<v Speaker 1>I'm doing great, Scott. It's always great to be talking

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>hockey and Olympics with you.

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, thank any thanks for joining. I know you're

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>super busy, so I appreciate it. You know, you saw

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Quinn Hughes score the o time overtime winner for the

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>men to advance the semi's defenseman Megan Keller, defense woman

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 2>for the United States women's team, she walked.

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>Her by the way.

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I would say, you know, two defenseman scoring, you got

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>to be pretty high, pretty proud of that, the fact

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>being a defenseman normally that doesn't happen. But who has

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>better hands back in the day, you or Megan Keller?

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Well she does right now, that's there. I mean I was.

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I was more known for my direct passes around the

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>boards and my dumpings more than that.

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>She walked her defenseman. I was like, man, that was

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a move.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Wow, what a thrill? Yeah. Well, you know that's a

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>game that will be remembered forever. And I mean, how

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>about the dramatic endings in this Olympic tournament. You know,

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the women's game going to overtime, the gold medal game,

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and then the three or the four quarterfinal games. Of

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.119
<v Speaker 1>the men's the other day three of them went into overtime. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I know that.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>The fact that the women, it has been unbelievably compelling

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.959
<v Speaker 2>to watch the women and most of those games, and

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, they're what three hundred and eighty minutes something's

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.959
<v Speaker 2>shut out, I mean insane, right, like sixteen periods of

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>shut out of hockey. They have a lot up until yesterday,

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 2>one goal, so two goals and outscore the other team

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty three goals to two. It almost harkens back to

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 2>what you guys faced in the Dynasty of the Russians,

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 2>of course in nineteen eighty beating the Russian men's team

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 2>in the miracle ice game that you were in ken

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 2>And it feels like that same kind of dominance in

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>at least in this Olympics anyway.

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, yes, there's a great comparison there. You know, back

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighty we didn't know it at the time,

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>but you know, we inspired a whole generation of young kids.

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>They came through in the nineties and turned into big stars.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, they won the nineteen ninety six World Cup

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>with players like Bill Gearn and Keith Kachuk and Mike

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Madonald and Chris Chellison right on down the line. And

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden, we've got this newer generation

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>that they inspired, and we're watching these these stars and

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>superstars on Team USA play right now and then the

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>women's game. Yes, they're doing exactly what we did back

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen eighty. There's a lot of young girls out

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>there that are going to start playing hockey because of

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>what they watched on TV. Yeah.

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if you think about it, can you and

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>your teammates in eighty are responsible before we are today

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>in the sense is that, you know, women's sports was

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>it was there, but it was not existent. Wasn't the

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>late nineties that women's sports started coming on its own?

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 2>And I will say the watching that game, it looked

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 2>like for the US women's team, there's like ten of

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>them out there the way they just dominated teams. And

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that's all on your shoulders, I would say.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and this was by far, you know that.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we have the teams in in the late

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>nineties that want to gold medals there at the Olympics

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>with Tammy Grenado and they started it all. And now

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing, you know, this, this newer generation of even

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 1>better players coming through now and the pool is a

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lot deeper for the for the women's teams, and now

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing some of these other countries that are becoming

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>very competitive. So it's just as I said, it's exploding

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would say too. I mean, at the end

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 2>of the day, you look at it, and certainly the

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>NHL is the you know, it's it's the dog of

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 2>North American I should say American sports. Anyways, Yeah, and

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a long, uphill battle. A lot of reasons why

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Americans you know, don't lean in the game of hockey,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 2>but it certainly has grown, and it's all because of

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>what happened in nineteen eighty and now we're you know,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>we're celebrating women's hockey in addition to the men's team,

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>and it'll be how cool will it be? By the way,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>if Canada can beat Finland here they're not doing so

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>well right now, but it's early. If they could win

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and the US men advance, and now we have for

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 2>the men's gold medal, it's Canada USA two point zero.

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I can't think of it more thrilling.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Anyhow, well, we got a taste of it with the

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Four Nations tournament.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, right, the.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Way it captured the country. And yeah, I mean we're

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>seeing the best players in the world on the biggest

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>stage in the world right now. And people have to

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>remember with Olympic Hockey, it's not like the basketball tournament,

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, where you have a couple of powers and

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that's about it. In hockey, you've got six, seven, eight

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>countries that are powers in hockey, So the games don't

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 1>get any easier. I know, we like to pick favorites

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>in this country, but right now, I mean Canada is

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>in a fight. The US is going to be in

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a fight later this afternoon.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Canada's really fighting it out right. By the way,

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>bo Horva plays for Team Canada if they do indeed

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 2>face the Americans. Uh, were you aside on that? When

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Cammy's an Islander, he's one of your guys? Yeah, how

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 2>does that work for you?

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>You can here for Yeah, I mean I care for

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>him to have some individual success, but yeah, it's USA

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 1>all the way for me.

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, guys, just scout. I'm like, I don't know we

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 2>can root against him. That's a maybe. I don't know,

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna go Mick Cronin on me there for

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 2>a second with your answer, I'm not sure.

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>What do you what do you make a three?

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>By the way, By the way, he's having a terrific

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 1>us with the Islanders and he's become, you know, one

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of our leaders there.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>And right now with the with the with the Olympic break,

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys are holding still holding the playoff spot. So

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and you know, if you if you enjoyed this and

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.479
<v Speaker 2>you're new to hockey, watch NHL playoff or watch the

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>games down the stretch, but particularly the postseason in NHL,

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:47.919
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing like it.

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've had a good season so far, knocking and

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>we're a fun team to watch. You know. We we

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>had you know, something amazing happened in May and I

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>was fortunate to be a part of it. We won

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>the draft lottery and we get this young kid that

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>just barely turned eighteen years old named Matthew Shaefer and

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>he's already a big star in the league at eighteen

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>years old, and it looks to be a future superstar.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, the fortunes of our franchise changed in May,

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know, joining an already good team and so

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's just been a.

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Lot of fun to want it's been a long drought

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 2>in a playoffs, but certainly Stanley Cup championships he won

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 2>four straight, which is absolutely incredible. In Olympic hockey, the overtime,

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>what do you make of the three on three over time?

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you old school? Going? I you know, twenty minutes,

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>all players on the ice, everybody plays a three on three.

0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's I'm not a huge fan. It's exciting

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>for the fans of the shootout in the NHL in

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>the regular season, but three on three for all the

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Marbles and the Olympics. What do you make of that?

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm old school and a lot of things,

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>but I like it. I do like it. And here's

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the reason why I've watched over time since it was incorporated,

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, back in the early two thousands, I

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>think in pro hockey, and I just see the excitement

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of the fans when they're watching it. It's it's just

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>tremendous hockey to watch when these these skilled players have

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>all this open ice. And I'd much rather see a

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>game decided three on three than in a shootout. I'm

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>not a fan of the soccer shootout, right, and I like,

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get a game decided, you have to,

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, pair down the numbers to three on three.

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>If you go five on five, you could be playing

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>another sixty minutes of hockey. I mean, I remember playing

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.719
<v Speaker 1>in a four overtime games with the New York Islanders.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>You know that was an extra two hours of hockey

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to decide in overtime game. Yeah.

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And it's just so tight and yeah, it's like

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's exciting to watch. And I think it

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 2>favored the US women particularly too, because of the speed element.

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>That they had.

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see how this plays. I'd imagine the men's

0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>game if again, you know, you don't want to look

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.840
<v Speaker 2>past it, because everyone thought by the way, you know,

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 2>speaking looking past things, you know something about this ken

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 2>because you know, you beat the Russians everything. Oh yeah

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they won the gold medal. No they didn't. You had

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>a whole other game to play after.

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>That, exactly. And I don't know that a lot of

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>people know it. Everybody knows the ice game, Soviets, but

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, the way it was set up back then

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 1>was a little different. Right now, the way the Rockets work,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 1>they have two semi final games and a final with

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the two winners. Well, back in our day, back in

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty, they had a medal round and so we

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 1>carried in points from the preliminary round. So when we

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>went into the medal round with the four teams, the

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Soviets already had two points because they had won their

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>or their preliminary game against Finland. We carried in one point,

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Sweden carried in one point, in Finland carried none. So

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>even though we had beaten the Soviets, there was still

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a chance that if we hadn't beaten Finland on that

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Sunday morning, that we may not have won any medal

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>at all.

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it wasn't like you guys rolled Finland. And

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>there's the famous among many famous Herb Brooks quotes, of course,

0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 2>you know in the room there and the second if

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>you lose this, you'll take it to your graves and

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>he turns around and goes to your bleeping f and graves.

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 2>And we saw that in the movie Miracle, which I

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 2>think it's cool that a lot of the younger players,

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the men and the women for that matter, grew up

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 2>watching that movie. They really know about the eighty team

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>seen it live. Of course they weren't born, but they've

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 2>all watched a miracle a million times and remember that

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 2>was that realistic in what he said in the movie?

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was. Yeah, Yeah, you don't forget, you know,

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>after giving this great after giving this great motivational speech.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, before the Russian game, you were born to

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 1>be a player, you were meant to be here. This

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>is your moment too. Yes, is coming into the locker

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>room at the end of the second period. We were

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>down to one and if you lose this game, you'll

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.400
<v Speaker 1>take it to your bleeping grave. And as the guys

0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about, you know, he wasn't a swearing man, so yeah,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, bus Schneider I think was quoted as saying,

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>we knew what he meant, you know, we knew what

0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to get across. How does that?

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 2>How was something like that go over?

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Ken?

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>How's that something go over in the room? And we

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>saw the reaction to the movie. But like you personally,

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 2>when we dropped that line and he swore, which he

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't swear, and he did that, it's like, did that

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>put more pressure on you? Did it? What's your reaction

0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>as a professional.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Athlete to that? No, you know, here's a great story.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Our assistant coach Craig Patrick was standing outside the locker room.

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd never heard the story until a couple of years ago,

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and he said Herb came up to him at the

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>end of the second period. Again we're down to one,

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 1>and Herb says, Craig, you got to go into the

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.880
<v Speaker 1>room and talk to the guys. They're just now listening

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to me. So Craig says, he turned around, stepped into

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the room and he said he got two words out.

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 1>He said, hey, guys, and he said. Everybody was up

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 1>on their feet, jumping up and down. Jack O'Callahan, i think,

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>turned to him and said, Craig, get the heck out

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>of here. There's no way we're losing to a bunch

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>of Finske said, he turned out round, walked back out

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 1>or said. How did it go? He said, I think

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>went okay. So having said that, yeah, we were you know,

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>we had this group of you know, character guys. All

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>of these guys on our team had been captains and

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>saw and we knew what was in front of us,

0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and our proudest moment through the whole two week tournament

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>was that third period and came out and just blew

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:25.120
<v Speaker 1>them out of the water.

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, you turned you turned it on and kind

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>of like the women did yesterday, you know, they they

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>they came out pretty flat, and they were flat for

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 2>most of that game, and then you could tell the

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>tide was starting to turn midway a little bit more

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>than midway through that third period with the US women

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>in Canada yesterday, and they spent a lot of time

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 2>in their zone and finally Polo goalie and and I

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>wind up scoring with a couple of minutes left, the tying,

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the one that sent to OT and then the OT winner.

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 2>So the little parallels there.

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, credit to Canada. They played a really strong game,

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, the US was the better team going

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>into the game, but it kind of shows you what

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 1>can happen when a team really buckles down and he

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>gets some good goaltending. So hey, you know, the US

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 1>came through with the heart of a champion with the

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>way they came back and won that game.

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's so fun to watch Ken Morrill, member of

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen eighty Miracle on Ice team, joining the Scotsland's here

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>show here on seven hundred w ALW with the men

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 2>playing this afternoon Canada in a game right now against

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Finla they're down to the first intermission. I don't want

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to ruin it for you here, but it's still early.

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 2>A lot of hockey left to be played there. So uh,

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>it is an incredible story and one that is going

0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 2>to be absolutely timeless. Would this be if the women

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>win gold, the men win gold? Let's say, is that

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the pinnacle of US hockey? Do you think you have

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the men and the women both gold medal champions?

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think you would have to say so. Yeah, yeah,

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, they'll let's you know, they'll never

0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>be another nineteen eighty. I'll first of all, I'll say that,

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the way it's been remembered, the way it

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 1>will always be remembered. There's no as al Michael said,

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 1>what could top that? Nothing? Nothing, you know, but that

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.400
<v Speaker 1>having said that, yes, this would be the pinnacle. The

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>US has been building towards this for many years. You know,

0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 1>we've we've become a superpower on the hockey stage, and

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 1>this would just be Yeah, this would top it all off. Yeah.

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, these are professional players, but it's the

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 2>world's best athletes going at it. I know there's something

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 2>And these days when we talked Ken about nil money

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>and all that, but you know, at the end of

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 2>the day, it's about watching the best athletes perform at

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the peak level of their sports. And we'll see that

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 2>with in other sports as well, where professional athletes are

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 2>allowed to play. Because for the longest time, you know,

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 2>and this is the knock on the Olympic committees from

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the USA, is that, you know, the Russians we mentioned

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the beginning in Soviets, for a long time had professional

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 2>grown men playing a boys sport, and that's why they

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 2>just dominated as long as they did that. This is

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>more compelling to me than that.

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, hey, you know, the Olympics are the pinnacle

0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>in the sports world and I think, you know, you

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of these players, let's say, all these

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 1>hockey players that have played for Stanley Cups, that have

0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 1>played for world championships. This is on another level and

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I think they're finding that out guys that haven't had

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>this experience. All you got to do is just look

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>at their faces, you know, of all these athletes, the pride,

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the exhilaration, sometimes the heartbreak that comes with the Olympics,

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just yeah, it's it's it's a sporting event unlike

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>any other yeah.

0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Ken, more, if I want to let you go, there

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 2>are many people in the world who have won a

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>gold medal and also one in your case, four Stanley

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Cup rings as well. Is there something and I play

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 2>off hockey's the greatest, but is there something that the

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 2>camp Becket complicated? Even with the Stanley Cup run that

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>you got on the Olympics?

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Boy, I you know, I can't think of anything. You know,

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I've I've it's so fortunate to be able to compare

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the two experiences of winning and gold medal and then

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>winning a Stanley Cup. And yeah, at least in the

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>hockey world that you know I've As you said, I

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 1>was the only one for a long time that had

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>that had won both. And then when players come in,

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>there's been some other players. But let's help we can

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>see some some US players, players that pull that feet off.

0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, Kenny, thanks for this. I appreciate I know you're

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 2>you're probably talked out about it, but maybe I mean
