Jack Hughes, who is currently our favorite American around these parts.

Curtis brought it up during his lead this morning.

I hope the NHL takes advantage of the excitement about this and uses it when it comes to guys like Jack Hughes, guys that are on that team, who may not be as well known as some of the others

and takes advantage of it to market hockey because they got an opportunity here.

And Nathan McKinnon, like afterwards, with the sour grapes saying you be the judge of who the

better team was, sounds like a complete jackass

like the better team won the hockey game sorry about that take the hell like a man but like not

every time does the better team win the games like sometimes that just happens sometimes on that day

the other team is just better they played they made the right plays like charlie mackavoie makes that

play in the net like canada might be more, but they were not the better team in that game. But that's like, I don't know if these players that say that realize it's worse if it's that. Like you're saying you were the better team and you played like dog poo. Right. Right? So either way, you look like a jackass. And Nathan McKinney shouldn't say anything because he had a wide open net that probably would have, you know, could have been the goal that would have won the game for him, but he completely missed it. So he's one person that shouldn't be saying that, especially when you had an opportunity to take the lead in that game. I think it's a, you know, and we kind of talked about this a little bit.

Does this like make USA hockey and just like some of the young kids that are playing?

And, you know, you brought up the NHL players.

Like, does this not revitalize the game, but does this like create more interest in it when it comes to young kids playing it?

Like I hope it does.

Or does it just kind of go?

We live in an area where a lot of kids play hockey.

So we're not, we're not able to judge it because they don't in the rest of the country in a lot of places.

So I think it's great for the sport. It's great for the NHL. It's not going to make a gigantic change to who plays hockey. But it could if they took advantage of it. No, you don't think so? I don't think that kids don't want to play hockey. I think it's only available to a pretty small group considering the cost. Too expensive? And the region that you live in, I mean, it's not like you're driving through Phoenix playing hockey all at every corner. I mean, it's just like we've said that forever, Greg, like the women's professional league in Boston. Like it's, we do a sports radio show. Have we ever gotten a phone call about it? No. No. And it's not that it's bad or good. It's just it's very difficult to break through. And it's cool because it's USA versus, you know, Canada or other

places. But now once you go back to the National Hockey League, the people's interest in it

just kind of waver and being like, all right, I really have no

rooting factor in it. Like you said, I live in Arizona and I'm not like a fan of hockey.

But I do think, I mean, what that team did, their relationship with each other and their
