Summary
The voice of USA Hockey, Kenny Albert, joins Stugotz fresh off calling the gold medal game in Milan to share what the moment was like as Team USA captured Olympic glory, where the call ranks in his career, and how he processed it all in real time. They also debate whether Mike Sullivan should consider retiring before returning to a last-place New York Rangers team, reflect on the emotional impact of the late Johnny Gaudreau on this squad, break down how the roster was constructed to win on the international stage, and much more from Albert's time in Italy.
