. You know,

335
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: I've I've it's so fortunate to be able to compare

336
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: the two experiences of winning and gold medal and then

337
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: winning a Stanley Cup. And yeah, at least in the

338
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: hockey world that you know I've As you said, I

339
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: was the only one for a long time that had

340
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: that had won both. And then when players come in,

341
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: there's been some other players. But let's help we can

342
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: see some some US players, players that pull that feet off.

343
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:18,400
