Felger and Mass on 985, the Sports Hub. This was such an incredible game to grind out. I mean, you're bleeding right through it, just looking at you right now. Can you just talk about how difficult this gold medal was to win? Unbelievable game by Hallibuck. He was our best player tonight by a mile. Unbelievable game. Unreal game by our

What does this gold medal mean to USA hockey? It's everything. Like I said, the USA Hockey Brotherhood means so much. Look at these guys. We're such a team. We've been in the eye for two weeks.

That's exactly how we wanted to go. We wanted to go through Canada and beat them.

Canada was the better team. The final two periods, it felt like the ice was tilted. But the bottom line is that this is part of the deal. You know, you keep the puck out of your net and find a way to extend it. I thought Eddie Oldcheck said something, I'll give you this. Eddie Oldcheck said something late in the game that I thought was dead on balls accurate to steal a line from my cousin Vinny.
