Main Street Bank member FDIC Equal Housing Opportunity Lender. We thank you for tuning in this Monday morning, February 23rd, 2026. I'm John Paul Flame, joined by Jason Bishop. The sir. What's up. Johnny Cake Sawville's here. Hello, everyone. And Eric Bickle. Good morning. Good morning. That is the foursome later in the program. Our pal Alan May is going to join us.

Capitals and NHL analysts for monumental sports.

He'll join us at 9 o'clock as we start looking ahead towards the caps, sprint towards

the playoffs, hopefully, and get into the Olympic hockey game, which was awesome game. Yeah, tough day for Al-May. He wasn't happy about it. Is he a rough day for Al-Man? Was he tweeting about it? I was texting him back and forth. He thought it was a great game, but he was, you know, he's a Canadian. Yeah, I mean, they kind of dominated play. They really did. I mean, you see shots on goal, those stats? Oh, crazy. That's fine. Hallibuck was up to the task. He was incredible.

He was incredible. They really did. I mean, you see shots on goal, those stats. Oh, of course. That's fine. It was a...

Hellibuck was up to the task.

He was an amazing game. I had never heard of Hellabuck. You'd never heard of him? I mean, where does he rank in terms of goalies in the NHL? Is he one of the top? He's pretty high. Is he? Yeah. Didn't know who we went. I've heard of

almost every player.

Now I know who you're aware.

I said this last week,

and it worked out for the Americans. I hadn't heard of almost every player. Now I know who you. Now you're aware. I said this last

week and it worked out for the Americans, but the three on three endings a joke. It's not great,

but look, it was the same format for the Canadians as it was for the Americans. I understand.

Sorry, not going to apologize for winning the gold medal. No, no, I'm not going to apologize

for it at all. It's a terrible day for all Canadians. I said it beforehand. It's a joke. I heard John Cooper, now he's the losing coach, say afterwards. He's like, we don't do this in the NHL playoffs. You don't do it at the Stanley Cup finals. Rules are rules. It's not hockey. These are the rules of this format in the Olympics. But I said this last week. It's not NHL hockey. It's a big winner. The Americans. I said this last week. The World Cup ends in a weird, in a shootout sometimes. Fine. It's a weird bit. You know what? Not crying for Canadians. If you're so good, win it in regulation. It just allows.
