00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: gold medal game, from pregame vibes to postgame celebration, how

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: she felt representing Team USA during a fraught time in

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: our country, three weeks living in the athlete village, and

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: where the hell that in Keller we trust flag came

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: from plus ratings through the roof to the Victor's go

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: the spirits and Kelly needs a car, y'all. My gold

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,120

Speaker 1: It's Kelly Panic. Kelly, thanks for coming back on the show.

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Nice to sit down with you in person.

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always fun to be in person, and you know,

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: after some exciting wins even better. Yeah, thank you for

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: letting me wear your medal anytime, anytime, life highlight. I

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: want to start by having you take us through the

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: emotions of the gold medal game, beat by beat. And

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: I know it's hard to go back and remember after

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: you've felt the euphoria of winning, but see if you

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: can access the part of you that was in that

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: present moment.

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: So let's start with pregame. What was the vibe in

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the locker room?

39
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I have a tendency of when I

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: wake up on a game like that, whether it's a

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: national championship, World championship, Olympic goal metal game. You tend

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: to have a vibe and sometimes it's like feel really

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: good and sometimes like the worst case ones is when

44
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: it really doesn't and it's few and far between where

45
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: you feel like you really doesn't feel great. But waking

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: up on that day, just remember feeling very calm. And

47
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: even throughout our preparation with our team, we've had a

48
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: seven o'clock game, which heret it felt like it's like

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: nine o'clock or it's four, Like, yeah, it's been late, late,

50
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: and seven is very normal for us, so it's kind

51
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: of back to a normal routine timing everything, and US

52
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: athletes are very routine oriented when it comes to our sports,

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: right So, and then in the locker room, it's been

54
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: such a blessing I think with the mix of players

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: we have with experience, so a lot of us that

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: have been in the moment and a lot of that haven't.

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: It's been really fun throughout the Olympics to have the

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: girls that haven't been here because they're just so excited

59
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: for everything and you kind of get to re experience

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: that like fresh excitement and going through that go medal

61
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: that you could tell that there's some nerves, you know,

62
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: from other people, But I actually had to do the

63
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: you know, pregame interview on the ice during War ups

64
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: and I just remember feeling like, no, we worked hard

65
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: to get here. The hardest part is giving yourself a

66
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: chance to be in this game. This is the fun part.

67
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: More nerves from the people who had been there before

68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: are the new ones. I think both.

69
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: But I think for me, like you listed accomplishments that

70
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: I've had in my career and been very lucky to

71
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: be a part of those teams, and I think everything

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: in this point in my hockey career is just feels

73
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: extra at this point right Like as a kid, I

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: can only dream about being a national champion, being an Olympian,

75
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: winning a goal medal, and to get to do that

76
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 2: and have the chance to continue to do that is

77
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: really special and you just want it for the people

78
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: that in twenty twenty two didn't have that outcome or

79
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: I thought of like Alex Carpenter, She's had such.

80
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: A historic career as well.

81
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: For her to be on an Olympic team and then

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: not be on one and then fight to be back

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: and cement her legacy as a hockey player and to

84
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: finally get her goal medal, Like you think of all

85
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: of those moments, So I think people, you know, had

86
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: different levels of nerves, And the one thing I felt

87
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: like throughout the entire game is that we always just

88
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: knew we were going to get it done, even until

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: the end, whatever it took. And as the game kind

90
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: of started to take that turn in the second period,

91
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: that's where it felt like our nowur clicking, like it's

92
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: just a matter of time.

93
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's go back to the first period. Because

94
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: Canon had your number a bit, they had a great strategy.

95
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: They were really slowing you down, which nobody had been

96
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: able to do during the games. Did you feel a

97
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: little back on your heels when you came out and

98
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: they were dominating play. Yeah. I think we knew that

99
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: they were going to come out with a big push.

100
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: That was something I think going into our preliminary game

101
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: with them, we were expecting that as well, because I mean, frankly,

102
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: throughout this season and the run up and the rivalry

103
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: series games, we've had their number and not in a

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: way that it didn't feel very characteristic of their team.

105
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: I think that was a lot of the commentary that

106
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: you know, we try to block out, but you hear

107
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: some of it, whether it's you know, people questioning where's

108
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: their passion, where's their heart, where's their pride? And playing

109
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: for their flag? And I felt like that game was

110
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: a lot more you know, true to hockey Canada. That's

111
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: where I think, you know this team for us, we

112
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: have a lot of players that are new to this experience.

113
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: It is different when you put a gold medal game

114
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: on the line, right, Like it's different than a preliminary

115
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: game or even a quarterfinal game that you're expected to win.

116
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: It's just a little bit different.

117
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: So for those players that are you know, being heavily

118
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: relied on and leaned on in some prominent roles, it

119
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: took a little bit for I think, for our team

120
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: to get settled in. But that was I think the

121
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: biggest thing. For get that first period under the way and.

122
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Be reminded it's still Canada, It's still you plead and

123
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: they reminded you at the beginning of the second period

124
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: shorty from christ and O'Neill shut out streak ends you're

125
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: down for the first time in the whole games. What

126
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: was the feeling on the bench and you know when

127
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: you went into the locker room.

128
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that goal, that shorthanded goal, kind

129
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: of was a wake up call. I think in some

130
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: ways just from the standpoint of like, yeah, we're gonna

131
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, choices of consequences, Like if we're not making

132
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: good puck decisions, if we're not you know, sticking to

133
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: game plans and whatnot, there's gonna be some consequences.

134
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: Right like there.

135
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: They have a lot of talent on their team as well,

136
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: So at that point, I think it actually settled us

137
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: a little bit. And then in that second period that's

138
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: really what when it felt like we were able to

139
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: get back to our game and we missed some great

140
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: you know chances, They made some good saves, but it

141
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: felt like we were kind of shifting, shifting one month

142
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 2: back in our favor. Sure, and definitely like as the

143
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: longer the game goes, when those empty nuts that we

144
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: missed or the big saves, you're like, Okay, that's that's

145
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: another grade A. You just there's only so many great

146
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: A chances, That's.

147
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: What I was thinking. I'm like, it's one of two things.

148
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Either their snake bitten and they're gonna keep almost but

149
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: not finishing or they're due, and like one of these

150
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: has to go and you can't keep this much pressure

151
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: on without finishing. It took a while though, So before

152
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: we get to the third period, let's talk locker room.

153
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: Who's given the speech and what are they saying.

154
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people. I don't think it's anything

155
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: really big. I think Hillary shared some things, Kendall has

156
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: shared some things, Lee shared some things. I shared some things.

157
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: And some of it's from a hay let's settle in,

158
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: like we're playing our game now. Some of it's maybe

159
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: more tactical about hey, let's keep doing this from what

160
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: we see on the ice, lifting people up where we

161
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: need to. You know, sometimes it's when you can see

162
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: someone in the locker room, you know, their shoulders are down,

163
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: their heads down, they're maybe fighting in a little bit,

164
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: but just reminding them like we have your back, you

165
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: have our back, we have your back. We don't care

166
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: about the mistakes people make. It's about you know, how

167
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: do you respond? You know, there's at this point they

168
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: and we still have time to make up for it.

169
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: And with the amount of scoring power that we have

170
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: on our team and aount of talent that we have

171
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: in our team. I don't think anyone was doubting that

172
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: we were going to score.

173
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have one nothing on my Bengal board, that's

174
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: for sure. I'm like, what's going on here? Okay, third

175
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: period minus two and a half minutes, You're on the

176
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: doorstep over and over again. Nothing's going in. Time is

177
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: running out. What are we doing? What are we thinking? Yeah?

178
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: We actually it was interesting.

179
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: We got an offense zone draw, which anytime you get

180
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: an offensive zone draw at that point in the game,

181
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: you're ready for that, you know, whistle. I don't know

182
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: if we actually don't know if we took a time

183
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: out of hers a TV timeout.

184
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: I think it was what do they call the power break, yes, ye,

185
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: which is really just a TV timeout. I think it

186
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: was a power breaking, not a time I think so too.

187
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: And it was a pretty quick whistle, and I remember

188
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: the Canadians were like kind of upset. They're like, that

189
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: was really quick, because you know how important those those

190
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: whistles are in the power breaks free time out.

191
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: So that's a huge thing for us.

192
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: If you know, you get that extra time out, get

193
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: the players you want out there for the six on five,

194
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: kind of get organized, get a face off plan going.

195
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: That's something you know that our coach actually did a

196
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 2: really good job of was having a lot of different

197
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: face off options, and we had ran a lot throughout

198
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: the tournament throughout the last four years with him, So

199
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: it felt like the six people on the ice were prepared.

200
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: We had the next six up ready to go if

201
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: there were changes needed. And again, when you look at

202
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: I mean Hillary in and of itself, like whenever you

203
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: have her on your team, knowing you know how close

204
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 2: she was to breaking records for one, knowing what she's

205
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: you know done at the Olympics personally and as a

206
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: hockey player, knowing you know, what she said before this

207
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: Olympics about you know, it probably being her last, and

208
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: how much it's meant to her to wear that jersey.

209
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: You knew, like if she's on the ice, she's gonna

210
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: do everything she can to get the job done.

211
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: And it's wild though, like when you actually I'm feeling

212
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: like mildly emotional as you're talking about it, because it's

213
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: actually wild to think about how the people that always

214
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: come up do, especially in hockey. That's a deflection, you

215
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's not basketball where it's like Okay,

216
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my guy one on one and I'm

217
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: gonna be better. Everything has to go right. Robo has

218
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: to set the right players up. You have to get

219
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: in the right positions and hope that you're in place.

220
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: And then she gets a deflection on a Layla Edwards like, yeah,

221
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: blast her from the top, and it's of course the

222
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: eary night you say that, but it's like not, of course,

223
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: there's a million great players that never get that moment.

224
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that was something like I feel

225
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: like I said it over like almost after every shift,

226
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: keep doing the right things. We're doing good things to

227
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: give ourself chances. Keep doing the right things. And that

228
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: play is it's not some crazy set play, right Like,

229
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: it's just a pretty routine hockey play where in the

230
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: six point five you're trying to open up a shooting

231
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: line and get the puck to the net. Sometimes it

232
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: looks really glamorous with the one timer and sometimes it's

233
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: that tip.

234
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: But getting Renee's face keep her from seeing.

235
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: What exactly, And so that's that's something with Hillary. I mean,

236
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: she's like I think people give her kind of pigeonhole

237
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: her as like all this goal scorer only she does

238
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: good things all across the ice. I mean as a

239
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: hockey player two hundred foot defensively, offensively, and she can

240
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: score any which way. She can score with the puck

241
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: on her stick, she can score getting open, she can

242
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: score with those tips. Like watching her in practice. You know,

243
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: she was practicing a play earlier about tipping a puck

244
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: to the player on the back door off of a shot,

245
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 2: and I was like laughing, like, are you trying to

246
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: rehearse that?

247
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: But she would she would do that, She would do that. Okay,

248
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: So Hillary scores, everybody's sphincter's release. Everyone relaxes a little bit.

249
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: You know you're going to get that overtime session. You

250
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: remind yourselves with the rules which are different now, which

251
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: is going to be three on three, golden goal wins

252
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: up to twenty minutes. And if no one scores, you

253
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: just keep doing that until somebody does. You go into

254
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: the locker room. What are the vibes now, who's given

255
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: the speech? What are they saying?

256
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was a lot of the same people,

257
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: a lot of logisticals. We had to confirm the rules,

258
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: make sure it was the full is it ten minutes,

259
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: is it twenty.

260
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: Is it same sides?

261
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Do you switch ends and the PTERWHL you switch ends,

262
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: you have a long change, which makes a big difference.

263
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: Talking about some tactical position of your bench makes a difference.

264
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, cheating you know you can use that change

265
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: your advantage. And that's something for us, all of us

266
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 2: that play in the PWHL. We played throughout three now,

267
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: so we have a little bit more practice, so some

268
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: of those reminders to the college players that just do

269
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: it less. So it was again, it kind of had

270
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: the same feeling going into the third of just refocus,

271
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: what do we need to adjust, you know, sticking to

272
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: what our strengths are as individuals, as a team, and

273
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: you know, really having that belief that we were gonna

274
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: make it happen.

275
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: Everyone I spoke to in the mixed zone after the game,

276
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: and then Hillary and I think Megan as well, everyone

277
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: kind of said it was just steady, like you didn't

278
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: feel like you needed the miracle on ice speech. Why

279
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: is that? Why does it feel like you were able to,

280
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: even in this adversity you had in faced before, just

281
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, we got this, like we already know

282
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: who we are. It's fine. Yeah, it actually reminded me

283
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: a lot of twenty eighteen. That was something similar.

284
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: I remember going into that third period we were down

285
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: a goal, and it was the same thing of just

286
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: you look around the room and like the leadership of

287
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: that team was so calm, and as someone who hadn't

288
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 2: been in that experience and they're in that environment and

289
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: that moment, if they felt calm, I'm like, Okay, we're good.

290
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: That's so. I think it's the same thing. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

291
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: And I think there's also an element to like with

292
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 2: this team specifically. I think everyone just knew so much

293
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: of what their role was. And I think when you

294
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: feel that trust that hey, this is my job, you

295
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: got yours. You're gonna do your job, I'm gonna do mine.

296
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna pull that rope together. It's gonna take all

297
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: of us on this team to get the job done.

298
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: Whoever's number is called, they're ready to go. And I

299
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: think it's it's when you have that trust and belief

300
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 2: in each other, it makes it really easy to stay

301
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: calm because you're not you're not worried about you know, it's.

302
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: Not on you. Yeah, And that was kind of a

303
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: theme for this team. Throughout both rival Ruy Series and

304
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: Olympics is it doesn't really matter who scores, We're gonna

305
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: set each other up. We're gonna make that last pass

306
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: even if we have a look for someone who has

307
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: even even better. Look like that trust was so clear throughout.

308
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that was a lot of

309
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: the talk too going into the Olympics was the US

310
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: went young, the Canadians kind of stayed with the same

311
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: same group, and then you saw their experience come to

312
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: light in that game. And I think for us, you know,

313
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: those are younger players, the ones that people are all

314
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: don't have to they had experience though. Yeah, they've been

315
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: put on a big stage for the last four years.

316
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: They've been given a lot of responsibility on our team

317
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: on the ice for the last you know, four years.

318
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: They've they've earned it and they've also built on it.

319
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 2: So it makes it really easy then to and it's

320
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: important too also the way they play hockey, like they

321
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: just play with this light, fun, fresh like they're just

322
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: it's really energetic to play with them.

323
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Like when you see Caroline Harvey just.

324
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: Whirling around out there, it's like she can't be touched

325
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: or Layla somehow some way likes to candles through four

326
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: people that I don't understand with how longer stick is ye,

327
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: but she does it, and so it's it embodies a

328
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: couple of people in the way.

329
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: Past exactly exactly.

330
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: So it's you have this great blend of people that

331
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: have been there, people that are fearless, people that again

332
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: are so confident in who they are as hockey player

333
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: that when that matches with the role they're given, it's

334
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: just very empowering.

335
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Keller scores. Did you see it? Many people did not?

336
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, No, I saw it.

337
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: I saw made a great play, and I thought that

338
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: was one of the best games truly. Like I've seen

339
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: her play sick two hundred foot up and down the ice.

340
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people see, you know, the

341
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: highlights from her career with the puck offensively, but I

342
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: thought that was one of her best games without the puck,

343
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 2: leading the charge offensively with the four check pulling her

344
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 2: line mates up into that backtrack. I think that's how

345
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: that play started. And she got that puck and made

346
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: a really good heads up play quickly, and I saw

347
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Meg get it, and I saw her look over her shoulders.

348
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: She had time.

349
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh, she's gonna try it, Like she's gonna

350
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: go for something here. Usually, like in those scenarios, if

351
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: you don't feel like you have the edge on three

352
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: on three, you're gonna exactly, you're gonna try to you know,

353
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: get your numbers up, getta change whatever, play that kind

354
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: of cat and mouse game.

355
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: And she was like, Oh, she's trying her and I mean,

356
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: what a sick move. Sick move.

357
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: And she's always been that really skilled player, but since

358
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: you know, KK has come on the team, Leila Winnie,

359
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: she kind of people forget.

360
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I think she's a defender.

361
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: You're like surprised every time, even if you've seen it

362
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: before exactly. And again, those long defenders they just have

363
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: a different you know look about them. And she just

364
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: she made a great play and she's always had that

365
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: offensive side to her game, and it was really, I

366
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: mean just super happy for her to have that moment too,

367
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: because she is just such a great, i mean great

368
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: hockey player. But she's also one of those people in

369
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: our room that like just connects generations, like she's so fun,

370
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: she's she has that great balance of seriousness, professionalism, competitiveness,

371
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: but also just like nothing seemed to really FaZe her.

372
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: She just enjoys the moment.

373
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: She brings in people to enjoy the moment with her,

374
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: and so to see, you know, just the pure look

375
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: of joy on her face as she's like one stayed

376
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: on her feet that part, I was like, how did

377
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: you not fall? But those pictures of her like turning

378
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: the corner just like pure elation. It's it's just so

379
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 2: fitting for who she is.

380
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: I suggested that the nickname for the goal should be

381
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: dragged that bitch and backhanded it or dragged and backhanded

382
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: that bitch or something like that, but I don't think

383
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna pass muster. Is there a better nickname

384
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: the team has come up with yet? I don't. I

385
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: actually don't know.

386
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: I if you haven't even I feel like talked about it.

387
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: We just keep looking like watching the video being like

388
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: in awe, I've heard the Italian job. Oh yeah, I've

389
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: heard star dangled banner.

390
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's really close to the Joson Lammer though hers

391
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: was oops, I did it again, but yeah, but that

392
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: was like the there was a headline I think that

393
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: said star spangled dangled. Oh that's good, I think, Yeah, Okay,

394
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: we'll keep her Yeah, we'll brain shop working on it. Yeah,

395
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 2: during the postgame, you were skating around with an in

396
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: collor we Trust flag and everyone was like, how did

397
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: they already have that onhand?

398
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: Why was that made? Why was that there? And how

399
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: did you end up with?

400
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Keller we Trust banner is I mean, this

401
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: is how long we've trusted in color.

402
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: So I think I'm pretty sure it's twenty nineteen.

403
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: She's up for the top three for the Patty Kaz

404
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: Award in college and it was both our senior years.

405
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: My team was in the Frozen four. So we were

406
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: at the banquet, her team, they were there to support her.

407
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: And so since she was named a finalist, a bunch

408
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: of her friends had made T shirts with that you know,

409
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: slogan on it, and they made that poster like they

410
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: had it hanging on the car outside the banquet.

411
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: Amazing, And I mean we didn't have anyone in the running.

412
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: So I'm like, yeah, I'm riding with Megan Keller like

413
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: Kellor for Kaz and Keller we Trust.

414
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: So you know, she has a great group of friends.

415
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: There's a ton of Boston College Eagles out netting for

416
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: the last week or so, cheering assan and stuff. So

417
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,960

418
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: get to in an event, they bring it and I

419
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: always like, there's been a few times where they've been

420
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: at our like post event celebrations and I'll grab it

421
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: and wear like a cape and run around with it.

422
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: So the people are throwing, you know, America plagus over

423
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: and someone sees it. Think Caleb Barnes, I have seen it.

428
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: where did that come from? That is so perfect? So

429
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: you got your metal. It's emotional. The team is locked

430
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: in arms like having this moment, and you also get

431
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: a tina, which I don't know if you know this,

432
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: but is it impossible to get. They're going for hundreds

433
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: of dollars back home on eBay already. Alex and I

434
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,879

435
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,639

436
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,440

Speaker 1: that we wanted to try buy it off of so

438
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,160

439
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: to everyone else here at the Games.

440
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no's I remember in Beijing too. I think

441
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: it was Bing Gwen Win. That's the same thing. Like

442
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: it's the craze of the mascots. They're just so beloved

443
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: and when you see them at an event, to see

444
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: the people swarm the live mascot, that's me.

449
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'd be like, so you don't want that then,

450
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: is what you're saying you don't want it?

451
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 2: I held on to some people like put theirs on

452
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: the bench of like we'll get those like, you know,

453
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: organized them like and I'm making sure minds getting into

454
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: my hockey bag.

455
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Got to take a quick break more with Kelly. Right

456
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: after this, after the game, you said of this group

457
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: of players, they're quote the best hockey team that women's

458
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: hockey has ever seen, And you also said, quote it's

459
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: amazing sitting on the bench and watching players that are

460
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: just historic in their own way and the way that

461
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: everyone came together. I was thinking about that. I was

462
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: thinking about how every single player on Team USA is

463
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: a star for their team, their protein, their college team,

464
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: but they might have a different role here. And I

465
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: wonder how Robo your coach, and Hillary your captain, and

466
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: the other assistant captains got everyone to buy into their role,

467
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: especially if it was a lesser one.

468
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: Here it kind of goes back to not just this event.

469
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: So for US, Robo has been our coach since INNIKI

470
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: started August of twenty twenty two, so right after Beijing,

471
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 2: And that's something I think that he's always I think

472
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 2: shown value in is Hey, we might have people that

473
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 2: are powerplay and then people at are penalty killers.

474
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: If you're doing your job, you're doing your job.

475
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: Same thing if you're a penalty killer, right, If you're

476
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: someone who is expected to go out there and score,

477
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: you better go score. If you're someone there that's expected

478
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: to not get scored on, do that job too. And

479
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: then I also just think when you have people I

480
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: mean like Kendall Coin Scholfield, right, like you know, getting

481
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: to see her day in and day out in Minnesota

482
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: with the Frost and knowing this about her and seeing it,

483
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: you know in years past two is she just does

484
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: everything right every single day, Like she just makes the

485
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 2: right decision. She's she's genuine with people, She's present with people.

486
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: She is always doing what's right to recover, to prepare,

487
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: to train, wait room, taking care of a child, like

488
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: doing all I mean for the last however many years

489
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: before to create a literally literally and then even when

490
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 2: league started, she's a president of the PA and she's

491
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 2: doing things that you know, people literally like how she

492
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: does that?

493
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

494
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: And then for her, any single time she's asked to

495
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: go on the ice, she's gonna do her job. So

496
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: she's someone who like I look at and like, if

497
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: there's there's no role too small for Kendall, there's no

498
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: role too small for me.

499
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you look at Christin O'Neil. I think she

500
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: got like six minutes of playing time in that game

501
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: and scored a goal yeah for Canada. Yeah. So like

502
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: you can come in with fresh legs, you can come

503
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: in with perspective from watching that maybe the people on

504
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: the ice don't have, and that can be I can't

505
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: remember what the US women's national soccer team calls their

506
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: substitutes game changers. If you try to call them substitutes,

507
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: they say, no, game changers. And it's it's a way

508
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: of looking at it that you can really embody that

509
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: role as opposed to seeing it as less than in

510
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: any way exactly.

511
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: I think hockey is really special in that that you

512
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: get to put people out there for specific reasons. Yeah,

513
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: so it's again situation situational. You can like when that

514
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: whistle happens, or even hey, we know that we're gonna

515
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: have a six on five or a five on six.

516
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: These are the people that we want to have out there.

517
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's again it because shows like whenever

518
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: anyone jumped over that bench, no one's questioning why they're

519
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: going off there.

520
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: You mentioned coach robo I. Today was the first time

521
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: I saw the video of his reaction to the win.

522
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: Have you watched it yet? I have? Yeah, I've seen it. Wow.

523
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: We what did that mean to? Yeah?

524
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: I think it says a lot about how hard he's worked.

525
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: I think he's always I feel like thinking about ways

526
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 2: that our team can adjust speak things here or there,

527
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: How can we optimize things, and it's a lot of work,

528
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 2: I think for everyone that's a part of you know,

529
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 2: our team, from players to staff to support staff, coaching staff.

530
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 2: It's a lot of time away from your family. They're

531
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: the same place as we are when we're in the

532
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: middle of nowhere Canada usually you know, in Edmonton when

533
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: it's freezing cold, they're there too. And I think it's

534
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: just that same you know emotion where you have the

535
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: belief that you're going to get the job done, but

536
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: you're also putting everything you can to get the job done,

537
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: and there's element that's not in your control, you know,

538
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: as a coach, like there's a lot that you can control,

539
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: but you're not the one out there making plays. So

540
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: I think it's just a testament to how much care

541
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: he has for what he does. And also, you know,

542
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: for everything that this team has been through.

543
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: Who went the hardest at the after party?

544
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: Oh gosh hard, that's a hard question. I think everyone

545
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: was on the same same page that you know, night

546
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 2: after we won. I think you're just kind of like

547
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 2: everyone's doing everything. People are getting drug tested and that's

548
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: always like the worst things. Yeah, it's better when after

549
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 2: you win. Yeah, for sure, but it's it's like just

550
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: so tough because like all you want to do is

551
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 2: like be in lockers for like waiting, I think, I mean,

552
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 2: and then you have the mixed owne which everyone wants

553
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: to talk to, you know, a lot of the same

554
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: people too, so they have to like I think we

555
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: waited for Hillary to like before he popped the champagne.

556
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: Then she had to run to do drug.

557
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: Testing and they're like, we're getting a lot of champagne

558
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 2: but no drugs.

559
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well she's like, I can't drink any of this, yeah, man.

560
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: So it was fun.

561
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: And then getting you know, back to the tbsa winter

562
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 2: house with our friends and family. It's most people listening

563
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: haven't been to this building, and it's there's a lot

564
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: of like nooks and crannies to it, so you're kind

565
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: of like popping in and out and trying to like

566
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: see people and be with your family and friends too.

567
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: So I feel like everyone was no one was like

568
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: to too banged up. When we did the Today Show,

569
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: they were, honestly I think, getting on us because they're

570
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: like the women's soccer team after they'd go metal.

571
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: They were really in a bad spot.

572
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 2: Yes, And I was like, okay, but maybe that's just

573
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: because we can handle it better, I don't know.

574
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: Interesting. Interesting, I'm also curious how many hours between there

575
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: were to drink that's true, because I feel like your

576
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: game was so late. We didn't get out of that

577
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: stadium till two am past two am too, because we

578
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: recorded and we did stuff after and so y'all, by

579
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: the time you got to the party probably had it

580
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: fewer hours to pound it than the soccer team. I

581
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: think had a little more time. Right a daytime game,

582
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: So how light did it go to the party?

583
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: You had to get on our bus at like two

584
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 2: thirty to go back to the village, and then from

585
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: there we're like trying to figure out where we're gonna

586
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 2: bounce her out.

587
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: Hour in the village too.

588
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: It was actually, I don't know if I'm supposed to

589
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: say this, but I'm gonna say it. The men's hockey

590
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: team left us some beverages. We have a kind of

591
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: sha rise, so they found a way to you know,

592
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: help us out there. But yeah, then we're trying to

593
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: like figure it out, and yeah, you're trying to mix it.

594
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: The hard part is, honestly you're mixing in like post

595
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: game drinks with eating, and I think some like for

596
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: me personally, like I didn't really eat that much, so

597
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm really tired, I'm but then I'm also wired. Yeah,

598
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: I had a few Express and martinis, so I'm like

599
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: it was something.

600
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: I love that they left your little care package to

601
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: make sure you could go after it. That's great. It

602
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: was like three hours of sleep, I think. Yeah, did

603
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: it feel different at these Olympics because of the PWHL

604
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: because a lot of the people you're playing against are

605
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: actually teammates now that you're seeing year round instead of

606
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: just at the Olympics and World Championships. Yeah, it's hard

607
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: to say.

608
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 2: I think like here, I don't think it felt different

609
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: for the Frost. We don't have any Canadians on our team.

610
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Now.

611
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: We had sof and Claire Thompson, but so you know him.

612
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: But it's it's so easy to like, honestly, when we

613
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: walk by him, it's so funny because like you just

614
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: don't even make eye contact.

615
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: It's like I'm staying there. They don't look like. So

616
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: the end of your sentence was it's so easy to

617
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: just start hating them again. Yeah, no, really, it truly is.

618
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: So it'll be it'll be interesting.

619
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: I think going back is where I think we'll see

620
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: some I don't know it, just like I don't know

621
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: what to expect. I think it's unprecedented to have to

622
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 2: go back. Maybe we've done it with World Championships, but

623
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: to go back after an Olympics, it is just everything

624
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 2: is heavier. So it'll be it'll be interesting to see

625
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: how the end of the season shakes up.

626
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Tougher for the teams where there's a handful of each,

627
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: maybe tougher for like the Victoire where their head coach

628
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: was on the staff for Team Canada and now has

629
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: to get back to players. There's a few different waste

630
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: to look about it.

631
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: Like I remember after we lost the World Championship in

632
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: Utica so at home, which it always is way worse

633
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: like to lose at home when you know it's there's

634
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: only so many times you get to wear a USA

635
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: jersey at home, and losing that, I remember coming back

636
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: to the season and just being like, well, we got

637
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: to win this now, like I'm not going.

638
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: Through losing to do these things.

639
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: And so I think there's a there's also an easy

640
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: way to kind of flip that and you know, find

641
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: motivation and ultimately like it is, it's a good distraction

642
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 2: in a way too, to be able to just like, well,

643
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: ripped the banded off, we gotta go right back to

644
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 2: it versus I know how it's felt to lose and

645
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: have to sit and wait an entire season to be like, well, okay,

646
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: I'm not shit with this now.

647
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the athlete village and partying back there.

648
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: Alex and I took a little visit early in the

649
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: games and we noticed that the giant poster out front

650
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: of the dining hall is the Canadian women's hockey team

651
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: celebrating a win. How about that? Yeah, I just had

652
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: to walk past that every meal.

653
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was smart the I'd like,

654
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if like when Canada said, are they

655
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: like pumped?

656
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: I mean we see it and we're.

657
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: Like like no, we're not, like I can't so I hope.

658
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 2: I mean in four years they're not like trying to

659
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: flip that and right, I think you got a request

660
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: not to have that there. It's just it's a free

661
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: boltimore material. Three to four times a day.

662
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I have a lot of photos with

663
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: the middle finger. Yeah, like walking by you know how

664
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 1: did the Olympics. We really admired how you spoke about

665
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Alex Pretty's death at the hands of ice. You did

666
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: it during a Minnesota Frost press conference and you said,

667
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: but what I'm most proud to represent is the tens

668
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: of thousands of people that show up on some of

669
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: the coldest days of the year to stand and fight

670
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: for what they believe in. I wonder if it felt

671
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: different representing Team USA at this Olympics than previous.

672
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: I don't think it felt different in the sense that,

673
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's really fair for Americans say

674
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't like what's happening, right. I think that's a

675
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: really fair thing to say. And it's weird because for athletes,

676
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: I feel like we're kind of trained to accel at

677
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: our sport to be in your bubble, right, and you

678
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: hear a lot of team sports talking about, you know,

679
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: sticking in our bubble. The voices that matter are the

680
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: ones in our room. But it's also I think you

681
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: can't ignore everything, and I don't think it's healthy to

682
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 2: ignore everything. I don't think it's I think it's important

683
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: to be aware of what's going on. And I think

684
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: it's also really fair to be like I don't like

685
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: what's happening, and I think what's felt maybe different is

686
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: how many athletes have felt comfortable sharing that on this

687
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: platform and you know, getting you know, a lot of support.

688
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: I think that was one of the things about after

689
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: I had that press conference, I heard for more people

690
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: reaching out to me, like appreciating my message about that

691
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 2: than I think when I made the Olympic team, graduating me. Yeah,

692
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,239
Speaker 2: so I think I have to do yeah, And I think, well,

693
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: I think it just as a testament to like, you know,

694
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: what sport can do for people. I think a lot

695
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 2: of times like it's an entertainment business, right, I mean

696
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 2: I think as an athlete, where like we like to

697
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: make it bigger than it is. But at the end

698
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: of the day, like we exist because someone thinks that

699
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: we will help give them money by putting people in

700
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: seats or watching a TV to support us.

701
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: Right.

702
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 2: But I think it's again like how lucky are we

703
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: when I look back and you know, Beijing of with COVID,

704
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: I mean we look at that as an athlete in

705
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: that experience, that was hard, right, Like that was a

706
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: hard Olympics to be in. I feel I really feel

707
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: for people that that was their only only Olympic experience.

708
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: Just the stress of the games, you know, the COVID

709
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: testing to get there, while you're there, just the lack

710
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: of you know, togetherness that it felt being there. But

711
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: then you take a step out and you're like, but

712
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: at least we get to be here and what you

713
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 2: gave people who needed something and you get people that

714
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: you know, something to to still cheer for and to

715
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: still root for and to still you know, sit and

716
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: google when they're watching, and you know, again meet different

717
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: people through through their stories.

718
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: Well, like you said, it's entertainment, but then your voice

719
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: carries such a weight because you're in a platform that

720
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: people can see, and so when you say stuff, it

721
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: matters and it inspires people. You know, I'm wondering we

722
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: write your first couple of games that Jade Vance was at,

723
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: did he try to come in the locker room and

724
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: was there any conversation with the team about whether or

725
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: not that's something that you wanted or would be a distraction?

726
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't ever like present it to our team.

727
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: I think what's really interesting is with the team sport,

728
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: you you can't assume, but an individual athlete, Hey, I

729
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 2: consider here and say this is what I believe, this

730
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: is what I would do, That's what I don't want

731
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: to do. This af that in a way, I think

732
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: ultimately our team historically has been very you know, pushing

733
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: women's sports forward, pushing women's hockey forward, and I think

734
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: that's something that you know, personally, I'm glad it didn't happen. Yeah,

735
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 2: I think that, you know, I got a bunch of

736
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: us got asked about it after the game, and I

737
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: was like, I didn't even know he was there. Don't

738
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: really care. You guys want to make that a story

739
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: goal for it, but that's not really associated with us.

740
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to your point, like that's especially hockey culture

741
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: is like team first, calling everybody in and pushing toward

742
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: the same thing and not about like these things that

743
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: can separate you. We saw you in the stands on

744
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: Friday for Brittany Bow's last race. You went with Hillary,

745
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: her fiance, of course, and Hillary was named the flag Bear,

746
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: got engaged one gold named the flag Bear. Will you

747
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: all be walking with her in Verona? Oh? Yeah, no,

748
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: well we'll all be there. We're super excited for her.

749
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: It was she I had known that, like she had

750
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: a ring here, Oh you did? I did?

751
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: I knew and so we were laud We had some

752
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: funny jokes because she was like, what how do you

753
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: think she knew she wanted to do it? Here?

754
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: How do you do it? And We're like going back

755
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: and forth and like, lad did rivalry style on the ice,

756
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: like call Brittany from this stand? She was like not that.

757
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: But after they got engaged, like I knew she was

758
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: leaving to go propose and she comes back and she

759
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 2: was like okay. She was like so relieved because obviously

760
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: very nerve wracking, like experienced to do. And then she

761
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: was like, okay, do you think that, Like do you

762
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: think the girls will be mad if like we post

763
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: about it or like because the hard part was like, well,

764
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: we have a game, Like it's timing of everything she

765
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: knna wanted to be And I'm like, Hillary, I guarantee

766
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: you everyone's just gonna be really excited for you. Like

767
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: we're all like so we were, and I was laughing.

768
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, a secure one win first? Like that

769
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: was smart smart most and it was honestly, it's more

770
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: of the same. I think we all wanted her to

771
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: be really rooting for her to be the opening ceremonies

772
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: flay bear, but I think for her to get the

773
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: honor to be, you know, the closing ceremonies as well.

774
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: Like she's not the loudest person. Again, like even that

775
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: question of like I don't want my engagement to be

776
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: a distraction to people, and you're like, well no, it's not, no,

777
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,959
Speaker 2: you please, same thing, like we're really glad you scored

778
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: because you gave us the chance to win. Also really

779
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: glad you scored because you broke her record, Like we

780
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: want that for you, and so now we're really excited

781
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: to I was like, we gotta get in front. We're

782
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: gonna be right behind you.

783
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: And I heard the locker room played Marry Me when

784
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: she came in. After that. She loves attention too, so

785
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: she was she was like okay enough, yeah, you know,

786
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: after the game, she said, we'll see when she asked

787
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: if it was her last Olympic goal, and she was

788
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: equally sort of mere curial in the presser and I

789
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: was talking to her mom, and her mom kind of

790
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: left the door, Ajar, So what's your gut feeling on

791
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: whether she might come back for twenty thirty.

792
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: Nothing would surprise me with her because she that's I

793
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: feel like her entire career, she's evolved as a hockey player,

794
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: and I think as she's you know, a become more

795
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: experience I'm gonna say older, but more experienced, that's figuring

796
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: out different ways to be successful. And I mean, like

797
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: I want to put it past her, yea, she I

798
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: mean still getting it. She still gets she still gets

799
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: the job done. And so I think as long as

800
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: she wants to be the one that gets the job done,

801
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: she'll do it. And I think this point, what's for

802
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: all of us, Like you just never know when the

803
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: last time you gets to all played together is. And

804
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 2: that was I think the biggest sentiment, like for our

805
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: entire team was just like how lucky and how special

806
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: it is to be a part of this team, and

807
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: like how fun it is to play with each other.

808
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: And I think everyone you know as well, like playing

809
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: for Hillary. If that's going to be her last, so

810
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 2: let's make it, let's make it sick.

811
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, last couple questions because then I got a run.

812
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: So three weeks basically in the athlete Village for you

813
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: best and worst parts of dorm life?

814
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well it's dorm living. So I think that's

815
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 2: part of it. The beds are not the largest. Temper

816
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: control is hard. I mean you're in Europe still, so

817
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: like something about the thermostats here.

818
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: They don't love them no, or they don't give you one.

819
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: They're just like this is that's gonna be.

820
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: And it's it's noisy, like that's the so like you

821
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: have your window open and it's then there's a lot

822
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: like I we joke again, after some of those late games,

823
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: you're trying to wind down and go to bed and

824
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: it's like three am, and somehow you still hear a

825
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: cart on the cobblestone.

826
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Whether it's like taking.

827
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Out a trash or it's by the kitchen like whatever

828
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: it is, you just hear the and you're like, okay,

829
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: so I'm just gonna be hot tonight, but I'm gonna

830
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: close this window. The best part, though, I think, is

831
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: you get to sit in the little Athlete launch you

832
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: have an rtmusa building and you know, sit next to

833
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: Ilia and watch a random hockey game with him, and

834
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: you get to like cheer for other people and be

835
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: a fan. That's something that like I don't I'm not

836
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: going to a ton of sporting events in my free time.

837
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: So getting to do that is really is really fun.

838
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: But it's then being able to see the athletes and

839
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: you're you're teammates outside of your own you know, you know,

840
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 2: discipline and get to you know, congratulate them and see

841
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: him in the dining hall and.

842
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Anyone in particular you were excited to see in the

843
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: village from like a different country or from your team.

844
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: It was really funny when the NHL guys got to

845
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: the village and like the Canadian guys that were there

846
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: for like a day or whatever it was. I mean,

847
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: but how many people like went to stop McDavid or

848
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 2: Crosby or like Austin Matthews another one where they stand out,

849
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: Like it's the same way our team stands out because

850
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: we're usually traveling in a big pack or other other

851
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: disciplines you travel.

852
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: In two or three. Yeah exactly.

853
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 2: So for that you just see him and then you

854
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: have a different build right, Like it's a very like

855
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: we again laugh with the speed skaters that they're like

856
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: BRIT's like Britt has the upper bodies, not not like

857
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: in the training program as much, but I heard like

858
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: they're but that was like they're getting they're staying there

859
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: staying long.

860
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Palcasol was there the day we were there, and like, yeah,

861
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: there's no one even close. No. So, like the NBA

862
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: guys never stay in their athlete village and when they

863
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: pop in, it is like people are dying to meet them.

864
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: People who are the best in the world at what

865
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: they do, like lose their shit, yeah, or Siman Biles. Right,

866
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: there's certain people that stand out. Right to william someone

867
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: told us, Oh, I saw her in the village and

868
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: they were like, I'm supposed to be like you, but

869
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: I can't be. I have to like go up and

870
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, it's right. What's you like

871
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: a gigs?

872
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 2: I'm like, we's got a picture with Serena Williams twenty teen,

873
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, I want to get a picture.

874
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah's sick. That's awesome. Who's your roommate?

875
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,240
Speaker 2: So this is the one thing, maybe only answer about

876
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: the hardest thing is this is the first time of

877
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 2: the three Olympics I've been out where it's the really

878
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: truly dorm style. So there's singles and there's doubles, and

879
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: our team actually had a lot of singles and so

880
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 2: I was in a single, which I was lucky because

881
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 2: the rooms are just tight, like they're small. But that's

882
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: part of the fun, is like vised to both of

883
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: my other experiences, you had like rooms within an apartment. Yeah, right,

884
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 2: so you had that kind of common Spacequada School, Yeah,

885
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 2: and that's like that's the best, so you feel like

886
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: you're in college.

887
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I liked it. Oh my god, the quad stressed me

888
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: out if I was trying to get some rest in

889
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: my roommate had a different schedule.

890
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: No, but like there were space like your apartments okay, okay, yeah. Beijing,

891
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: everyone had their own room, so like you had a door,

892
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: you close it. And in twenty eighteen and pyong Chang

893
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,399
Speaker 2: there was I think we had an apartment with five

894
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: people and like Minicle Hensley shared a room and then

895
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 2: we were with other people whatever. So you like, yeah,

896
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 2: you're used to we used to having roommates, but it's

897
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 2: just having that like kind of common space, Like that's

898
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 2: where Shenanigans get up to. So now we just are

899
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 2: all like have our doors open in the hallway all

900
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: the time.

901
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: Right, Because when you travel when you're older, you want

902
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: to do airbnb's instead of hotels because you want all

903
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: the little downtime together too, not just the fun that

904
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: you go out and do, but making coffee and breakfast

905
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: in the morning with each other and all that. The debriefs.

906
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: We're all about the debriefs. Yes, what's the best thing

907
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: you learned out of a debrief here? That'd be good? Gossip, breakups, makeups?

908
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: What do you tell? I can't my my helps are

909
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: shield on that one. All right? I tried, all right,

910
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: read us I share it so like I can't. I

911
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: can't say anything there, message board users, Reddit users, I

912
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: tried for you. Okay, last two, what's the first thing

913
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna do when you get home?

914
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, I don't even know what time I land,

915
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 2: what time it is in the US. Hopefully sleep in

916
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: my bad. I'm so excited for that, and maybe closely.

917
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 2: Second is like get to Chipotle or something. I feel

918
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: like I've had the posse here has been really good.

919
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 2: Like obviously can't complain.

920
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: But I'm passive. Same five ingredients, so I am positive.

921
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 1: Whenever I go home from Italy, I just start eating

922
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 1: like Thai food instantly, exactly. I just want something different. Yeah, okay,

923
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: you've won it every level. We've talked about this before.

924
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: Olympic World PWHL College like every single possible way to win.

925
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: So you've collabed with Fulton Beer. You had a beer

926
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: called Ben There, won that, then you released another after

927
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: you won again. Ben There won that again, and now

928
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: the third in the series, Been There won that two

929
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: time gold medal championship. Shandy a very specific name. Little

930
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: parties stocked with that. When you get home, do you

931
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: have friends and family that want to get together and

932
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: throw something for you when you get back? Yeah, I

933
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: don't know.

934
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: I actually had a lot of family here, which is

935
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: really fun. I have a big immediate family and one

936
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 2: of four kids and so they were all here. But

937
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: then my aunts, mout and uncles and cousins come and yeah,

938
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 2: when we get back, I have no idea, but if

939
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 2: there is a part, that beer will be there. Fulton

940
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 2: has been, you know, so great to me and it's

941
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: been really fun to work with them, and again just

942
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: another way to kind of amplify women's sports and celebrate it,

943
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: which that's kind of been the mission with that beer.

944
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just it's it's.

945
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: Getting hard though, because they keep winning. It feels like

946
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: they keep making me a beer and then it's like, well,

947
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 2: look at this asshole, Like she's just he's doing this,

948
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,760
Speaker 2: like he's introducing more beers, like it's like a target

949
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: on your back. And no, that's why it's creating on

950
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 2: a tea sports and be like, well, it's not my fault.

951
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: I just happen to be on these teams.

952
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: That's so true. And you know what the good news is,

953
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: if you lose, you can create a beer that drowns

954
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: your sorrow. Yeah, exactly.

955
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: Yet that's where I used to say it in college.

956
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 2: And one of my college teamates texan me, but it

957
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 2: was we lost the national championship and we're saying the

958
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 2: jar screaming no more tears only beers. That's so my

959
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: college teammates texted me, never tears only beers.

960
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: Tears only beers. Well, I don't want you to lose anything,

961
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: but if you do, you've got the name of your

962
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: fourth beer. Yeah, never tears only beers. Shandy. Yeah, well

963
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: I love shandy and a party, So if you have one,

964
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: let me know. We'll pop on over from Chicago. Thanks

965
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: so much for sitting with us again. This was so

966
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: fun to hear your perspective on all this and just congratulations.

967
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: This is my favorite Olympic moment. Yeah, perfect, Thank you.

968
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: Thanks again to Kelly for sitting down with us in Milan.

969
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: That girl's got a future in media or coaching or

970
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: politics or really whatever the hell she wants. What a

971
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: winner of a human. We got to take another break.

972
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: When we come back, everyone watches women's hockey. Welcome back slices.

973
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: We told you in our episode where we recapped Team

974
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: USA's hockey win that the women's game wasn't considered high

975
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: demand while the men's hockey gold medal game was, And

976
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: how that's about media requests, not about the value or

977
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: quality of the competition. Well, I wanted to give a

978
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: little more context. So the men's game Sunday afternoon was

979
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: basically unopposed. It was the last and only event in Milan,

980
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: so every media member still at the games might have

981
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: requested a credit. The women's final, on the other hand,

982
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: was up against women's figure skating and curling in Milan.

983
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,479
Speaker 1: So it's not about whether or not the women's hockey

984
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: gold medal game is a big deal. It's about whether

985
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: or not there are media members trying to get in

986
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have room. Now. One of the reasons for

987
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: that is, of course, the timing, so we ran into

988
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: front of the show and Women's hockey great Angela Razio

989
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: at the Team USA winterhouse when we were there for

990
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: our interview with Kelly, and Angela pointed out how frustrating

991
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: it is that the games always ends with the men's

992
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: hockey final, and that you really hope they'd finally put

993
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: the women's final last at the twenty thirty Olympics. Fingers crossed,

994
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: and the number certainly shows that the audience would be

995
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: there if they did. Per Front Office Sports USA, Canada,

996
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: Women's hockey on Thursday midday on a weekday back home,

997
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: by the way, set a new viewership record for women's hockey.

998
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: The combined USA Peacock audience peaked at seven point seven

999
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: million and averaged five point three million viewers. Pretty damn good.

1000
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: Here's hope in the next Olympics closes with the women's game.

1001
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: We always love that you're listening, but we want to

1002
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: get in the game every day too. So here's our

1003
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 1: good game play of the day. If we've got any

1004
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: slices out there with ties to a car dealership or

1005
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: maybe an automobile sponsorship person is listening, our girl, Kelly

1006
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 1: Panic is a neda some wheels. We were chatting with

1007
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: her team after our interview, and it turns out she

1008
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: got in a car accident just before the Games, not

1009
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: her fault, and thankfully she was uninjured, but unfortunately her

1010
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: car got totaled. So if you want to work out

1011
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: a sponsorship deal, maybe get your car dealership some love,

1012
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,600
