0:06.0

Yes, we do have texts.

Somebody said that they would take a bronze just for a chance to beat Canada,

0:11.7

even though structurally that's not exactly possible.

0:14.0

Right.

0:14.6

I guess beating Canada.

0:16.8

This is quickly turning into the, is it a successful season if you beat ohio state for a michigan

0:21.9

fan being a u.s fan or a canadian fan beating the opposite side yeah people especially on the

0:29.2

canadian side of this debate Canadians really want to see bullets put in america um and they want to be

0:36.6

the ones to do it they want to see their team squash the bug. So they don't want to step over the dead body. No, they don't want to step up. They want to be the one stepping on the dead body, killing the dead body. They'll snicker if the United States lose, but they want to, they want to. So they're a country full of rigors. Yeah. I think that's fair. bigger,. In terms of this, otherwise, very friendly people. I don't know what Hatchett's beef with them is. He seems to really hate them. That was really weird. I know. Him and Rieger, whatever it is. Right. But Hatchett is a man of the cloth. Rieger is a man of the chew.

1:11.9

Something happened on when the hatches trip. So we'll just leave it at that. I don't know what, but let's just leave it at that. Definitely want best on best. I want to see the best hockey. I can't see that. I agree with that. That's typically how I feel about it. The Canadian men have owned hockey. if you're going to win a gold medal,

1:27.3

it's got to be from them.

1:28.4

2:09.0

Wow.

2:09.5

Red Wings Cup.

2:10.3

We were even asking, you know, Red Wings make the playoffs or United States not metal.

2:15.5

So for them not the medal, they would have to lose today and then lose to Finland in the bronze medal game. Which is a crazy take, by the way. I would take a wing Stanley Cup over. Oh, I don't think everybody. Yeah. Not that guy. Yeah, I know. Ivor. What's going on, buddy? Hey, Stoney. Rika, how are you guys doing? Hey, man.
