No, this means something.

It just doesn't mean as much as it should because of the stupidity of the Rules Committee in deciding a gold medal game in three on three.

So while I can be happy to US one, I'm not Rieger.

I don't have this hatred of Canadian.

I don't know how you hate a Canadian.

They're helpless.

I mean, they're lovely, but

they're helpless. If it wasn't for us, they'd be speaking Russian. And they're always sorry. Well, listen, I can't make fun of accents. I'm from... No, I'm just saying, Eric, sorry. Sorry. But look, I just want to know if the hockey elite is willing to stand up for itself. That game needed to be five-on-five over time, and the three-on-three makes it feel a little cheap. And the tickets Xers somehow turn that into Kenny's ugly. I don't know what's saying. Maybe because we're making a good point, they can't argue it, so they just lash out. I don't know. We'll go to Steve and Detroit, Betts lead off today. Stevie, what's the good word, buddy? Oh, guys, good to talk to you. I want to apologize. My voice has gone from yesterday. Big shout out to Jay's penalty box for their amazing service at 8 a.m. in Ferndale. Love you guys. I got two quick succinct points I'm going to make. Mike, about your comments. Second, if you give me

time, I want to talk about Larkin real quick. First thing, Mike, absolutely, I agree with you. It should have been five on five. Absolutely. That's the way it should always be determined. That said, I have to push back on you. If you're going to say that this doesn't taste as sweet, the reason and it doesn't taste as sweet, maybe because Crosby didn't play.

He broke my heart in 2009. He broke our hearts in 2010 in the Olympics. You wanted to. I wanted to get that field. Yeah. You know what? It's kind of like if the Pistons make the NBA finals, you want the Knicks as a part of it. There's a hatred there. You need them. Yes. However, I didn't hear complaining about four-on-four.

I didn't check the archives of 97-1 in 2010, but we played four-and-four O-T back then,

and I don't remember complaining about Canada winning that time.

So, you know...

I don't remember 2010.

I'll take your word for it.

I'm just telling you what this feels like.

Three-on-three is abject silliness.

You're right.

However, Mike, my other pushback would be, it kind of does taste a little sweet,

because if you remember who was on the ice for that three-on-three,

the three greatest players in the world,

Nate McKinnon, McDavid, and McCar.
