  • Dan and Chris are recording from Milan with “boots on the ground,” describing the very real and wild Olympic atmosphere.
  • They emphasize that TV coverage doesn’t do justice to the electricity and stress on site.

  • Canada House is popping with speed skating golds, hockey victories, Olympians mixing with fans.
  • The stress, joy, and anxiety is palpable as games cross over and spill into each other.

2. Game-By-Game Breakdown

A. Germany vs. Slovakia

• Germany’s Olympic Run:

  • Hosts give “stick taps” to a gutsy, top-heavy German squad who made noise but ultimately fell.
  • Highlights on Leon Draisaitl’s resilience, Tim Stützle’s emotion after elimination.

• Slovakia’s Cinderella Story:

  • Initial surprise at Slovakia running Finland, then realizing Slovakia “never flinched.”
  • Juraj Slafkovsky’s highlight-reel 1-on-1 move vs. Draisaitl gets big props.

  “Who gives you the right? Who gives you the right to do this? And they go, we do. We make the rules up in this bitch...” — Chris (07:10)

  • Dalibor Dvorský (St. Louis Blues) lauded: youngest Slovak with a four-game point streak at the Olympics, leading all Blues in Olympic points.

• Timestamps:

  • Slovakia praise 06:26-10:24

B. Finland vs. Switzerland ("For Kevin")

• Wildest emotional swings. Swiss nearly pull the upset despite missing their star Kevin Fiala.

  • Swiss fans: “all-time, all-time singing.”
  • At 2-0 Switzerland, Canada fans were eyeing a much-easier semifinal opponent, but Finland storms back late.

• Finland’s Grit:

  • “Dogs,” unexpected run without Barkov—Aho, Heskianen, and especially Artturi Lehkonen deliver late.

  “It’s just crazy when you open the fucking gate and the top dogs run out. That is what you want!” — Dan (20:54)

• Hosts debate whether Finland were “chalk” or “surprise” (Dan insists it’s chalk).

• Timestamps:

  • “For Kevin” Swiss run / Finland comeback: 11:20–18:28
  • Debate on Finland’s status: 18:28–20:16

C. Canada vs. Czechia: The Heart Attack Game

• Opening minutes:

  • Canada rolls early; Macklin Celebrini scores (sets record for Olympics points by a teenager, >Malkin).
  • “If you let Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini combine on a goal in the first five minutes, you are now—it’s going to be 10-0.” — Chris (25:24)

• Czech Pushback:

  • Czechia’s big names (Pastrnak, Nečas) generate offense, game tied 2-2. Host feels Canada’s depth will win out—until disaster hits.

• Sidney Crosby Injury:

  • Sid takes awkward hits, tries to push through, but is ruled out at the second intermission. Hosts (and Canada House) go into full panic mode.

  “He was doing the plank walk... it looks like there’s a steel rod down his... Like, he was, like, waving the leg outwards, which always makes me nervous.” — Dan (33:27)

• Palát puts Czechia ahead (chaos!):

  • Canada House falls utterly silent.
  • Turns out Czechia had six men on the ice during the go-ahead goal. “Andy Dufresne walked right out of the prison...”

  “There are six men on the ice. In the goal celebration. There are six men...” — Dan (36:26)

• Nick Suzuki’s Heroics:

  • Monster shift by Suzuki, stays on after line change, outworks everyone to tie the game.

  “One of the best top to bottom 200 foot shifts you will ever see.” — Dan (39:52)

  • Vindication for Suzuki as fans had been chirping him online.

• Binnington Steals OT:

  • Jordan Binnington comes up HUGE late in the third and OT, stoning all Czech chances (“unconscious goaltending” 41:40–44:57).

• OT: Mitch Marner the hero:

  • Marner scores a tough backhand after a strong individual play, snaps Canadian-dread.

  “Everyone in Czechia is like, Dostal, you played out of your mind. Also, man, shut your mouth on a backhand.” — Dan (43:09)

  • OT: 42:32–44:38

  • Hosts are dual US/Sweden, watch in Canada House. USA has not beaten Sweden in Olympics since 1960 (53:28).

  • “Felt like 2011 Game 7 Boston-Tampa” (scoreless): pure, flowing, low-penalty, high-skill hockey.

• Larkin Breaks Through, US Tenses Up:

  • Dylan Larkin, “America’s Destiny,” scores a huge tip. Hosts go into statistical tributes and emotional soliloquy.

  “That whole shift from him was unbelievable…” — Dan (59:02)

  • Host Chris: “We are so... The US had layers. I was like, this is. This sucks. I hate watching a 1-0 game where I’m so stressed because one bad bounce.”

• Sweden Ties Late:

  • Lucas Raymond (tournament’s preeminent playmaker) feeds Mika Zibanejad for a last-minute equalizer. Resigned collective agony/”it's over” text to family ensues.

• 3-on-3 OT:

  • Hosts hate the format for elimination but admit it makes for wild TV.
  • OT becomes the “Quinn Hughes show”—USA’s D-man commands the ice, dictates play, scores the walk-off winner with a picture-perfect wrister from the dot.

  “Team USA went, Quinn, take the... You take it.” — Chris (71:42)

  • Larkin, both Hughes brothers, Matthews and Eichel are cited as best Americans. Jacob Slavin lauded for “All-Father” defensive plays late.

• Timestamps:

  • “Who we playing, Rammer?” (superstitions/fan chat): 53:13
  • Larkin goal/shift: 59:02

Transcript

[Dan]

Welcome to the Empty Netters podcast.

[Chris]

Can you believe what this has become? There's a full 48 hours where I.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Felt like I was like literally Superman.

[Dan]

Jumbo loves playing Fortnite, so he gets on the sticks. Did TR show you the sauna cycle or was that already.

[Chris]

No, I invented that. Almost a year now that I haven't.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Taken a body check.

[Chris]

That's kind of nice.

[Dan]

So we are back. We are horned up and we are going deep.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Finished tonight with some chicken fingers and a few Guinnesses. Ran into you guys and that's where this pod came to life.

[Dan]

Ice is ready and we are live.

[Chris]

I think so we don't with another delay. I never know yet. It's going to come on in a second, hopefully, but we hope.

[Dan]

You just interrupted my whole thing.

[Chris]

We hope we're live.

[Dan]

We're hopeful we're live with another episode of the M2Nerdies podcast, brought to you by BetMGM. We are here. Boots on the ground. In Milan. We just watched four unbelievable games in the quarterfinals of the men's tournament. And to make it three, barn burner overtime tilts.

[Chris]

Oh, my God.

[Dan]

Dude, that had the blood pressure through the roof for so many fan bases. We started out with Canada absolutely out of control. Truly one of the biggest catastrophes that could have been that has ever happened in the hockey world. Then Finland, out of nowhere, the Swiss team coming through hashtag for Kevin, almost had an upset shutout against the Fins. The Swiss team was just buzzing around. And then USA Sweden capped it off for a night of true insanity. Three straight overtime games. Holy fucking shit, dude. C.P. we are here. We were just ripping it at the Hockey Canada house here in Milan. Boots on the ground. As I said, with a ton of the team Canada family, tons of other fans and people. We were hanging out with Seth Jarvis buddies, the good old Canada boys earlier today. It has been a day full of hockey. Here we are ready to rock after watching four unbelievable games at the Olympics in Milano, Cortina. How are you feeling?

[Chris]

The quarterfinals, sometimes the semis, but the quarterfinals in pretty much any big bracket tournament. I'm talking March Madness, I'm talking Champions League Olympics. The quarterfinals can actually be the best day because you have. You've eliminate. You've got some. Some of the best teams and you've got a full slate of games because the championship, you know, you. You hope for a great game. The Super Bowl's fun, but it's like it's one game. Whereas the quarterfinals, you can truly get a run of just incredible, incredible Sports. And that first game, which we'll get into the Germany Slovakia game, was a little bit like chalk, whatever. And then as you said after that, I mean, this is the dream. This is the dream. Let's ignore the injuries for a second. This is the dream of that is the Olympic hockey where they go. Here's your quarterfinals. Top eight teams in the country, absolute OT tilts, everyone puking in the streets from stress. And we got it. That was. I mean, I'm still reeling, I'm still reeling from that day.

[Dan]

Oh, me 100. It's actually crazy when you think about it. Like today went chalk. Right? Like it's a day of chalk.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Dan]

But yes, the games were insane. And this is what I'm gonna say. And I, I, I don't mean to be, I don't mean to be that guy, but I'm sorry if you're. Check if you're watching any coverage right now. That is not. People who are here enjoying it. You're missing out. Turn it off and turn this on. Because it's so different.

[Chris]

Oh my God.

[Dan]

Like you can be watching at home in the States right now and pretending like, oh, so dialed in the, in the Olympics, all the. No, you're not. You're not dialed. Because it is so different here. The atmosphere here, being here in Milan, having the opportunity to be here with the families, with the fans, with the athletes. Because that's the thing, right? Like when we're at Canada House and it's all the other athletes who have just won gold medals, who are there, who have been in the village, who have been around with these other athletes who are in, in the environment, experiencing it with them. You can't feel the atmosphere that we are feeling. Like this is, this is the shit.

[Chris]

Like they put on the speed skating right in the. Canada's winning golden speed skating. Whole place is rocking, people screaming, cheers. Then there's come in. The team wins. The team comes in like it's, it's. You are in the mixer.

[Dan]

Oh, it's great. It's like I'm like, there's part of me that's laughing at like people I'm not laughing at, but it's like I respect so much everyone who's like back in the States right now trying to watch these games at like 4pm eastern time. Be like, trying to get dialed into environment like, holy, you were fucking legends back on the east coast watching the and like west coast watching these games, trying to dial in. It is. And, and I'm just saying I'm trying To express to you the environment here is so palpable, it's so electric. And. And I want to be able to give that to you right now because every one of you on the east coast tapping in right now watching and getting invested.

[Chris]

You are the real ones.

[Dan]

Like it's like you're. You're getting into the Olympic environment and the atmosphere in the best way. It's amazing. But. But we are here and it is unbelievable what's going on. First game, quickly Slovakia is real world.

[Chris]

I have two things to say about the first game. One, I want to. And it's I. I wish we hadn't waited so long to do this. Too little too late and I apologize. But I wanted to just give some stick taps to Germany because I thought they actually had I. And I guess their record is probably. Would they go 2 and 1? What? They go 1 and 2 in the group stage. I think one of them when they're preliminary and then get out. So they go two and three. It's not like they put on a bloodbath beat down of people. But I just thought Germany, who is a very top heavy team played really well. I thought, I thought Germany had a great tournament and they got running here and that sucks. But I, I just wanted to. I didn't want the. Their Olympic run to end without me going Germany. Good job, cuz. That. That was fun. It was actually really fun.

[Dan]

Also Chris every. Every one of the NHL players played great.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Like everyone was great. Leon played so well. Dealt with the chirps from the Kachuk brothers and just can, you know, continue to do what he does as he always does. I thought it was. We saw a couple cool moments. Tim Stutzla had a great salute to the fans at the end of the game and he had a big smile on his face and that's what the Olympics are all about. And I, I feel like I kind of saw that look on Stutzless face. Like he was just like yeah. Are we eliminated? Sure. But was this one of the best experiences of my life? Yes. And they won an elimination game. They, you know, like that's. That's great stuff. I loved what Germany did.

[Chris]

Yep. And then dude to move it to the Slovakian team.

[Dan]

I.

[Chris]

When we got here, we landed bang. We go right to. We go right to the Bauer event. Okay. Posted up there all day and we're jet lag. I don't know what's going on. And we walk in and Slovakia, Finland is on the Jumbotron the huge screen and I forget what score Was. But Slovakia is running them. And I gasped and went, wow, nightmare. I kind of forgot everyone gets through, but I was like, nightmare start for Finland. This is a disaster. You're losing to Slovakia. Puke. And dude, the Slovakian team never flinched from that moment. And I know they lost to Sweden, but they. Sweden really found their game, which we'll obviously get into. But Sweden played great to beat them.

[Dan]

Jesus Christ.

[Chris]

Slovakia scored a power play goal when they needed it to win that group. Deservingly won that group. Dude, who is on this team? You look at this roster, you look at the other rosters here, look at Finland's roster, look at Sweden's roster. Obviously Canada, U.S. look at the Czech roster. I look at this locking team and I'm like, you. What is going on? You. Who gives you the right? Who gives you the right to do this? And they go, we do. We make the rules up in this bitch because we brought a team that is cohesive and played together and all that mumbo jumbo. But they are delivering on that rant in the biggest way, dude, they look fucking legit.

[Dan]

The Slovaks are. They're so good together. They're such a great team. And everyone's been talking about Slafkovsky.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And I don't know if anyone has seen the clip of Slafkovsky against the Germans tonight. He's carrying the puck up ice in the D zone. And he comes up one on one in a just run of play moment 5v5 against Leon Draisaitl and he fucking puts on the brakes, does a little spin. Arama360, protects the puck with one hand on the stick, spins around Leon with a. That big burger paddle, poking it out, trying to get the puck and slap. Just spins away from him and comes up ice. And that. I. I think we tweeted that with something like, oh, he's feeling himself. And. Yeah, and he is. And that's the type of play that's. That's when you're. We call it vi.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Dan]

When you're vibing on ice, you. You're feeling yourself and you try some shit. And Slafkovsky is feeling himself. And I'm telling you, this type of stuff, this tournament is why he was picked where he was. This is why he's the player that the Canadiens believe he is. And it's so exciting to see and it's been so fun seeing people online and people here, the Slovaks here, going, this. We know this guy. This is the guy that we know. We're behind him. He's fucking Buzzing. It's so great to see, but I want to shout out, divorce key.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Dan]

Divorce key. 20 year old blues player. He's been unbelievable. Some great stuff here. He is the youngest Slovak ever to have a four game point streak at Olympics with NHL participation.

[Chris]

Damn.

[Dan]

He's also. His six points are the most by any blues player who has ever been at the olympics for the NHL.

[Chris]

That's awesome.

[Dan]

Unbelievable. This kid's 20 years old.

[Chris]

God.

[Dan]

Dude had a point in the game tonight. He's been fucking all over the place and I'm just. It's just like. I love it. This is the best part about. It's like the World cup, it's the Olympics and when you get group team, you know, team sports, here we have club stuff like that, like the NHL, when you get these players who play together. And we're used to it, right? We're used to it with certain nations, but seeing the Slovakia team fucking ripping together every game. Yeah, I mean, it's like what? They've had one game where I was like, oh, yeah, they lost this game. They didn't look that insane. It feels like every other game people have been like, oh, shit.

[Chris]

Damn, they're pretty good.

[Dan]

Slovak teams fucking clapping cheeks here, playing the bongo drums, dude.

[Chris]

I have more to say about this next round with them, so I'm going to save it. But yes, they have been easily, easily the surprise of the tournament. Where you go, who, who's so much deeper than you ever expected? Who won groups you didn't expect? Slovakia. Slovakia. Slovakia answered every question.

[Dan]

Absolute Chris.

[Chris]

Okay, so I want to go to the Finland game first. I'm going to read this bet MGM ad. Here we go. Live read.

[Dan]

Make it legendary. Let's get into a legendary game. Swiss hash. Hey, Chris, quick. Hashtag for Kevin. For Kevin.

[Chris]

Oh, dude, I'm actually. Here's the thing. Finland.

[Dan]

Can we talk about this run?

[Chris]

Yes. The Swiss team. And I'm actually now so crushed. We never saw a Swiss game live because JD Even said the Swiss fans were just all time, all time singing.

[Dan]

They've been all time.

[Chris]

So close, so close to here. They love hockey. I just, like, I needed to get to Swiss game. I'm. I'm crushed for them. Finland is a proud hockey nation. Yeah, I know they wanted to have a good tournament. I know they felt disappointed at Four Nations. But then they come in here without Barkov and you just write them off. At least I did. I go, you are not a factor in this. In this, actually. You'll. You'll, you'll play and you'll. You'll do the hockey, but you are not a factor in this. Do that hockey without Barkov because you weren't a factor in Four nations, really. And then you lose your best player. So I will. I'm very happy for Finland, truly.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

But. But as the Swiss was going on this run, when they lose, Kevin, you go, it's over. It's completely over. Your tournament is done. And then it is not done. And when. When we tune in, because the Canada game was on, right? They were going, double trouble, double trouble, double trouble. The Canada games on. We're trying to tune into this to the Swiss game, but we're in the Canada house. So it's like wall to wall to wall tv. I can't. I can't go. Excuse me. We pop, pop Finland, Switzerland on little split screen action. A little picture in picture.

[Dan]

Pip.

[Chris]

Wrong. So by the time it gets on and we're on the phones, we're on the phones, obviously, but with time it gets on, it's two. Nothing. And I'm like, holy hell, dude. Can you imagine? And then, dude, the Canada game ends and we're watching the Swiss game and we go. We're going, no audio. We're going fudgeing. No audio.

[Dan]

That was in. That was utterly.

[Chris]

And I'm like, okay.

[Dan]

But there was kind of a reason we had speed skating going on and.

[Chris]

There were Canadian shit happening.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

But we go in. No audio. So I'm sitting here. I brought my computer like a nerd. I literally had my computer out doing work like a nerd in the middle of the Canada house. But I got to do. I got shit to do. So I'm working and then I'm We're. And I'm. I'm watching. It's over my shoulder. So I'm working, I'm watching, I'm working, I'm watching. Canada's pouring in. The families are pouring in. I'm hugging and kissing babies, hugging wives. Everybody's happy, everybody's celebrating. I'm trying to watch the third period. I look up, boom, two, one. Didn't even hear it. Didn't even see it. Didn't know what was going on. Brutal. Hey, I'm like, can we turn it? Can we rewind? They go, no, we're illegally streaming this or some shit. I don't want get anyone trouble, but.

[Dan]

I don't know if you know how.

[Chris]

The fuck those games are on in there. So we're trying to Canada. CBC gem. Yeah, actually, yeah, that's what.

[Dan]

That's what I'm getting on my phone. No one else in this country besides.

[Chris]

Me and the Canada House is getting this right now.

[Dan]

Only you, dude.

[Chris]

So we can't rewind. And I go, all good. So we go, all good. We're going to watch the end here. Yeah, and I'm watching the end and we go, Granny, like, three straight chances right from the slot. One might. I think it may be knobbed, but three straight chances, it's incredible. And I thought to myself, in that moment, I'm sick because I'm happy that Swiss are going to do this, but I wish they had just kind of kept chipping it out. Kept chipping it out. I hate that. Granny's going to go home and go, man, I was in the slot three straight times.

[Dan]

The way you visceral. Viscerally reacted to that, like it was. You're right. You were right. Like, it was. Was like the captain, it was like, just like, is that going to be the way it goes?

[Chris]

This how he has to end his Olympics. And then, boys, they go, cut feed. Feed cut. Boom. No more Swiss. No more Swiss. Finland. And I go, what the. And they go, well, sorry, we're trying to win a couple speed skating golds. We're in the Canada House. You're going to be watching that. So I go, all right. Hey, Red, pull up the phone. Get your. What is it called? CBC gem. I go, get the CBC GEM cooking baby. And Red goes, no problem. Okay. They go, incorrect. You can only watch Canada games on this. I go, oh, okay, well, let me see if I can get it. I pull up the score app and it goes like this tie game going overtime. And I'm like, what? Jesus Christ, dude. So now we're on Reddit. We're on Twitter, trying to find the goal. I think that Miro was the tying goal, right? That was the one that tied it. Goalie pole, I believe.

[Dan]

Extra attacker swings across the top mirror was the tying goal.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

By the way, with a like 1848 into the period, like a minute 12. Yeah, yeah.

[Chris]

Like low glove snip job. So I'm like, holy shit, we missed that. So. So we pull up the feed and then we didn't know, or actually I guess we did from the Canada game, but I was like, oh, so we got to get this feed up because they're not going to cut the ice. Like, it's going to be a quick break and then we go. So then we're trying to get a feed up. I'm trying to get Peacock going, and then I'm like, red, refresh, refresh, refresh. And it goes. Game's over. I'm like, jesus Christ. So we're back on Reddit, back on Twitter. See the goal, Dude, I. Okay, so Swiss, I'm devastated, but you had a hell of a tournament. Hashtag for Kevin. What a run. I hate that they had to lose that way because, I mean, God, up to nothing. Was there five minutes left when they made it to one? I think it got as deep as five minutes.

[Dan]

I think, if memory serves, the. It was 323.

[Chris]

Jesus. Even worse, I had used all my. You'll notice. You'll notice my bracelet is missing. The free drink tokens. I had used all of those by that time when we were deep in the game. So mine and Dan's also seem to be gone.

[Dan]

Would you.

[Chris]

Would you look at that?

[Dan]

There was a little thief running around in there snacking snacks. Because we weren't drinking. We didn't use any of them. We didn't drink at all.

[Chris]

So I'm devastated that it went that way for the Swiss. But that being said, Finland Dogs, because this has been a Jekyll and Hyde tournament for them, in my opinion.

[Dan]

Oh, really?

[Chris]

A little bit.

[Dan]

Because I thought.

[Chris]

I guess the Slovaks are just good, but I thought they didn't look that good in that game.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And then. And then you lose or I guess.

[Dan]

They pumped Italy and they. Yeah, they. And they won emphatically in Sweden.

[Chris]

Yep. Who they beat in the prelim.

[Dan]

I'm just. I'm confused by this take by you.

[Chris]

Well, I guess leaving the group stage, you feel Jekyll and Hyde, where you go. You got crushed by the Slovakia team.

[Dan]

I mean, I don't. I Got crushed.

[Chris]

You got crushed.

[Dan]

You won 11 nothing against Italy, right?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

You won 4 one.

[Chris]

It's actually rude, to be honest. Everyone else given Italy a good game and gold if didn't even matter. So gold if mattered. Didn't even matter.

[Dan]

So end of the day, the real issue is you're assholes. That's.

[Chris]

They're being dicks.

[Dan]

You're.

[Chris]

They rip Italy, stomp on Italy for no reason. They beat their arch rival Sweden, which was rude. And then they lose to Slovakia just to the group up and. Which was rude to me.

[Dan]

Your problem is that they're.

[Chris]

And then they rip the Swiss's soul out like that. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. But they. Yeah, but I'm glad. Like, this is a cool moment I. I had. As I said, I wrote them off. But coming in without Barkov and then finding yourself in a semi because that. You got that. It's you guys, right? Finland, Canada. Finding yourself in a semi final at the Olympics against Canada without Barkov is a tremendous achievement.

[Dan]

When.

[Chris]

When Sweden's home and the Czechs are home, and I'm like, damn, dude, good job.

[Dan]

You know, I, I don't want to say I disagree. Like, whenever you have Bar when you. Whenever you don't have Barkov. Yeah, that's. To. To make it this far. That's amazing. But at the same time, I'm like, you're being a dude. What do you mean? You're. You're. You're being soft with this assessment of this team. Like, what have you been saying from the very beginning? There. There they are. There are three teams in this tournament that have all NHL players, and this team has all but one.

[Chris]

But.

[Dan]

And we're. And we're.

[Chris]

We're.

[Dan]

We're shocked that they're one of the top four teams left.

[Chris]

Well, we all not read because it was Evan, but we all did our. Who's the gold medal game? Who's the bronze medal game? None of us had Finland in either of those games. Not a one of us. So we. No one thought that of the two of us sitting here, no one thought Finland was going to get.

[Dan]

Sure. But what you just said, that's wrong. What you just said was top three.

[Chris]

No, no. We said, who is in the bronze medal game? And you said Sweden beats. I think you said Germany or the checks. You said Sweden beats the checks.

[Dan]

I don't think that that's true.

[Chris]

I will pull up the YouTube right now.

[Dan]

If anyone knows anything about this show, it's that Chris is never right when it comes to his memory. He' Plays wrong.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Well, my. But my point is, dude, is like, you're. Listen, I'm not. As I said from the beginning, that's a great achievement, but I'm not going to sit here and be like this. It's remarkable that Finland's in the top four teams. And in fact, going into this round. What did I say from the beginning? This is chalk.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Without bar like this, it's all been chalk. Have the games been crazy? Yes, but it's all chalk. So I'm not going to sit here and fucking prance around going, oh, my God, I can't believe Finland's in this game.

[Chris]

I am. That's how I feel.

[Dan]

And that's fine. Yeah, but I'm saying you're wrong. I mean, literally, statistically, you're wrong. Like, this was the chalk pick. Should Finland have beaten Switzerland in this game? Yes.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Dan]

So I'm. I'm not going to go. This is crazy. I am going to agree with you in that. The way they came back in that game so late, oh, my God. Was insane. And I always love. Again, I know that they're all NHL players, but the goals in this game being scored by fucking Sebastian Ajo. Emiro Haskin in and Arturi Lekkanen is like, that is how you do it. You're fucking doll.

[Chris]

That's how you do it. Yeah.

[Dan]

It's just crazy when you open the fucking gate and the top dogs run out. That is what you want. And it's just amazing. And I just. Before we get on to, like, I'm saying this from as far as our fan bases, the big games here, we got to talk about Canada, usa. We're going to do that right now.

[Chris]

Now.

[Dan]

But I just need to take a moment to talk about Lekkanin.

[Chris]

Yeah. Okay.

[Dan]

This dude is so good at hockey. And Colorado fans have just been for ages. No, no. Not hiding him. Then they've been like, why doesn't anyone talk about this guy? And good God Almighty, that OT goal. How crazy was it watching that game? Like, we're sitting there, guys, like, we're in. We're in Milan. We're at the Canada House. Canada has just won. You know, everyone's losing their minds, truly. And now it's just like, Jesus Christ. We're daily surviving. Who are we playing next? And then that game comes on and everyone's. And everyone's like, holy. Is Switzerland up to nothing? And I think we tweeted our account, tweeted something like, we are a little over two minutes from the first upset. Really?

[Chris]

Of the men's tournament.

[Dan]

And then it was just like this. Finland goal. Finland goal. Finland goal. And it was like, what the fuck is happening? And, like, the fact that it was lekking in, it was just like, this dude has just showed up time and time again. So it's amazing. Amazing. It's funny.

[Chris]

I'm so pumped for them, dude. Yeah. I'm not trying to be like, they're not good. I'm so pumped for that because they. They earned this. Because on paper, Sweden's better than them, right? And on paper, well, I guess probably on paper, they're better than the Czechs. But the. The popular Vegas pick was Sweden and the Czechs. And.

[Dan]

And I will say this, and this isn't like any shit talk. This is just basics. When it was two nothing Switzerland, you got to remember the receding folks, There was a situation there where Canada fans were going, holy fuck, we're about to play Switzerland.

[Chris]

Yeah. This is all. They're fired up.

[Dan]

They were fired up for that. And then Finland came back, and that was electric.

[Chris]

All right, here comes the meat and potatoes.

[Dan]

Meat and potatoes of the game. All right, we're talking about some of our sponsors here. And, you know, when it comes to sponsors, we've got to talk about one of our favorites, and that is Lucy. When it comes to nicotine, Lucy is giving you the best nicotine experience in the game, Created by scientists, always tobacco free. Giving you the best experience you could ever imagine. When it comes to milligrams, they got you covered 4, 8 to 12 and flavors, there is no other brand in the game that competes. We got the mint, we got the wintergreen, we got the mango, we got the espresso. If you want a little bit of that coffee flavor. And also whatever you're in the mood for. If you guys need to dial in, if you need to laser focus like you're watching one of these Olympic games, toss in a Lucy pouch, toss in a breaker, give that little ball a snap, get a little bit of extra flavor. Whatever you need. If you're trying. Trying to relax, sit back, watch a movie, wind down before bed, a pouch is perfect for that. If you need a little bit of oomph.

[Chris]

Great read, Dan.

[Dan]

All right.

[Chris]

Okay. Canada, bro.

[Dan]

Holy shit. To get into Canada, they had played before.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

It wasn't even close. Canada absolutely dominated. They come into this game and before the game we saw a lot of chit chat. Yep, a lot of chit chat, a lot of talk. We had some quotes from guys like David Pasternak, guys like Martin Naches. And they were saying things like this, listen, you know, we let them win the first game. It's hard to win.

[Chris]

Yeah, that was funny.

[Dan]

Had some great quotes. He was like, listen, we're going to get on him in the first period. We're going to go hard, we're going to go heavy. That was. That was sketch.

[Chris]

So Mac, Mac scores immediately.

[Dan]

What was it? Less than five minutes into the game, Macklin Celebrini. Here we go. He score and the goat. Cp give us the stat.

[Chris]

Oh, my God, dude. So Mack became Mac. Well, did you, did you say he did pass?

[Dan]

Because he did pass, pal.

[Chris]

Matt Mac has passed Malkin for the most points by a teenager in the NHL. I always love the Olympics, where it's like, like NHL and not NHL.

[Dan]

Macklin Celebrini, currently in his Olympic debut, has four games played, five goals, four assists for nine points. At 19 years of age, Evgeny Malkin.

[Chris]

Had seven points as a teenager in the NHL, in the Olympics, which was the record. Mac has now passed him. Congratulations. My dog. It's going to go. He's going to get. He's going to finish in double digits. It's going to be ridiculous.

[Dan]

Unbelievable.

[Chris]

Mac scores immediately. And it felt like, here comes the route again. Again. Only thing he couldn't do is let Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini combine on a goal in the first five minutes. You are now it's going to be 10, nothing.

[Dan]

Unbelievable.

[Chris]

Then check, gets one back and you start to go, oh, interesting. At least there's a little bit of fun.

[Dan]

It made it fun immediately.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Instantly when Czechia scores, we were like, okay, this is going to be a little bit of a game here. And then.

[Chris]

And you had even said, Dan, you were like, man, pasta, I'd like to see Pasta do something in this tournament.

[Dan]

Talking about the shit.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And then he wired one that dude. Sometimes NHL guys hit one tease and go watch that replay again. That puck is all over the place on the way to him. It's wobbling, it's bouncing, and he just catches it and murders that. It goes in and out so fast that you're like, what did that even hit in the net?

[Dan]

I don't know what that feels like on his hands, but it's something that I can't handle, my fragile frame can't handle.

[Chris]

And anybody. We're going to get to Binner in a second. But anybody mad at Binner in that moment is more like these goal.

[Dan]

I don't even think that's worth saying because no one was. We're gonna get into bitter, too. Had a chance to chat with him after the game. I mean, and you know, it was. It was the quickest chat in the world. But at the end of the day, this dude is so locked in. He's so amazing. He's such a wonderful human correct. And the way he just seems so calm and focused. It's everything you want from your goaltender.

[Chris]

So it's 2:1. It's going. We're into the second. It's 2:1. And I was. I was scared because this. The game the Czech team was playing is who I think we all. But I certainly thought they were entering this tournament. So I'm like, obviously, they wait till now to fucking drop this bomb on everybody.

[Dan]

I mean, it was perfect. Felt like a perfect game plan.

[Chris]

Yep. And. And that's a test I think, you know, they probably would have been in anyway. But that's a testament to. This has been so fun. I don't want to cheer up the Olympics, but I've hated the fall format. I've hated the three groups, everybody in preliminary thing. Like, I. This should have been four groups. Top two teams are in something to play for, you know, so I've hated this, that it allowed you to kind of do whatever.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

But, yeah, the checks played with a little bit of reckless abandon for the first few games. And then it really locked in.

[Dan]

Sure.

[Chris]

So I give them credit for that because I was like, okay. But then I started to get pissed because this shouldn't have been. If they were going to play this way, this shouldn't have been a quarterfinal game. This should be the semifinals. Honestly, the two games I just watched, I felt like should have been the two semifinal games. And we. This is the same thing we bitch about with the NHL playoffs where I go, Dallas, Colorado in the first fucking round. And people go, well, who cares? You gotta. They gotta play each other eventually anyway. And I'm like, yeah, but dude, it should be deeper. You should have enjoyed the fan bases. Should have enjoyed these deeper runs.

[Dan]

Sure.

[Chris]

It's bullshit that the Czech team and the Sweden team go home with no chance at a medal because they, they and. And they have only some, only themselves to blame because they up in the group stage. Canada and US did their job. Not 3,09 points. How was your mother? But this is what we were dealt with. And I said in one of our stories, because people were beacon me like, you rooting for Canada. And I was like, yes, dude, I want to see a Canada U.S. final. I don't need them to go out this red. Actually said it best. It was after they won. He wasn't being negative during. If that Canada team loses that game. Yeah, it is literally bad for the sport.

[Dan]

Literally.

[Chris]

Because you go, this might not be Sid's last, but this is maybe Sid's last Olympics. Dewey's last Olympics. Yeah, it's Connor and Nate's first Olympics. It's Mac. It's the coming out party of the teenage phenom Macklin Celebrini. And I go, that team got eighth. That is a fucking nightmare.

[Dan]

It felt unthinkable and it was happening.

[Chris]

In front of our eyes.

[Dan]

Regardless of how good Czechia is. And they are very good. And we've talked about it before. Natus has been playing just like truly out of this world. Pasta is obviously pasta.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Doe still is so good in net.

[Chris]

Yeah. I want.

[Dan]

This is a good team. This is a team that we all thought like a lot of us picked to be, you know, a top four or, or higher. But regardless of that, this is Canada. This is. This is what many are calling the greatest Canadian roster in 30 years. It would have been unthinkable. And sitting there watching, regardless of our relationships, whatever, just as a hockey fan, it was like, holy shit.

[Chris]

Oh my God.

[Dan]

And you know, I said to our friends Johnny Laz and Colby Cohen today, it was like, why you like the preliminary games is because you like the opportunity for upset. It's, it's, you know, and well, you like this the first round a couple days ago, it's like you want maybe something to happen. Sure is chalk, as we've said. Said it's only been chalk in the men's so far. And is that boring on paper, sure. But have these games been boring? No. And you want the opportunity for that to happen. And fuck me, buddy. Fuck me running was the entirety of this game. Like, oh, I don't care what the result was.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

This was electric.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And it's like, yes, it was unthinkable in the moment of, like, is this seriously about to happen? But then as it went, it was just like, even rooting for Canada. And I was. Call me a traitor. I was. I was rooting for I. And I. I will continue to root for Canada. I. I was like, oh, my God, this is unbelievable what I'm watching. And I was cocky. We were with. We were with all the families and. And, you know, we were with all these amazing, you know, again, families of the players and just amazing Canadian people. I was trying to be the voice of reason. Like, red or, you know, Canadian producer was, like, silent, and he was like, dude, you were like. He was like, you were the only thing keeping me going. Because I was just like, there were so many times I was like, we're fine, we're fine. Like, you know, dude, how many face offs did check you in? Dude, they were literally all of them. Literally all of them at the dot. They were out of control. We had a game plan. It's like, like we said, good has talked about it. They. They doubled McDavid. Every time McDavid got the puck in the neutral zone, you saw someone bump him, and then you saw a defenseman press up. That was a very well executed game plan. They were sitting back and they got hemmed in sometimes, but they weren't on their heels. They were. They were sitting back, prepared to sit back, scoop the puck out, chip the puck out. It was into the third period, it was like, this is kind of fucking working.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And when they tied it to two, I was the one going, dude, listen, you just can't keep up with Canada's weight. You can't keep up with their speed. This is going to be 62. Then the worst thing in the world happened.

[Chris]

Okay. Yeah. So at 22 with you, I felt completely confident. I know it was scary if you're. If you're rooting for Ghana. But at 2:2, I felt like, this is. We're going to laugh about this.

[Dan]

Then. The worst thing in the world.

[Chris]

Yeah. Sidney Crosby gets hit and read what the first hit you saw. It's against the wall, right? Because I kind of saw the double team after. But he gets. He gets pinned up against the wall. And you saw a replay, I didn't see where it kind of looked like his leg bends.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

But. But even before that it's like Sid gets hit and then he goes off and then he comes. Or it was either the same shift or the next shift, but he's trying to.

[Dan]

There was two.

[Chris]

Yeah. And then he goes to push off. Yeah. And he immediately kind of like his leg flinches up. He hobbles over to the bench. There's a few minutes left in the second. He's, you know, talking to people on the bench. Eventually goes to the locker room and looks terrible. Well, not terrible, but looks not good. Going to the locker room.

[Dan]

He's doing a waddle.

[Chris]

Doing a waddle. He's waddling.

[Dan]

He was doing the plank walk. Like, it looks like there's a. There's a steel rod down his. Like, he was, like, waving the leg outwards, which always makes me nervous.

[Chris]

We all go, it's gonna be fine.

[Dan]

We don't know anything. We've not heard anything.

[Chris]

But then to start the third, they go, announcement, start the third. Sid's not coming back. It's been ruled out.

[Dan]

Out.

[Chris]

And. And by the way. And obviously they were losing draws before that, but that's when you lose a Sydney Crosby and you get murdered at the dot. Look no further. Also, the lines. They got all.

[Dan]

It felt very. I don't want to say panicky at all, because if there's anyone in the NHL that I know not to panic, it's Coop.

[Chris]

Correct.

[Dan]

But it felt weird that it was just like, you know, Marner and. And Stone. Sid's. Sid's linemates. After that, it was just like, you're not playing. I played one shit in the third period. It just felt like Conor Macklin, Mick Mack was out the whole game.

[Chris]

Truly.

[Dan]

The whole fucking game.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And at this, there's one part of me that's like, yeah, I do the same thing. There's another part of me that's like, as. As we always say, when you look at that up and down that roster. Don't panic. Everyone there can get it done.

[Chris]

We were joking, remember? We were joking that Sid. Or. Excuse me. The Mic Mac line is so good.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

That I swear, it makes the other guys on Canada think they're worse because that line is so much better than that. They're like, we're back. Just get. Just chip it in. Just chip it in. You guys are good, too. Stop. Like, stop relying so much on that top line. There was some stat that was like, Canada's had 16 shots from the slot in this game.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

12 of them are from the McMack line. And I'm like, everyone else is Capable of doing that.

[Dan]

Insane.

[Chris]

Same. So, Sid, we don't know anything yet. It.

[Dan]

Let's. Let's move on here.

[Chris]

Yeah. Okay.

[Dan]

That should bring you to talking about.

[Chris]

The man who tied the game. Yeah.

[Dan]

Who has to step up.

[Chris]

So I want to say this.

[Dan]

Well, I think before we get to that, we got to talk about pot taking the lead.

[Chris]

Yes. And I want to say this. When Sid got hurt, was quiet. When Pat took the lead, it was silent.

[Dan]

It was utterly silent. Silent because like I said, at a tie, I was like, we're. This team is fine. Relax.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

But then Palat scores on a great. We'll get to it, guys. Don't worry. On a great Rush and the. The Canada House.

[Chris]

Oh, dude.

[Dan]

You could hear.

[Chris]

Not good.

[Dan]

You could hear a silent but deadly fart. Squeak out of the tight snare drum. Ass of a mouse crawling under the floor.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Dan]

It was insane. Almost as insane as the fact that there were six men on the ice for Tikia.

[Chris]

If you. The entire play, if you guys haven't seen this, go look at everything. I don't know if you can maybe find a link to that tweet, read and put it in the chat or maybe you can. Dan, it is nonsense there, guys.

[Dan]

Again, if you haven't seen it, go online. This fucking play where Czechia takes the lead. You're in the D zone for Czechia. There are six men on the ice. They get possession. They come up through the neutral zone. There are six men on the ice. They get into the offensive zone. Beautiful drop pass to Palat. Beautiful shot. Beautiful goal. There are six men on the ice. In the goal celebration. There are six men on the. No one noticed it.

[Chris]

I wonder. The goal.

[Dan]

This is straight, Chris. This is Kaiser Sose walking. This is Andy Dufresne walking with dress shoes outside, out of the prison and on his way out.

[Chris]

How often do you look at a man's shoes?

[Dan]

How often do you look at six men on the ice when Canada's buttholes are as tight as a chestnut.

[Chris]

Dude, it's unbelievable.

[Dan]

Thanks.

[Chris]

Made a great point where he was like. The rush went up. He's like. I think everyone just was like, watching the rush. It was hard to look back.

[Dan]

These six. It was Andy Dufresne.

[Chris]

Shot of the six people in this alley is high. It's so funny. Perfectly. It is so.

[Dan]

God, I'm begging you. Watch this clip. They score. There are four guys against the board celebrating. And then two come in and, like, it's so funny. Just no one noticed.

[Chris]

What I need to know and we'll never know is did they realize like when they were going down the line, were they like, oh, there were six of us out here? I don't think so.

[Dan]

I think everyone was so blackout. You could see black celebration too.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah. He was like, holy, are we winning right now with less than 10 minutes left in the third period.

[Chris]

Dude, unbelievable. That goal came late enough that I was like, oh yo.

[Dan]

But I said it already. I will say it again. Thank God Czechia did not win that game because if they had and that play had happened, dude, I said this. The entire nation of Canada would be on mooseback parading to the country of Italy to to turn over this game riot.

[Chris]

And they'd be justified.

[Dan]

And they would be justified. They would be justified. And I will say this also, Czechia, you played an amazing game and I love every one of you from Czechia. But there are a lot of people complaining about the hook on Nature's from Devontaves at the end of the game when it was tied. They were like, they were like Devontaves was dog sledding.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Martin Nature. Guys, it was a one handed slight hook. I wouldn't have even called it. And also given what you got away with six goals you scored with six.

[Chris]

Men on the high stick tagle in the face and no one said anything.

[Dan]

Yeah, he might have gotten the puck.

[Chris]

The that would have been a, a a such a stain on this tournament if that happened. I'm so glad it wasn't decided.

[Dan]

Canada's been cheating. Left, right and center. Yeah.

[Chris]

They don't get penalties. Yeah. Okay. So then late and it's like the lines are jumbled. They're double shifts and everybody.

[Dan]

It's chaos.

[Chris]

Hey, ready?

[Dan]

What did I say? What did I say about before three minutes? Oh, you did call it. Y everyone's freaking out and I went, everyone, I went. I, I get it. Canada will tie this game before the 3 minute mark. 3 minute 27 seconds. Who has the best shift we've ever.

[Chris]

Dude, Incredible one man effort. I need people to understand that, dude.

[Dan]

Because Gas go back and watch the replay from from about four and a half minutes to 3:27, dude. And like you guys said, he could.

[Chris]

Easily just chip that puck in.

[Dan]

Yep, he should have.

[Chris]

And change. Everyone changed except for him and the boy.

[Dan]

The boy. Zuke Nick Suzuki has one of the best top to bottom 200 foot shifts you will ever see.

[Chris]

Oh my God.

[Dan]

He gets in in the D zone, flying around, being a true center, head on a swivel, getting every single bit of Himself in the play. And he has a play where he can easily chip the puck in deep.

[Chris]

And get the red line. Gets it in. His entire line changes and he goes, you know what? Just so they can't turn it around quick enough. I'm going to scoot by and just put some pressure on the D. Nope. He's battling in the corner. Gets a stick on it, grinding, grinding. And now his team's out. I'm going to. I'm like, now he'll go change. Nope, nope. Fights to the front of the net. Puck comes up high, low to high, bang shot back in. I think maybe I forget who shot that one. And Suzuki fucking stick. It looked like, it looked like who's got that first USA goal. It was like the same. That same. Yeah.

[Dan]

Super wide tip, tip the blade down, tip in, redirect goal. Game time, tie game. And at that moment you went click.

[Chris]

Max goal. Yeah.

[Dan]

And you went bang.

[Chris]

Dude, I. The place went bananas. Obviously. Did you see, by the way, did you see Suzuki almost. They always open the side devontaves. By the way, it was tapes shot. Every time the someone scores, they open that little side door. I did.

[Dan]

He almost went ass in through it, dude.

[Chris]

He almost fell backwards through the gate. He's like, oh, catches an edge. That was incredible. But you can see the emotion on his face because there have been people online line going oh when he's playing center and Nate's out there, he's dragging. Nate's only been productive when he's up with the Mick Mac Suzuki doesn't belong in this tournament. And he hears that obviously of course human being. Dude, the emotion was going to be there anyway. You just tied the game in a game saving quarterfinal. Olympic moment. But he must have been busting through his cup. He was so bricked up after that. Absolutely horned up beyond belief because that and dude you can see the. I don't know who he hits at first, but when he comes to do the bench shake line, the first person he comes through, he like whacks his hands so hard that got. I could not be happier for him. Dude, that was.

[Dan]

Zuke's a beauty. He's been having a great tournament. See him get on the board like that. Amazing. So gay. Obviously we mentioned natures gets that breakaway. Great save by Binner and I, I, I will say end of the third period and into overtime. Jordan Bennington was out fucking of his mind. Unconscious goaltending. The way he gets big the way he. There were a few great tic tac toe plays by Czechia Great passes into the slot, high danger chances. And Binner comes so far out of his net, gets big and makes those fucking huge saves on these big time shooters. Unbelievable. But they force it to overtime. Second. It got to overtime. Again, I'm common. It's just listen, 3v3 overtime. You have Canada. It's over. And I was like, this is gonna be over in a minute. It was over in a minute 22. And who was it? Dude? Mr. OT himself.

[Chris]

Oh, man. So incredible play by Mitch there too. Because there's so much of the group.

[Dan]

Such a strong play.

[Chris]

Well, because there's so much of the regroup culture now, which you know I hate. I know you do too. That it's kind of like you go in and you're just patient. You're just waiting to see which way the defense goes and you peel it back. And it was like Mitch came in and he was like, is anyone take this? Yeah. And just no one. Everyone was kind of waiting for him. Right. It was legitimately or look. And he just kept going and eventually they lean on him and he kind. I give him a lot of credit because he kept that edge and. And just gets the backhand up. And I know people are bummed. Like, docile will want that one back, obviously.

[Dan]

No, no, no. Everyone in Czechia is like, docile. You played out of your mind. And also, man, shut your mouth on a backhand.

[Chris]

It's a backhand.

[Dan]

It's a tough play. Like. Are you telling me that wasn't an. That wasn't a snip job?

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

I mean that was a fighting off one hand on the stick and then he gets two hands on, throws it back like. And it goes borderline bar down.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

You know, sure. What do you want that back? Yeah. It's like Swayman says, it's like you want every shot back when you're an elite goaltender. Yeah, that's an insanely hard shot to save.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

The.

[Chris]

I do want to say we both. We had all said we were telling red, just get to ot, dude. There's no way this team loses an ot. They did get a grade A alone. I forget who it was. 2A grade A alone in the slot. And just to echo what you said, because I wanted to say it too, I did not think no matter how well he was going to play because go back to four nations. Jordan Bingnington played great in four nations. I don't think Jordan Binnington won them four nations. He played great. And Ben, Mitch Marner and Connor McDavid and guys. Tons, tons Jordan Binnington saved Canada's his ass tonight. And I did not think that was going to be said at any point during this tournament. I thought they were going to say Biddington played exactly how he always does in big games. Very good. And that's why we won that breakaway. I know datejust was getting dogged a bit by taze in legally but you know, it just affected the play. But he's facing a minute left breakaway gray days in the slot in overtime. Monumental, monumental safes.

[Dan]

Absolutely true. May I say though, in a game where you outshoot the opponent 41 to 24. I always hate when it's like Binners saved their ass because there's also an element that's like, listen, that was a great game. It was four, three. Like the, the boys showed up too.

[Chris]

Yeah, for sure.

[Dan]

That was a good. To me when I hear like an emphatic like saved there and. And I was the one. I was pumping Binners tires. But like that was just a.

[Chris]

That's like a 50.

[Dan]

That was it to me. That was a top to bottom unexpected, maybe gritty game and everyone showed up.

[Chris]

And it's just in. But with. Yeah. And you just need. Sometimes you just need that save so badly. And he did it sure times like two and ot and I'll count that minute left one because that's the game. You know, those are like, hey dude, I have to have this save or we're going home.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And he gave you three.

[Dan]

But also like we needed the goals for sure. The guys got.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

So it's great.

[Chris]

You had a good max stat time on ice.

[Dan]

Oh, Macklin Celebrini, I believe had second most. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. Behind. Behind Nathan McKinnon. Behind Nathan McKinnon. Macklin Celebrini, second mo long most time on ice for Team Canada in that game. It's just another moment of are we me with this kid.

[Chris]

It's crazy, dude.

[Dan]

It's like this, this. It's unbelievable. Nine points through four games in his Olympic debut at 19 years old. And think about this roster and Macklin is playing the second most time on ice. He's. He's. He's genuinely the guy that they're looking to.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

In these moments.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

When you have guys like McD, he's playing more minutes than Conor McDavid.

[Chris]

Dude, think about that for a second.

[Dan]

Just put it that simply.

[Chris]

That's so great.

[Dan]

He's playing more minutes than Conor McDavid. He's playing more. Obviously got hurt but like he's playing more minutes than than Mitch Marner, who's playing more minutes than Kale McCarran. He's playing more miss than defenseman.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Kale Makar, Devon Taves. Like, what the fuck? It's insane.

[Chris]

Absolute stressful. I'm so glad they won. I'm so glad. The Suzuki haters can suck it. I am fucking devastated about Sid and like, I can't even think about it. I want to throw up.

[Dan]

Yeah, I will, I will say boots on the ground here. Talking to people. We don't know anything about Sid and we don't have a good fight feeling.

[Chris]

We don't have a good feeling.

[Dan]

If there's anyone who can come back from stuff like this, it's Sid. We don't have a good feeling. Moving on, usa, Sweden. But first, let's get into some quick ads. We're going to talk about our favorite sponsor in the entire world. When it comes to this beautiful game that we love, there is one name that is synonymous with the game of hockey and that is Bauer. For almost 100 years, Bauer has been the standard. It has been the greatest equipment, gear, whatever you need in the game of hockey. It's unbelievable. I talk about it all the time. When it comes to workout gear, when it comes to what you're wearing on the ice, from pads to sticks to gloves, buckets, whatever, Bauer is the no brainer. And let's be real, your wheels are the most important thing in the world. And when it comes to your wheels, you need to get them sharp and right. And it's actually quite frustrating how impossible it is to get your wheel sharpened if you're not on an elite team. You can't just leave your skates with somebody to get it taken care of. No, you need to drive it to the pro shop. You need to get it set up at your local rink. Whatever it is. Not anymore. The pro Sharp advantage from Bauer is changing the game when it comes to sharpening your skates. Listen up right now, folks. If you play hockey still you get your skate sharpened. It is a big deal. It costs more money than you think. It's not cheap. It's like 20 bucks at least a session. And a lot of guy, a lot of people like to get their skate sharpened every single second session. Stop getting your skates sharpened at these pro shops. Stop getting them sharpened with people who don't know you and the cut that you like. Get the Bauer pro Sharp advantage and get it in your house. This thing is tiny. It's a little bit bigger than your laptop. It can go on any flat surface in your home. Can go in your garage and go in your living room. It can go on your porch wherever you want it. This thing plugs in. It has Bluetooth connection, it connects with an app on your phone. You, you can set it to the exact elements and measurements that you want for your skates to get sharpened. It's easy with a press of a button and you get the highest quality skate sharpening that you could ever imagine. This thing pays for itself in literally 10 sharpens. Less, correct, less. Think about that. You get your skate sharpened time and time again in less than 10 sharpens. It's paid for and it's in your house. We have one. We have our teammates on our beer league team begging us to bring their skates back and sharpen them so they don't have to pay for it and they don't have to figure out when they're going to get it to the pro shop or get it to the rink because God knows when they're open. It's a whole nightmare. It's a whole thing. The Bauer Pro Sharp advantage is the biggest no brainer in the world. I'm telling you. I use this thing every single day, every single time I sharpen my skates. Get it today. Go to Bauer.com. check out all of the gear, whatever you need in the game of hockey. But I'm telling you, if you play hockey regularly and you don't invest in this, you are literally just lighting money on fucking higher.

[Chris]

Don't do that. It's irresponsible. Terrible.

[Dan]

Get it now. Bower.com. you will thank me later.

[Chris]

Okay. And then chubbies. God, you know, I love chubbies.

[Dan]

It's wearing them right now.

[Chris]

You are?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Wow, that is awesome. Okay, well, Dan, you were wearing Chubbies right now.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Because you wanted to feel comfortable while we were watching the Olympics.

[Dan]

Do you think I wasn't sweating sack during both of those games? Yes, I was. And do you think anyone could see it through my jeans? No, they couldn't because I had Chubbies on.

[Chris]

That's actually a perfect, perfect story to tell because these were the most stressful days of my life.

[Dan]

And Dan, I literally thought about it while watching the game. I was like, it's funny that I have Chubbies on and we're gonna do Chubby's out later because they are collecting sweat, right?

[Chris]

Yeah. And that's why Dan's obsessed with Chubby's. That's why I'm obsessed with Chubby's. They're getting us through These Olympic games. Chubby's was founded in 2011 by a group of friends who wanted to redefine proper length short shorts. Men's shorts were losing their personality and craftsmanship. Chubbies set out to rid closets of those uncomfortable shorts and put some fun back in Olympic hockey watching. This year makes 15 years of Chubbies. And they're celebrating by bringing back the originals, the shorts that started it all, which is incredible. They've got over 2.6 million customers. They know how to keep people happy, keep the vibes high. Their shorts are centered around that Friday at 5pm feeling or that I just want an OT hockey game in the Olympics feeling, which we love. And they use advanced technology stretch fabric that's also quick drying, wrinkle resistant and antimicrobial. It's incredible. So for a limited time, Chubby's is giving our listeners 20% off with code netters. That's N E T T E R s@chubby shorts.com that's 20% off your order with code netters. Get your thighs the VIP treatment they deserve with Chubby's. Support our show and tell them we sent you. Boom. USA Hockey. Talk to me.

[Dan]

I was in a tough spot tonight.

[Chris]

Yeah, dude, this was, this was not fun. I had a horrible time tonight.

[Dan]

I did not.

[Chris]

I did not. I just had a terrible time watching hockey tonight.

[Dan]

For loyal listeners of the show, passionate listeners of the show, they know that I'm dual citizen here. I'm I'm U S. Sweden and I had two US Sweden duels in back to back days.

[Chris]

Yeah, you did. You sure did.

[Dan]

Did not like it one bit.

[Chris]

This one, man. It's funny because we're there, right? And we're taking. I'm on my phone. I said I'm a nerd. I had my computer there, but I have my phone out. I'm taking notes and I just. And I took a ton of notes in the Canada game, which I was also stressed about, but I couldn't even. I looked down, we went. We were going into overtime in the third period of the USA Again, I looked up in my notes app and there was nothing there. I was like, God damn it, dude. That I was just like, like that.

[Dan]

Was one of the most free flowing hockey games that we reference this a lot. That felt like 2011 game seven. Boston, Tampa Bay.

[Chris]

Yeah, good one. Yep, good one. Good one.

[Dan]

No penalties in that Boston. There were. There were three penalties in this game. I think, I think what it was at. USA had two power plays. Sweden had one.

[Chris]

That sounds Right.

[Dan]

I think that's been the case. This was a free flowing hockey. It was. It. It started and finished before we could even.

[Chris]

Can I ask a question first? I want to ask this to the chat. Who for? Of the Americans in the chat or the hockey fans that have American hockey friends in the chat? I want to know, drop a like or a comment or something. How many people said, who we playing Rammer today?

[Dan]

We. We. We blasted out Shadow Jason Dverse.

[Chris]

It was like, dude, what a perfect moment. Luke put up the story.

[Dan]

Jason Demers. I'm telling you right now, J.D. you are. J.D. is. Is another netter. Like we always call Laz the third netter.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

JD is. JD Is the third or fourth netter as well. And he had an amazing, amazing stat that we, we pumped out yesterday in preparation of this game. USA has not beaten Sweden in the USA Men's have not beaten Sweden in the Olympics since 1960. They have either lost or tie every matchup.

[Chris]

So crazy.

[Dan]

And we tweeted that and the amount of replies that were like this, who we playing? Rammer.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan]

And I was just like, yeah, okay, get it out. And then people were like this, I'm not. I'm not done. I'm gonna keep.

[Chris]

Yeah, no, we had to. You're damn right.

[Dan]

Sweet.

[Chris]

In the Olympics. It's awesome. That got me going, dude. That mouth got me going. And then, man, I. I actually was thrilled, by the way. I'm so superstitious about this. I thought Sweden, even though I actually did think they played their best game today. I thought that was Chris. Yeah.

[Dan]

The whole tournament.

[Chris]

But I was thrilled that they had got their wins in those dark blues. And then we got. We put them in the yellows and I was like, I needed that. That was a big jump. That was a big jump for me. I needed that.

[Dan]

Talking about color rush a lot this year. Can we talk about how nice that game?

[Chris]

That looked?

[Dan]

Awesome. It looked Sweden in their yellows. USA and their royal blues. That was a sexy jersey matchup.

[Chris]

It looked awesome.

[Dan]

But from the first period, this was an electric hockey game. The I think shots at the end of the first were like 10 to 11 or something like that. Sweden looked great.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And I said it. Going into this game. I do not like that USA is playing the Sweden team when they have just played their best two games. I know they had found their footing, they found their rhythm, their best players were cooking. It was ridiculous. Everyone looked really great and especially Jacob Markstrom. Markstrom looked so locked in and dialed in that first Period. And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? And I do want to say this before you get going. I thought in a big way that the way USA could take control of this game was physicality. We've looked at the way that they've handled other teams throughout this tournament. We looked at the way that they isolated Leon Draisaitl when they played Germany. We looked at four nations. The way that Charlie McAvoy, the Tkachuk brothers, got really physical against top end talent like Connor McDavid. I was like, USA is going to come out and hit heavy and that isn't really Sweden's game. While they have huge players, they have great insane elite talent. I thought the heavyweight battle was going to be how USA could get on top. They never really were. Yeah, yeah. Take, take the hit stats out of the game. It just, it never felt like, oh, people are banging. Like, it was just a really good.

[Chris]

There was some good hits in both ways, but it was just.

[Dan]

Yeah, no, especially in those first two periods. I was like, this is just a good game. And that's not even to say. I, I, I mean, I know Headman was hurt here and there, but like Victor Headman and Jesper Brat did not play in the. I think they had one shift in the first period or something like that.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Dan]

I don't know what galaxy brain stuff is going on with Sweden's head coach this entire fucking tournament, but it's like Philip Forsberg was getting scratched early on. The, the, the, the way just so many roster decisions by this Sweden coach had me fucking blown away.

[Chris]

Okay?

[Dan]

So like I was pulling my brain out of my nostril and wringing it out like a used dish towel watching Sweden play this whole tournament.

[Chris]

So this is what I wanted to say too. We, the, some of the boys from Canada had told us that one of the other games they played early then they watched the USA game at the house.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

So we stayed to Canada House invited us over to watch the Canada game and we went because we had told you guys that have been listening to our other pods that it was hard to find a sports bar. So he said, There's a million TVs here. This is actually a perfect setting to watch the USA game. Belly of the beast, dude. And again, I actually think this is really cool, but because Canada was up for these epic speed skating.

[Dan]

Hell yeah.

[Chris]

It was amazing the whole first period. The speed skating is on.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And we're like.

[Dan]

And by the way, Shadow Canada went in gold.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was dope. But we're like, bro, are they gonna put this game on? Yeah, we need to get insane. So for the whole first period, we're like grinding in a corner trying to get it on our phone.

[Dan]

Keep in mind, it was just completely on on a TV.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

A mere 20 yards away from us. We were just so dialed, we were like, we gotta get it going.

[Chris]

So that then we kind of get over there at some point in the first period and then someone tells us who's been watching that. They're like, fetman and, and Brat aren't playing. I'm like, what, dude? What is going on? Because again, we have no audio. And I'm like, what the is happening? So that blew my mind and actually rattled me. But I want to say I coming into the game was pretty negative. I, I obviously was rooting for USA and was like, I want to win so badly, but I had a lot of fear coming into this game. It just felt like the most typical. We lose this game because they're too fast and they're playing their best and we had a day off, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I kind of swung around after the first, even before Lark scored, I was like, we got this. Yeah. And you were kind of going almost the other way where you were getting more nervous as the game went on.

[Dan]

I was just never comfortable. Yeah, I, I, I will admit I'm a man of honor, and that's so wrong for what I'm about to. I went full coward with my family and I was like, congratulations.

[Chris]

Yeah, you were, you were being one.

[Dan]

I was being, I was being a reverse jinx snake piece of shit. I did it. I'm sorry, but I was freaking out because it just felt like we. Well, I did that after the tying goal.

[Chris]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Fair.

[Dan]

I was watching the game and I was like, this is gritty as shit. And then my, my fucking boy scored.

[Chris]

So, dude, Larks gets that ticket and I.

[Dan]

Can we take a quick moment? If I could play America the Beautiful right now while I deliver this soliloquy of, then I would. Dylan Larkin had he. This is what he's best game too. That was his best.

[Chris]

That.

[Dan]

What's that Thanos quote. Run from it. Or like, where did that lead you? No, no, no. The fear. It run from it. Destiny still arrives.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Dylan Larkin arrives in these tournaments. Yep. He had, he had a huge game in four nations. And I've been waiting for the Dylan Larkin game. Dylan Larkin played so well in this game, and obviously he had that great goal. But then if people did not see the strip set. I mean, it didn't lead to anything but like that, that play that strip and then carry the puck into the zone. Dished Jackie. I was like, this is about to be game and this man's. This man's penis is about to be so large that a helicopter is going to have to come in and airlift it out of this arena. But that is neither here nor there. But that goal and like, that whole shift from him was unbelievable. Dylan Larkin has that unbelievable tip goal and USA goes up. And I was then, I wasn't comfortable then, but I was like. Like the fact that they went up in that game. I was like, this team, this team's different. This team's here. That was big.

[Chris]

So I felt when that happened and we got that really late power play in the second, but I wanted to go so bad because I was thinking, get out of the second one nothing. And then if we had just pumped one there, it was going to be perfect. You don't get it. But even still, I felt fine. Obviously, this is a tight sphincter game. Obviously, this is stressful. What did you expect? It's Sweden and the Olympics, so you know it was going to be good. And it is. And this isn't taking anything away from Connor Hellebuck, who I thought was tremendous and has now been tremendous for two big best on best tournaments. But I never felt like Sweden was actually threatening deeply that whole game. They were competitive, but there weren't Grade A's. The way Binner faced a few. There was nothing like, oh, no, the breakaway. They had a lot of great possession. A lot of like, ooh, scary chance.

[Dan]

May I. May I deliver you a shame card?

[Chris]

Sure.

[Dan]

I can't believe you have anything to do but with a delicate brush powder Conor Hellebuk's balls.

[Chris]

Oh, he deserves a powdering. I'm saying my comfort level wasn't as scared as, obviously, I'm never going to like candle like us there. I was watching. I'm just telling you how I felt. I was watching that game going like this. Sweden is not about to score. We are all over them.

[Dan]

I thought they had some good chances.

[Chris]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm telling you. I was like, this, this. We are all over this team. They can't get anything going. Even from seven minutes until they scored. Every rush was broken up, chipped out, boys.

[Dan]

It did taper.

[Chris]

The US had layers. I was like, this is. This sucks. I hate watching a one nothing game where I'm so stressed because one Bad bounce. But truly, from seven to one, it was just like, we are so.

[Dan]

Will you do me a favor?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Will you say something nice about Connor Helbuk?

[Chris]

Conor Hellebuk.

[Dan]

Don't be, don't be sarcastic.

[Chris]

Why would I ever be sarcastic on sarcasm? Conor Hellebuk is. When he plays like that, I go, he deserves to win mvp. He's the only goal that could win mvp.

[Dan]

Did that not feel like watching him play tonight? Did it not feel like you imagine what jets fans feel like most of.

[Chris]

The regular seasons when you go, he's fucking so lost.

[Dan]

He was, was so dialed.

[Chris]

He almost, and I want to get to this goal, but he almost kicked out that Z. Like, it literally hits his pad and tucks in the side of the net.

[Dan]

Total.

[Chris]

I was like, holy, he almost saved that. But I'm just saying in that buildup, I was, you know, anytime you're watching a one goal game, forget one nothing. You're just sitting there like this, like, please get it out, please get it out. But we just were every beat, we was just, USA was like, block pass, chip out, Sweden's got nothing. And I was like, man, we're just gonna win this game. I really felt like we were just about to win this game with nothing. And it was gonna be, I mean.

[Dan]

Shots at the end of the day, I think were 40, 40 to 26. USA, you know, was they, they, they were the better team. They, they, they were the better team. But Sweden played very fucking well.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

I, I, I want to, I mean, stick taps to Sweden's defense. They played so well. They did. But we get into the third, as you said, we're chipping away. I think I thought USA played great. Me too. And it was just like, hey, man, we're going to win this game. Two nothing.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

With an empty netter. Is there anything lamer than giving up a goal within two minutes? Dude, it might be the lamest thing in hockey.

[Chris]

It sucks so much.

[Dan]

It's just so lame and pathetic.

[Chris]

They have their goalie pull it just don't get scored.

[Dan]

Goalie pulled or goalie not pulled. It's just like desperation mode. And you give up. It's like, oh, the other team is so desperate. They're a desperate fool at the end of their pitiful rope. A madman. And you give up a goal. It's just like, are you, you kidding me? And to give up a goal with like a minute and a half left to Mika Zabana Yad, who has like done what? Nothing, dude, all game. And I, this is an Opportunity to say Lucas agreement.

[Chris]

I, I said it last pod. Everyone listen. Last spot. I Luke has been my best Swede. He has had an incredible tournament and that pass was filth.

[Dan]

For those who are unaware, which I am sure many of you are.

[Chris]

Who.

[Dan]

Is leading this tournament in points? It's obvious, Mack. No, it's obvious.

[Chris]

Connor.

[Dan]

Connor McDavid who is second.

[Chris]

Mac.

[Dan]

Tied for second.

[Chris]

Lucas Raymond is Lucas fucking. It's been incredible, dude.

[Dan]

Lucas Raymond has been incredible. One goal, but eight assists. Lucas Raymond has been the preeminent playmaker for this Swedish group. And he has been everything that you have been saying of like the superstar that he believes and Detroit fans believe he is. And he came up huge in this game. Absolutely love to see that play. Cause that passed his advantages and the goal was great.

[Chris]

Unbelievable play. Hellebuck almost been miraculous.

[Dan]

That's a firecracker of a goal.

[Chris]

So when that happens, in that moment I wanted to die because that moment was when I completely flipped and I knew we were going to lose.

[Dan]

I just want like again, for the purposes of transparency. See, I, I this is what, this.

[Chris]

Is going to be some.

[Dan]

This is what we do when we cope. And I, I am, I'm admitting I'm a coward. Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

This is what I sent to my family, my Swedish family. I said this is catastrophic for usa. But it's over. Sweden already won. I apologize to the and or excuse me. I said Sweden already won. And that was just me being like.

[Chris]

Yeah, I'm weird quitter.

[Dan]

Just being a.

[Chris]

But no, I felt that. I felt in the pit of my stomach, I felt like, like, here we go. And dude, I was going to a dark place where I go like this. Oh, amazing. We left all our goal scorers off the roster. They're sitting at home. Jason Robertson, Cole Caufield, Alex Debrincat. And we lose two fucking one in the quarterfinals. Go home with nothing. You lose, you get nothing. Good day. And this the reckoning that is going to come with this roster selection after this loss. Because not only did you lose, but you lost scoring one goal against Jacob Markstrom on a back to back night.

[Dan]

I will say, oh my God, I can't imagine the tight butthole moment. Can't imagine. The tight butthole moment for the T. The people who picked this roster when Vincent Trocheck and J.T. miller on are on the ice for the last 90 seconds because you brought.

[Chris]

Them here for this. And that goal goes in and you're.

[Dan]

Like, oh my God. But either way we get to overtime.

[Chris]

Can I just Say, by the way, having seen it now, I hate that these are going to get decided by three on three overtimes.

[Dan]

Oh, it's absolutely terrible.

[Chris]

I. Dude, I didn't even think. I didn't think I was gonna like it.

[Dan]

But having seen it, I want so dumb melt. And. And you know, I saw a couple people who very logically were like some. Someone tweeted something like, like, we've already lost Kevin Fiala. It looks like Sidney Crosby might be hurt. We don't need to risk these guys. Dude, it's the fucking.

[Chris]

It's the Olympics.

[Dan]

It's like if we're doing it, we're doing it and playing 3v3. I hate it. It's just. That's just my personal take. I'm not saying that that is the right take. I'm not saying it's some educated take. It's my personal take as a hockey fan, which is all that I am. I fucking hate it.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Olympic hockey slash any. And that's why in the NHL in fucking playoffs it goes to 5v5Y. Because in true elimination important hockey, it should be the teams that decided and it should be five on five that decided. I fucking hate it. So don't like it. But we get to overtime and going into it, it's like, is USA the better team? On paper, definitely. But at the same time it's like three on three. There's fucking such good talent on this Sweden team. And I was like, this is crazy, but we can fast forward through it. They're really working. Weren't that many other than the Dylan Larkin chance, which was.

[Chris]

Which was a Jack.

[Dan]

Which was Jack Hughes. Dylan Larkin had his. An unbelievable strip in the D zone. Carries it down, drop past to Jack Hughes with a great chance on the slot.

[Chris]

And just Matthews and Genzel all had pretty good chances. And that's when I was sick again.

[Dan]

Dude, I actually wanted to bring up. Jake Gensel is so goddamn good at hockey.

[Chris]

That's correct.

[Dan]

He's crazy. Like, he's just. It's wild how impressive he is.

[Chris]

Sorry, we did forget this because I just want to say this. Late in the third. A visibly injured.

[Dan]

Oh my God. Jacob Slavin.

[Chris]

A visibly.

[Dan]

Thank you.

[Chris]

Jacob Slavin, who has not been. You know, it hasn't been the world beater that he was at Four Nations. If Jacob Slaven made one of the most all father plays I've ever.

[Dan]

It was one of the most athletic plays and truly all father moment. If I know every Carolina fan clocked this moment, there was a Play in the third period. A high danger opportunity for Sweden. And Jacob Slavin. Jacob Slavin made a play where he, like, kick saved a puck, had his body completely twisted around, and he sold his entire body to Valhalla.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And extended in midair and, like, poked a puck away. It was the most unbelievable, like, three plays in one play moment.

[Chris]

He also had an incredible, like, backdoor breakup. Remember, I was like, who was that?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

And it was Slave. Yeah. So, God, he. He showed up in a big way with like, five minutes left in that game where I was like, that's the all father. There he is. But, yeah, huge credit to him to.

[Dan]

Close this game out. There's nothing else to talk about other than at this point. Actually, may I. May I just quickly have a. Have a moment?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

I talked to our boys, Johnny Lazarus and Colby Cohen, by the way. Anyone listening right now? If you're not following Morning cup of Hockey, go follow it on Instagram right now. Go watch their show. Johnny Lazarus, Colby Cohen, two of the best guys in the game. Game. Go give them a listen. Go give them a follow. But I popped on their show this morning, and I was. I was pumping the tires of my boy, Jack Hughes.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

And Colby very fairly was like, the commentary there, though, is, can he do it against big, tough competition? Who assisted Dylan Larkin's goal? Both Hughes brothers. Yep. Jack Hughes with the primary.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Jack Hughes was unbelievable today. And that one shift where he was literally spin cycling his own, and everyone's just like, go, Jack, go, go, go. Jack Hughes has. He's always had it, but he is embracing and in the middle of his zone. He's in his zone, baby. I'm in a fucking zone, man.

[Chris]

Zone.

[Dan]

Jack Hughes is in it right now. He played amazing as he has all tournament, but to transition that into the other Hughes. This game was all about Quinn, and this overtime was all about Quinn. We go on and on, we wax poetic about Connor McDavid on Team Canada and the way he moves on the ice, how fast he is, how much dominance and control and poise and presence he has when he has the puck. And the way everyone goes, holy shit, that is officially happening with Quinn Hughes. The way this kid moves with the puck, the way he commands the offensive zone as a defenseman is unbelievable. And I. I have not seen. I didn't see it in four nations. Totally. We see it with Minnesota, but I think we've never seen it like this. That overtime when Quinn Hughes was on the ice, Team USA went, quinn, take the.

[Chris]

You take it Please, Matt. Bullies just like, here, take it. I said to you, Jack Eichel was the only one who was like, and. And he correctly hammered that one time.

[Dan]

And they were for they not forcing it to him. They were like, get it to Jack, Jack. Jack Hughes had that presence too. But when Quinn Hughes was on the ice in that overtime, the directive was, get Quinn puck. And Matt Boldy, who is easily one of the best players in this tournament and one of the best players on Team usa, he had that puck on the half wall and he looked up and went, where are you, Quinn?

[Chris]

Yep.

[Dan]

Where are you, Huggy Bear? And he found him. And Huggy walked the line. He found his lane, stepped in and fucking ping. Cheddar cheese Barn in called, bro.

[Chris]

When. And he went like this. Like that was another one where they were like, change. And he was like, nah, I'm good, actually. I'm actually gonna go win the game.

[Dan]

Nope.

[Chris]

I need you to know this. It admittedly Kale is on the ice with. With Connor and Nate and there's other guys who can. Who can wheel and deal just like him. But think about that really famous goal with the Kale scored where he spin cycles that defenseman on the half wall. He's coming up the wing and comes back down forehand back and under the back bar. Quinn is in three on three. In three. And not saying Quinn isn't diabolical five on five, he obviously is. But in three on three with that space, he is the guy on Team USA that they go, you are the one capable of actually creating chaos.

[Dan]

Dictated all.

[Chris]

And so literally they were just like, dude, we are. Some of us are scorers and we can get good shots, but it literally has to be. You just get the puck and then start doing crazy shit because then good things will happen. And I could feel it, dude. Sandra even texted me. She was like, I actually feel like Quinn's got to score. I was like, yeah, Snipe job. Because he literally would get it. And he's. He's like, oh, I can cut back. I can loop around. I can go inside out, push it to my forearm. Everything we were. We were even saying as he was coming down the slot those two times before that, we were like, do it, Quinn. Do it, do it, do it. Just because it felt like it was going to happen from him, not even necessarily off his stick, but it was just going to be something he created.

[Dan]

Yes.

[Chris]

He is the one who is actually causing problems. 3 on 3. So even though I hate 3 on 3, I am so thrilled and Lucky that we have a Quinn Hughes out there who can participate in a normal doubt. But I wouldn't take him off the ice once.

[Dan]

No doubt. And yeah, I think the big thing for me is we talked about Canada, we talked about USA or Canada had already played Czechia, but for usa, a lot of people were like, they haven't played top competition. That was top competition. It's some of the best hockey you will face in this tournament. And the way Quinn was being cheeky and doing whatever he wanted at. Like there was even a play where he, you know, he was doing, doing his thing, kind of spinning around, walking the line and he turned the puck over and he was so calm, like, whatever, I'll get back, I'll get. And he got the puck.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, that is our guy.

[Dan]

I mean, it's like we've been talking about. I think both Hughes brothers, I think Jack Eichel are. Have been some. And Austin Matthews have been some of the US's best players in this tournament. But Quinn Hughes, Quinn Hughes is the guy, like he is the guy on this team. And that performance just kind of sealed the deal so far through this tournament. So unbelievable wins from every team today.

[Chris]

Unbelievable quarterfinals, unbelievable.

[Dan]

You know, three overtimes that were just out of control. So tomorrow as we wrap up here, we got the women's ripping it up. We're going to be going to the gold medal game. USA Canada at 7:10pm Milan time. Sweden Switzerland playing for the bronze at 2:40. That is not a game to sleep on, by the way. That Sweden team is unbelievable. But then the day after that. So we've got a day off for the men's. The day after that. The matchups are going to be finland Canada at 4:40pm Milan time. USA playing again late night 9:10 against Slovakia. But we've got our final four for the men's. We've got our gold medal and bronze medal games for the women's. Tomorrow continues to be electric here in Milan. We're going to wrap up this live. If you didn't catch it, don't worry, it's going to pop up right up on all of our channels. No worries. Whatever. It's almost 2am here and we were.

[Chris]

Joined, by the way, earlier today, you saw in the story by the good old Canadian boy, Seth Jarvis crew. That interview is going to be on the end of this.

[Dan]

So right now, yeah, we're going to.

[Chris]

Repost this on the video tab and this is going to go roll right into the.

[Dan]

Yeah. If you're watching the live right Now. And you want to watch, check out, as you should, our chat with the good old Canadian boy Seth Jarvis's buddies, who have come too.

[Chris]

Hilarious.

[Dan]

We were hanging out with them. Having. And we're gonna see them much.

[Chris]

Oh, my God. We hung out with them all night.

[Dan]

I absolutely love these guys. It's unbelievable. So tune into that as we upload this. But unbelievable stuff. Milan Olympics continue to deliver. Everyone here continues to deliver. Shout out everybody involved with this. It is so amazing to be here. This has been unreal. You got anything?

[Chris]

I got two words. Wow. Skate hard.

[Dan]

All right, well, this is a special moment. This is the first time we've had six guests at once, and real hockey fans.

[Chris]

I think the better six, to be honest.

[Dan]

Truly. Truly. I mean, like, we could have picked six random guys from Team Canada, and it wouldn't be as good as this. But real hockey fans and real Canada fans will know this is. Do you guys have a name yet? Like, are you going by something yet? Or is, like, I want to call you just the Jarvey Crew, but, like, what's the. What's the name here?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Good old Canadian boys.

[Dan]

There you go. The good old Canadian. I mean, eventually, yeah, whatever. But the. The. The now famous Truly Seth Jarvis gang, you are here in Milan, unbelievably making your way from. From four nations to so many stops in between, to now here in Italy for the Olympics. Quickly, introduce yourselves, all of you. I mean, this is ridiculous, but you gotta do it.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I'm Brian.

[Dan]

What? Did you have a stage name that you were gonna think?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I don't think we're doing nicknames or.

[Chris]

I forgot my name.

[Dan]

Oh, I actually do.

[Chris]

I'm nervous.

[Dan]

Yeah, I mean, like, what you go by?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I guess there's, like, a hundred nicknames, but I'm Brian, AKA Vern.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I'm Sloan, AKA Doug, or Ebug. You shrug it. I'm Lucas. They call me Chump or Hummer. I'm Noah, and they call me Wags.

[Dan]

Great.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I'm Matt. They call me Mx, Cleo or Cleo.

[Dan]

Okay.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And I'm Lucas. And they call me Friesy.

[Chris]

God.

[Dan]

Fantastic.

[Chris]

Those are good old Canadian nicknames, I'll tell you that much. Yeah, I mean, just.

[Dan]

You guys are perfect so far. Tell everyone one of you, like, the origin story of how you guys started showing up on TSN Bar, down our page and stuff like that as you kind of showed up to Four Nations.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

You want a prize? Yeah. Yeah. I guess it all started down at Four nations when our flight got canceled there, and we. We decided to drive. And that was like, Jarv wasn't even playing. I think he got scratched the game before. And we were like, well, I already paid for the tickets, so let's trek down there and hope for the best.

[Chris]

And it was Boston, right? Yeah, because I was. I thought it was the. It was like a blizzard in Montreal. We got.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

There was a blizzard. And then I think even the next day, we got rescheduled. There was a big plane crash. So it was like a double whammy. We were at the airport for, like, 12 hours in Winnipeg trying to figure it out. We were like, maybe we can fly to, like, Toronto bus to Buffalo. Drive from Buffalo.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But nothing worked out. And then, yeah, we were like, fuck it, we'll just drive. And then even then, like, didn't really think much of it. And then once we found out Jarv was playing, like. Like, kind of started to see some things on Twitter. He said, like, oh, like, my buddies drove down here, and we were like, oh, like, some random reporter tweeted. And then it's like, no, like, TSN retweeted it. And we're like, holy.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And.

[Chris]

And.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Oh.

[Chris]

And then.

[Dan]

No, no, no. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That was my one job. Yeah.

[Dan]

No, no. Dang. Don't let the suit censor you. Okay. Just be. Yes.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Okay. No, I'll. I'll tone it down. But, yeah. No, then it was. I think it was kind of when we got on tv, was at the game with Kyle from Sportsnet. He did a little bit with us, and then it was from there that. When that kind of went viral. And since then, I guess everybody on the Internet's kind of just picked up on it and been. Been loving it.

[Chris]

Well, how. How was the drive?

[Dan]

Yeah. And was it a rental car? Like, did you. When. Once the plane was canceled, or is this.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It was my mom's Nissan.

[Chris]

That's incredible.

[Dan]

So were you guys just, like, with someone in the trunk?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We all. He was in the trunk. I. Yeah, I slept in the trunk for about eight hours.

[Dan]

That's such an ebug move.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

They didn't want to wake me up to go to the gas station, so it was kind of tough.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Wait, wait, you're telling us you slept through a gas station pit stop?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like, yeah, like, I woke up because we stopped, and then all of a sudden, I see them all walk out of the car. Not like, say, hey, we're at the gas station. Do you want to get out?

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

So I just see them all walk in and then come out with food. I was like, thanks, fellas.

[Chris]

Stretching their legs. Little fresh air just in this trunk.

[Dan]

Doug's genuinely like the golden retriever just.

[Chris]

Asleep in the handcuffed. And I'm like, okay, so you drove the whole way?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

No, we. We switched out.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

On the way back. I think I drove the good last little bit. Vern.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Vern, I think, drove three hours combined.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

He didn't let me sleep during his turn. Drive. Driving. So I had, like, the 5:00am shift.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And I'm like, beat, red eyes. They're all sleeping. And I'm like. With Humble in the front seat, and I'm like, you've got to stay awake with me. So we're like, listen, off the 50 states, and then, like, two hours in.

[Dan]

Can you do, by the way? Well done, boys. That's. That's.

[Chris]

Good job.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We got it eventually. But, yeah.

[Dan]

Ricochet shot at Arkansas.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And then I think out of the 30 hours, I drove, like, two and a half hours.

[Dan]

I had a hard time.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But genuinely, I think I would have killed us if I stayed down.

[Chris]

Right. You were doing everyone a favor and then.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But they all gave me a hard time about it.

[Chris]

That's incredible. Was it your first time to Boston?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. What'd you think? It was great city.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I mean, we were there for, like, 40 hours, but.

[Dan]

And throughout the whole process, like, on the drive, were you communicating with Jarvey, being like, we're making it. We're driving down, or did you leave him in the dark the whole time?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like, I think we FaceTimed him one time, and he was like, where are you guys now? And we're like, chicago. Yeah.

[Chris]

He's like, oh, my God, you're dead. You're dead.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Was like, he went to bed, and then that was, like, the one conversation.

[Dan]

That sounds like him. Yeah. That's incredible.

[Chris]

So then roll that into how Air Canada. How did they get in contact with you guys? How did the trip get planned for. For this whole thing?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Well, I mean, obviously at the beginning, when we found out he made the team.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It was like he turned around, he went out the next day, and then we're, like, firing off dm, just trying to get, like, anything going. We looked at ticket prices and everything. It was nuts. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And then, I guess, like, they caught wind of all the comments and stuff, people tagging Air Canada, and they ended up reaching out to us, and they made this whole thing possible, like, got behind the wheel and set us up, hooked us up and treated us really well. Like some upgrades on the way there.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Dan]

All right, here we go.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. No, so can't complain. They've been awesome. They've. They've made this whole thing possible.

[Dan]

So we were laughing right when he made the team. Team. We text him, we were like, let's go, buddy. We'll see you in Milan. He goes, I mean, I just got rinsed on a thirty thousand dollar vacation. And he was like, but I mean, best excuse of all time. Yeah. Yeah.

[Chris]

Were you guys supposed to go there to Raleigh? Did I see that? Yeah. Yes. What was the plan?

[Dan]

So we were gonna go to Raleigh.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think he was supposed to go to Cabo the week before or week after maybe. But yeah, we were gonna go to Raleigh and. And none of us booked the flight cancellations, so we were either soaking it or coming here.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No choice. We had to get here.

[Dan]

So. With the whole four nation. Because, like, that was just a blast, obviously. And it was so cool seeing you guys get on tv. And like, the. Seth's reaction to it was so awesome. When Olympics became a possibility, was it immediate in your heads, like, we should go to Milan as well? Were you guys thinking about this for a year?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like, I mean, obviously when, like, it was even a possibility after Four nations, we were like, there's no way we're not going.

[Dan]

Yeah, there you go.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It wasn't named like the initial roster. We were like, well, I mean, we'll figure out something fun to do after we like, he got over it, but obviously like, no other way we would have had it. We got here. So.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah. What was the flight from? Like, because you were coming from Winnipeg. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

What was.

[Chris]

What was the flight?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, a couple of us came from Raleigh because. Oh, and I were in Raleigh for a bit.

[Chris]

Nice.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And then so we went. Went Raleigh to Toronto to Montreal, in here, and they went, Winnipeg. Montreal.

[Chris]

Okay. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Milan.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah. It's a bag, dude.

[Dan]

So give us a bit of the backstory, like, to backtrack a little bit. Like, is. Has it always been this crew like U6 and Jarvey or, you know, like, how did this all come together? How long have you guys known each.

[Chris]

Other and did each of you meet? Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We all like, even day.

[Chris]

What time was it when we met? It was a Wednesday.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, it was a Wednesday at. But no, we all kind of just like grew up playing hockey together or against each other and went to school together. Like, a couple of us went to Starbuck Hockey Academy together and then most of them went to Shaftesbury together. So kind of just stayed in touch like that.

[Dan]

Amazing. Yeah, so good.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Amazing rural Manitoba. So I'll show people out.

[Dan]

You get here to Milan. Or was there a moment, moment after the whole Air Canada thing when you get hooked up that you were like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, are we actually still here?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And like, every moment.

[Chris]

Every.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We've been here.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And like, what. What are the first couple days been like?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think just Air Canada's treated us like gold and they've done basically treat us like we're Olympians and done everything for us. It's been exceptional. And I think just being here and kind of doing. Going around a lot of touring and interviews and stuff like that has been kind of surreal moment for all of us.

[Dan]

Okay, talk more about that. Because, like, the. The fact that, I mean. I mean, when. When this came about for us, we were like, oh, of course. Like, let's all just, like, kick it and chat. But you're doing a lot of this now. Like, you guys are doing. You're getting media trained here. You've got, like, hits before the game and stuff. Is this. Or is it overwhelming? Are you guys like, what the hell is going on here? Is it a blast?

[Chris]

What are all the emotions and maybe up the media training? Because we got four F bombs in 12 seconds. So, yeah, media train.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Media trained is a stretch for sure. I don't think any of us were prepared to show up here and just like.

[Chris]

No.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

No emotion could describe it.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like, this is. We're in Italy.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

For free.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Don't count me on that.

[Dan]

Guys, we're a pro podcast.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But, yeah, every day we wake up and we're doing something new with different people, and it's like, holy, We're. I can't believe we're actually doing this.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Insane. We're not supposed to be here.

[Dan]

Yeah, this is. And is this. How many times have you boys been to Europe, if ever?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

This is our first time. Besides him for a school trip.

[Chris]

Nice.

[Dan]

There you go.

[Chris]

Where were you?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

London, Paris and Actua.

[Chris]

Okay. All right.

[Dan]

That's pretty solid. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, listen, that's the best thing about. I mean, I think with those first clips that people saw of you guys, it's obviously so cool to have a moment where you're showing up supporting your friend. You have the story of driving 15 hours down to the game in Boston, Austin. But I think the best part about it is this, that I imagine for you guys, that drive was. Wasn't even a second thought. You were like, of Course we're going to go. And I think that embodies the whole hockey family relationship so much. So for you guys, to have five of the six of you, your first European experience together and to be here for Jarvey, for something like this, this has got to be one of the coolest feelings you've ever had. I mean, like, this is a trip that you would have always remembered forever, but now certainly will be an all timer. That must feel awesome.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, I think it's just a once in a lifetime opportunity for us to be six best friends. Since you're younger, just hanging out in Italy and Yeah, I think just being here is as a group has just been unreal and surreal moment.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Not to mention getting to see Canada play hockey at the Olympics. Right. Like, that's pretty sick. Which games have you been to?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We were at the Czech Republic or, sorry, the France game. Just now and then.

[Chris]

Okay. Yeah. My God. Dude. So awesome. What was that experience like?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think just the hearing all the chants and like the European crowds and that kind of thing. Just the vibe here has been unreal. It's all these chants and we don't even know what they're saying half of the time. We just join them and yeah, it's been unreal and sweet. Sing Sweet Caroline with the comedian. That was a good one for sure.

[Dan]

I feel very torn about that, by the way. We're like, we're kind of Boston boys and that's a big Red Sox song. And I feel like Canada has kind of taken.

[Chris]

Take that dude from Neil.

[Dan]

He loves it, but I'm like, what the this is.

[Chris]

I definitely have been choosing my allegiance. I actually was saying to somebody the other day, because we were at the Canada check game and I had my Canada swag on everybody everywhere. And people were like, people that recognize were like, you have Canada stuff on. And I was like, dude, I love the Canadian team. I root for them every day of the year, except once. And then I hate them. Like, I'm. We can't win. I hope it's you. But so other than those two teams, I've been picking my allegiance on who has the coolest chats in the rink. Like, one fan base starts doing a cool chat, I'm like, boom, I'm in. I love it. Like, that's been a vibe, but it's.

[Dan]

Oh, it's. It's like we were just talking about. It's like the family friendship thing is so overpowering. It's like, you know, Dewey's one of our best buds and it's like, even at Four Nations. I remember we were watching, you know, that first U.S. canada game, and he made a great play, and in the stands, I, like, cheered for him. And one of our US Buddies turned to me and was like, you rat prick. And I was like, I don't know what to tell you, but we were lucky enough, you know, years ago now, Jarvey came on our show for the first time. And, you know, this was before. He has become such a darling to fans everywhere, and I think you guys have tons of stories that we want to hear that just show the type of person that he is. And it's been so cool for us. Like, he's been on the show a bunch of times now, but just getting to know him and seeing the world get to know him, I feels like he hasn't changed at all. All, like, he gets. But do you know why? Do you know why? He literally.

[Chris]

He. He.

[Dan]

He finally logged on, was visibly sweating, and he was like, holy boys, get. Downloading Chrome was so brutal.

[Chris]

I. I actually, I'm. Now I'm mad at myself because I'm about to sewer him on this, but he has become the, like, running joke with us. With every new guest that comes on, on, if they're a little late, they're like, I'm so sorry. Five minutes late. And we're like, don't worry. Seth Jarvis was an hour late. Like, every guest has heard, yeah, it's like the running.

[Dan]

But it is, like, it does feel like for us, and we want to hear from you guys. It feels like, you know, he gets. Gets drafted, gets his shot, starts becoming a superstar, makes Team Canada for four nations, now the Olympics, and he's just shining every moment he gets, but he just feels like that same kid that you guys all grew up playing hockey with. What are some of your favorite Jarvey stories over the last few years or even back from, like, childhood?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

One more recent one was they were in Vegas, and he said he'd leave, like, we're all going to visit him. And he said he'd leave a key for us to get, like, to his apartment.

[Dan]

And was this just, like, middle of the season, like, Carolina's playing Vegas during.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like, our, like, school breaks.

[Dan]

Oh, nice.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We don't visit him, and then we get there, and he's like, oh, fuck, I forgot to leave you guys a key. So we decided to walk. Walk to a target and pick up a football. And he used to have this park right outside of his apartment. So we ran a couple routes for a good four or Five hours. Then finally went, grabbed some food and then sat back down in that park and just waited.

[Chris]

So the skinny post is on point right now.

[Dan]

You guys played, like, two full American football games.

[Chris]

Who's hucking it? Who's qb?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

All of us.

[Chris]

Yeah, we were gonna save the arm, honestly, you know, like, yeah, shoulders. Shoulders were.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Definitely took a beating on that one. But.

[Chris]

So what does he say when he gets back eight hours later? Does he go, my bad? Sup, fellas?

[Dan]

Yeah, just. Just up, fellas.

[Chris]

Yeah, because you guys run routes for five hours and you're like, actually, yeah, we sure did.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, there's the football. We actually lost that football.

[Dan]

Don't know where, but honestly, that's a good thing. Like, that football belongs in that moment. Like, I feel like that football's in that park now. It never leaves. A new group of friends get stranded and they start playing football.

[Chris]

Knowing Jarvie, he's probably pissed he missed the routes. Obviously, he's like, dude, that would have been gas. That sounds awesome. That's really good.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's unbelievable. Anything that's been happening here. Like, have you seen him a few times since you've been here? Because I know the boys schedules are kind of crazy. Like, you don't really get to get too much time.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, I know.

[Dan]

We.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We caught him a little bit after that France game, and then even we went out for dinner with him just the other night, spent some time with him there. And also last night, he swung by at the Canada House house, and we got to spend. Spend a bit of time with him. But, I mean, it is. It's funny, when we went out for dinner, none of us speak Italian or anything like that, and, you know, we're letting him order, and he's kind of just pointing at things on the menu and. And, you know, the waitress is kind of, you know, just asking if we want one or two, and he's just kind of nodding. Yeah, yeah, we'll take one of these.

[Dan]

One of these. You can really upsell Jarvey. They're like, four, five. And he's like, yeah.

[Chris]

Scary crew. When Jarvie's in charge. Yeah, that's actually. Actually, he's rattling.

[Dan]

I think that's part of the bit. They're like this. Let's just see what kind of trouble you can get into here. It's unbelievable when you guys think of him and, like, who he is as a person. Are there any stories that come to mind from, like, playing together or growing up together?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I mean, I think, like, for me, I know, like, a Lot of it's all laughs and jokes, but just seeing him, like, when we're out in Winnipeg, the amount of people that come up to him, even, it's like, oh, hey, I played against you once when we were 8 years old. He's always like, oh, yeah, I remember you. Like, no way. Like, yeah, that was sick. Like, I remember you playing that team. He always takes a picture, always, like, acknowledges them as a person. So that's. That's pretty cool to see that he still is just that, like, genuine guy around. Literally, everybody. Doesn't matter where we are. Like, if we're out at a bar, if we're out, you know, for coffee in the morning, like, it's always. He'll take the time to talk to somebody, like, thank them for taking the time to talk to him. And it's pretty cool to see that side of him always.

[Chris]

Dude, sometimes he pisses me off because every time he talks to himself, he's like, like, oh, you know, I guess Team Canada needs a water boy. And I'm like, shut the up, dude. You're gonna score 50 goals in the national. Like, you're good. He's like, I guess. I don't know.

[Dan]

I'm working on it.

[Chris]

But it's true, though, because he's such a nice guy, but he's also got that work ethic, right? You know, he's just, like, so committed to the craft. That road to 50. He was like, it's a joke. And I was like, it's not a joke, dude. You are actually gonna do it.

[Dan]

But it's you guys, too, right? It's like, you are who your closest circle is. So it's like, it's not surprising to see that six Buds would, you know, fly across the world for him. It makes sense because he is the way he is. It makes sense that you guys are the way you are. So it's. It's. I'm curious now, like, what are you guys up to these days with, like, work and school and playing or anything like that? But also, this has become such a fun thing. It almost. With today's day and age, you can kind of do anything. It almost feels like we got to keep this show on the road here. So, like, what's going on in your heads about what we're doing now?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I mean, I, like. I graduated this year, and I start working later in the.

[Dan]

Congrats.

[Chris]

Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. That's a win.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And.

[Chris]

Yeah. God, I'm so mad that wasn't on the mic. There was a high school There was a high school. Chirp High School.

[Dan]

I. I told you they got a.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Career in this is.

[Chris]

That was funny.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. No. And then I'm living the unemployed life right now. I've been in Raleigh for like the last month and a half.

[Chris]

Amazing, dude.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I know.

[Dan]

Dude, has he given you a key yet or.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Oh yeah, I got a key.

[Chris]

Yeah. So I'm a football.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, no, it's been sweet. So hopefully go back to Raleigh at some point. Maybe leech off him a little bit longer.

[Chris]

Yeah, Good, good. As long as you can. That's awesome.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

What the.

[Dan]

Don't. Don't be shy, boys. What about the rest of you? Like, you know.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Well, I think most of us are trying to finish up school right now. I'm just finishing up a history degree, trying to go into law.

[Dan]

All.

[Chris]

Let's go.

[Dan]

Right?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. I don't know. Just finishing up school.

[Dan]

How many of you are still in school?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Everyone else except him. Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Look at you. You're ahead of the curve.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Taking the long road, like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

And are the rest of you. Where are you guys at? In Canada?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Are you in the States at University of Manitoba?

[Dan]

Yeah, Manitoba. Okay. Great, great, great. That's amazing. And it's like, you know, what are you guys seeing is do you want to do a career in sports? Do you want to do a career in media? Do you want to do. You know, you're got a lawyer here. So.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, I was thinking more occupational thera. And if that doesn't work out. Gym teacher.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Summer's off. Summer's off. That's a great life. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Kids with dodgeball, play. Play road hockey with them. Hit him a bit.

[Chris]

But like.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, not like that.

[Chris]

Just a few. Just a few.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

No Mr. D. Mr. Mr. D style. Just lay a kid out open. Open ice.

[Dan]

But yeah, there we go.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That's my route. But yeah, and then I'm just going to firefighting school and starting that up.

[Dan]

Come on.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Just coaching hockey. Me and Lucas also coach hockey and so does Matt and Sloan as well. Yeah, it's the best staying involved in.

[Dan]

The game and I mean, this feels like it's got to be a reunion, though. It's like anytime something special happens with this guy, if you're not on the road, I mean like let's.

[Chris]

I mean, we gotta get.

[Dan]

That's what I'm saying. If Carolina makes it to a cup, if I don't see you in both cities, it's going to be a problem. I mean like this is on.

[Chris]

Most unbelievable because dude, because we've been doing the. The Florida Edmonton Hawk every year now. I'm like, jesus Christ. But it ends up being. It ends up feeling like a camp because you're just like, you're on the same flights with everybody. You know, hey, what's up? You know, after game six. So, yeah, we need. We need a Raleigh. We need a Raleigh Stanley cup run. That would be incredible.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That would be insane.

[Dan]

All right, I want to go around for each of you, what's been your favorite part of Milan so far. Can be a meal, can be one of the games, can be anything. But I want to hear from all six of you.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

You for me so far as we. Seth put in, we were going to McDonald's the other night.

[Chris]

Oh, dude, we get to McDonald's too?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, we were going to McDonald's and we're like. He's like, it's a quick walk just by.

[Dan]

By the way, every Italian listening to this just shriveled.

[Chris]

Yeah, of course, of course.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

You know, it was post dinner snack before bed. We had to refuel, so we took a walk to McDonald's. And it was a long haul.

[Dan]

It was a.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It was a long trek.

[Chris]

But.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But we had some music going, hitting some dances on the road, and there you go.

[Chris]

Yeah. Gotta give him a piggyback, dude.

[Dan]

Yeah, we did a little McDonald's taste test, and I think the big thing for us was I was like, I don't feel like after.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, yeah, I got a big arch.

[Chris]

I tried a big arch too. Heard of that, dude. I was like, oh, my God. Unbelievable.

[Dan]

Yeah, it really was. It was really good.

[Chris]

And the. What the. Oh, we. So we. There was a bird called the 1955.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I saw that, dude.

[Chris]

Didn't get it. It was incredible.

[Dan]

That was pretty cool.

[Chris]

At the same time, this. And then somebody was like, that's probably when McDonald's was founded. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's. But I didn't even look. I haven't checked yet, but that makes a lot of sense.

[Dan]

All right, what was yours? It is.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think for me, maybe it was two days ago. We went up to like the Air Canada flight deck. And then after we did that, they took us up top of the building. So, like, we got to see the church. It was like, it was an unreal view up there. And that was super cool. We got to see all. All of kind of Milan from down there. And Seth was also with us, so it's cool to again experience that all together.

[Chris]

Yeah, that's epic.

[Dan]

Shout out to Air Canada Really?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Pulling out all the stops for the boys.

[Chris]

This is unbelievable, dude. I, I, I, we, we were on our first Air Canada ever. We were at a wedding in Montreal, and everybody's like, oh, Air Canada gets delayed all the time. And I was like, it'll be fine. And then we get delayed, like six hours in Toronto. And I was like, God damn it. And then we get an email from Air Canada that's like, hey, here's a 25 voucher to use at the airport. And I was like, what, Chris, we're.

[Dan]

Trying to gas up Air Canada. What are we doing?

[Chris]

Ever since, it's been incredible every time.

[Dan]

That's true.

[Chris]

My first trip ever, I was like, wow. Everybody was right. And then ever since I've taken Air Canada, it's been amazing. So now I got to get on your guys too, because you're really getting hooked up.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I'd say my, like, top experience has been. Was yesterday when we got to meet Cassidy Gray.

[Dan]

She was a. Oh, she was an.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Awesome person to meet. Couldn't have done it without our management team over there, Phoebe, Thomas and Rebecca. Thank you guys. But yeah, as soon as we saw the tick tocks, we were just like, we have to see that. Like, we have to meet her. Like, yeah, that was awesome. Like, super surreal moment.

[Dan]

There you go. Do you love that?

[Chris]

So quick tangent here because that was all time time. And the tick tocks have been so good. She's such, such a gamer. Down to do all these incredible videos. What's she like? What, what have you guys been doing with her? That's been, that's been like my favorite storyline.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I mean, she's been awesome. Like, we, she spent the whole day with us, obviously didn't have to, but she was great. I mean, like, we did some tick tocks with her and I think they were all like one takes.

[Chris]

Really? She's a pro.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That's a pro.

[Dan]

That's a pro.

[Chris]

Knew it. She's a personal best for our group.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Group. Yeah.

[Chris]

I mean, on the trip to Raleigh.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Last year, we were probably five or six takes every video. So going with her was awesome. But I mean, yesterday she came out skating with us and obviously we did another tick tock there. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah, she did eat it.

[Chris]

Not like the seal slide, was that what you mean? Or she also ate. Yeah. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Like a grizzled veteran, though.

[Chris]

Tucked your head. Yeah.

[Dan]

There you go. Yes.

[Chris]

She knows how to first rodeo. Yeah. That's awesome.

[Dan]

That's fantastic.

[Chris]

Yeah, she's great. Has she met Jarvey? Yet or last night. Okay, last night. Okay.

[Dan]

Keep snapping around.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think just going to the Canada House and experiencing that and just how cool a place it is. Like, showing up and just looking around and seeing all the, like, amazing stuff around the walls, like all the Canadian stuff, and just seeing the rink, obviously, in the Canada House there, which is just. Just unreal moments. And then.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Watching the games there and all the other Olympian sports and all that and stuff, and just cheering on with the rest of the Canadians. It's kind of seems like you're at home still.

[Dan]

It did.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Home away from home.

[Dan]

Such a blast there. And you're so right. Like, the people that you see, it's. Aaron Ambrose is a good friend. And being we're in that Canada House, and I text her and she was like, my cousins are there. They literally just arrived. And, like, in walks a bunch of people with Ambrose jerseys on.

[Chris]

Yeah. This is so cool. Yeah.

[Dan]

Like, the whole space is amazing. Amazing. But then it's just all the people you see, it's unreal.

[Chris]

Oh, that's a great question. Yeah.

[Dan]

Is that true? So. So we're hearing that at the Canada House, you guys are more of celebs than Jared, I think.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. Like, one of the rules we got when we got in there is don't speak to pros unless you're spoken to. And then they come up to us and they're like, these guys. Guys love it. So then it's like they come to us. Can we get a picture? We're not allowed to talk to them. So can we talk to you?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And it's. Yeah, it's sick. And then we also went to Duomo a little bit ago, and we were with Jarv. And there's people coming up to us, asking us to take pictures, talking about Stephanie standing right behind. They recognize us before, probably because we're wearing his jersey.

[Chris]

But, yeah, they're like, God, it be so cool to meet him. And you're like, he's actually here.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I know. We just part and he's standing right there.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, I see him waving.

[Dan]

It's also, when you guys are together, it's like a giant amiibo around.

[Chris]

It's like you're one direction, you get tunnel vision. I can only see them. There's nothing else around. Who. Who did the. Which one of you guys did the curling? Selly?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That was us, too.

[Chris]

That was. That was strong. I really liked it. I really liked it. And here's the thing. I don't know if you like, because because there was the wheelbarrow too. Who. You guys? Who did the wheelbarrow? You guys? Yeah, so it's like the two for one specials are sick. But it's like I felt like the guys who went solo, I had a tougher task to compete with that.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. I think it's just because we got that chem. So.

[Chris]

Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We're line mates.

[Chris]

So.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And we're both out there.

[Chris]

But dude, I gotta tell you, if anyone on the team, if two dudes on the team did a curling selly at an Olympic game, it would be the greatest moment of my.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Well, they better give the good old Canadian boys to show it up.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah. God, that would be incredible. That, that was really.

[Dan]

So I am curious how did this trip work with school and like your lives? Like is. Are you on break right now or. Okay, okay. That's per. I was gonna say this would be a fantastic situation if you were like we're obviously going to Milan.

[Chris]

So dude, I was gonna say them. I would have gone anyway.

[Dan]

Of course.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I have one situation on that one. Yeah, we're working on it. I'm trying to defer my. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to defer my exam. Cuz we land at like 11:59 on the 24th and I'm an exam at 9am on the 25th. So emailed the, emailed the teacher and he's like that's actually. Probably shouldn't say his name.

[Dan]

Yeah, yeah, it's Careful, careful.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

He may be the dean of my faculty. So probably shouldn't, probably shouldn't throw out his name.

[Dan]

But I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, this is going to be real easy when, if and when Canada wins gold. You just put Sid on the phone with him and be like hey buddy, push his exam back.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

See that's what I'm hoping for potentially. But yeah, he said this is not a good enough excuse to defer it.

[Dan]

So it's not.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, apparently what is.

[Dan]

Yeah, I think we gotta, we gotta say this guy's name and just sewer him. Like we'll just bully this dude into pushing your example.

[Chris]

Pushed. I promise you that trend on the.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Internet and I don't know if that'll.

[Dan]

Because here's the thing, what we'll do is we'll make this a clip now and all your buddies will just send it to this professor and be like this.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Seriously, My teachers was really good about it. Like yeah, like send me pictures. Like please do it. Like you didn't Tell me why you were missing the last couple days of school. But, like, I saw you on the Internet.

[Chris]

Hope you have fun.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I was like, thank you.

[Chris]

Appreciate it.

[Dan]

There we go. That's what we want to hear.

[Chris]

Okay, so, yeah, one post from you guys.

[Dan]

Wait, wait, what does that mean? Do you guys have one Instagram?

[Chris]

Yeah, the good old Canadian boys.

[Dan]

Yeah, we started.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, we started three days ago. And. We're only allowed to post Instagram stories.

This is what I love about the Internet. And it's like, if we eventize this, you guys are like Santa Claus now. It's like, no, no posts go up until something special happens. Incredible.

[Chris]

I think if you bring him back a present. Yeah, present. And then you just. No show the exam.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, I might have to do that. Olympic committee. Hey, do you have an extra gold medal for me?

[Dan]

I feel good about this.

[Chris]

Okay. I need more favorite moments. Whoever. Whoever hasn't answered that so far.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I don't think I have. I think, honestly, my favorite moment is, like, the Olympic buzz around the city.

[Chris]

Is the different jerseys.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

You see walking around around, like, dude, if you see another Canadian, like, there's a go, Canada. Go, champ. Like, yeah, any European, they're, like, pointing at each other, yelling at you in another language. You don't know if it's nice or mean.

[Dan]

Yeah, it's a lot. Walking through Duomo area last night, and a run club went through that formed while people have been here, and it was like, there were a thousand flags. It was all these fans from different nations. And I was like, holy. I mean, run clubs are kind of lame, but that was pretty sweet. I was like, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. That is a great answer.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Italians, like, always say, go, Canada. Yeah.

[Chris]

Oh, really?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

How many people actually love Canada, too?

[Chris]

Okay. Funny.

[Dan]

I feel like they're doing that. I think that this is just commentary on how awesome Italians are. They're doing that for us, too. It's like, we have a hilarious. Like, we have, like, a Team USA backpack, and the amount we went to the gym, and people are like this, what are you competing in? I was like, I'm a plug, dude. I have a microphone. That's all I do.

[Chris]

I will say, though, they. Everyone has been really nice, but I will say when we're going to Canada games because Red's Canadian. We go to Canada games and we all have our Canada on.

[Dan]

I.

[Chris]

People are nicer. Yeah. Like, oh, hell, yeah, you're Canadian. I'm like, yes. Just roll with that right now.

[Dan]

Yeah. The USA Denmark game, there were a lot of, like, finance, bro. US Fans in the crowd just shout. And I was like, you guys aren't hockey fans. This is making us look really bad.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Stories about that from Boston, too.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

That.

[Dan]

Please share.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I mean, this one's a good. Yeah. Well, during the anthem, there was that buzz about the anthems and stuff.

[Dan]

Y.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And I don't know really how it happened. We were just singing the Canadian. Canadian anthem.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

While you're sign on the gold medal game.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Dan]

While you're singing the Canadian anthem. Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

The anthem's going on, and next thing I know, I'm in the next row.

[Chris]

And my feet are over my head and I'm looking back.

[Chris]

Are you all right there?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

So you guys are asleep at the switch. Dude. Jesus Christ.

[Dan]

Timeout. That's like. It's like being get attacked in the shower. You're singing the anthem, Your guard is down.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Hoarding the anthem. And I stopped. And then three seconds later, I see this guy's head, like, feet over his house. Like, tell me I stopped recording at the worst time.

[Chris]

Like, oh, did you? Yeah. Yeah. That would be the best video I've heard. Did you got.

[Dan]

We can cut this if it gets too gra. Did you guys throw down or.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I just looked back up at him.

[Dan]

I'm.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

During the game, I kept getting fed in the back of the head.

[Chris]

Like, same guy.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

There was a group of, like, four of them. And so I just kept getting fed. So I'm getting, like, ticked off. So I'm. And obviously this guy's our mediator, so he's kind of looking at me. Relax, relax.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

Good Lord. The self control here. It.

[Chris]

Were they, like, in Bruins jerseys or. Like, who. What are we talking about here?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

There was one in a Bruin.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan]

All right. This is. This is where I love the Internet. Internet. Do your thing.

[Chris]

Find these guys.

[Dan]

DM us, because I know people in Boston. Know who it was. Let us know who those guys were, and we're going to sewer the out. You know, this is why USA loses. It's like, just don't be a fan. That's the. That is the message to every fan out there. Don't be an. It's very easy.

[Chris]

So you just were good old Canadian boys. Did nothing. Said, we're bigger men.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Well, they're pretty nice guys, honestly. Like, other than that, they were nice guys.

[Chris]

You got.

[Dan]

You got pigeon tossed. You were getting dummied in the back of the head, and they were nice guys.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, that was kind of like a dick. But then the rest of them were actually, like. We were shooting the. With him the whole game. Yeah. Turn around. Like, talk.

[Chris]

Had beers after. Went to dinner.

[Dan]

I mean, if that's not hockey, it's like, after the game, you're like, let's go grab a beer. That's actually true. I love, love it.

[Chris]

That is so good. And did you. You meet Sid at Four Nations?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

We did, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah, we did. I cannot hear about that.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It was. You want to go on it or. Sure, yeah. So, yeah, like, I guess friends and family got to go down after the game, whatever. And we got to see the locker room. That was super cool. Like, we're all fanboying in the locker room a little bit. And then on our way back up, we walked past Sid. Crazy thing. He looks at my jersey and goes, goes, I really like that jersey.

[Dan]

I was like, holy.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

You talked to me.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And so then.

[Dan]

So then I was like, can I.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Please grab a picture? Or whatever. And then, yeah, kind of swarmed him a little bit. Felt bad after. But, yeah, he was a really nice guy about it.

[Dan]

You gotta do it.

[Chris]

He said, open the door. Said yes to the picture. And then it's like, oh, actually pull up my notes app. I have a thousand questions for you now that I have you here.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, we got him surrounded. Then I just turn around and I see Jarv, and he's like, oh, my God.

[Chris]

I look away from you idiots for one second.

[Dan]

That's his one nightmare.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

He's like, no, like, obviously late. Like, they just finished. We've been drinking the whole game. So we're the drunken people down there.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But no, sick.

[Chris]

That's awesome. And Sid was nicest guy ever.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Oh, yeah. More than willing to take pictures with us. Yeah.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It was unreal.

[Dan]

All right, so, well, that's a perfect, you know, transition to the last thing here for you guys. How cool is this moment for you? I mean, obviously, supporting Jarvey's always the best, but there is something cool that it's like, you know, now he's in you guys Aren't. Aren't Hurricanes fans? Like, born and raised is my point. This is like we're at the Olympics. Canada's playing. NHL guys are here for the first time in 12 years. You're here going to all these games. Is the fan in you still alive as ever?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, obviously, we're here to watch Seth, but, like, you see the first line come out for Canada and they're stacking it and it's. It's outrageous. Like, we coach junior B hockey, Sloan and I, and just going from watching.

[Chris]

Those games every Friday, Saturday, and then we watch this. No offense, no offense, no offense. I love you guys.

[Dan]

You guys are gonna get back to practice and be like, none of you are making it.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Job, Matthew. But no, it's been. It's been unreal. Like, obviously you see the guys on the ice and obviously, like, most of us are jets fans. At the end of the day, Winnipeg, you just see like, JMO all the time. And like, that's our Crosby and Winnipeg.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

And then now we're cheering for Crosby as well. And McDavid and McKinnon and Makar. And you're just like, how are we watching this? It's unreal. Like, I can't describe it.

[Chris]

It's actually insane that we feel like this is the best US Team, just talent wise, pure talent wise, that we've probably ever had.

[Dan]

Right.

[Chris]

You know, Know, trying to close that gap to you guys as much as we can. And then I go out and watch when they load up, like, Max, Conor and Nate. I'm like, what the dude? Like, this is. It's actually insane.

[Dan]

We've said it so many times on the show now over the last, like, week and a half. It's like when you just look down the. Someone posted a photo the other day. It was on the bench. It was like Macklin, Connor and Sid. And they put it next to a photo of like, oh, yes, Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard. And I was like, that's the best photo I've ever seen because it's real.

[Chris]

And it's like, you look at the.

[Dan]

US and I'm like, why don't we have that? Yeah, who's our 19 year old?

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

But it is. I saw our good buddy Johnny Lazarus always says it's like in this job, I can't tell you how many times, like, people will. Will tweet something and then like, someone will get in a fight with us and be like, calling us up and like, you guys are supposed to Be the professionals. And I'm like, dude, I'm a fucking idiot. Like, we didn't play in the NHL. We're. We're like, you guys, like, we're just fans. And we had this cool opportunity. And Johnny's always said it's like, no matter how many things we do, how many guys we meet or games we go to, never forget that you're a fan first. It's like we fell in love with hockey for a reason. So it pumps me up that, like, you guys are doing all this cool stuff, but it's not lost on you that it's like as many things and as many companies bring you places, it's like, don't ever forget to stop and be like, holy. We're watching Canada play in the Olympics right now. Now. This is unbelievable. It's so cool.

[Chris]

Right? What's. What's the schedule? What are your plans? The rest of the rip here going today. So this is. It's Wednesday. Yeah, yeah.

[Dan]

For the fans, moms and dad.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. We just. Thomas and Phoebe, what are our plans.

[Chris]

For the rest of the week?

[Dan]

Yeah, what are. What are these? Here we go.

[Chris]

I like.

[Dan]

Welcome to hell, boys. Yeah, yeah, strap in.

[Chris]

We're going to praying to be a gym teacher. Okay, so it's Wednesday. Right now. Can Canada plays quarterfinals at 4, 434 40, whatever. You guys are going to that game?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think we're trying to, as of right now.

[Chris]

Okay. Okay. Okay. Sick. Yeah. I mean, come on.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

There you go.

[Chris]

You know how hard that is, dude? They won't talk to anybody. That's incredible. That's amazing.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Definitely got a bit of imposter syndrome.

[Chris]

Dude, why us? No, dude. Dude, I can tell you guys, we look like guys. Trust us. We get it forever. You'll have it forever. I'm telling you, it will never go away. But that's okay.

[Dan]

You know, frankly, that's a good thing.

[Chris]

Yeah. Amazing. Okay, so possibly going. Possibly Canada House watch or if you don't go.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, we'll go to the Canada House and support the rest of the.

[Chris]

Any nerves yet or. Or you're fine. It's the check. We don't care. How you feeling?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Well, I think there's still some good players on Czech Republic, obviously. And I think Jason, you never know.

[Chris]

He like, bright bronze pick before. Before the tournament.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Disappointing.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

But yeah, I think they have a really good first line. Like hurdle Pasternak and nature's there, but nature's just playing. Yeah.

[Dan]

Very, very well. Yeah. Oh, my God. Like, this is. I feel like a lot of fans for a while have been like, I think nature's is good.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Dan]

And I think this tournament, the casual or fans of other teams are like, oh, this guy's really good.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think Jarvis, the biggest nature's fan in the NHL.

[Dan]

Yeah, he is.

[Chris]

He is actually.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It's unreal.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yep. Okay. So feeling pretty good.

[Dan]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah. I think just looking at the roster like you said, like we're at the France game. It was. You see McCar wheeling around behind the net and then he drops it to. Or, sorry, he drops it to McDavid and then it's like, what are we watching right now? It's like they're just shifting back and forth. Then he passes across to McKin and you're like looking at each other like, what the. Are we like.

[Dan]

Like.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

It's just mind blowing watching them.

[Dan]

And when's the return home?

[Chris]

24. 24.

[Dan]

24Th. Okay. All on the same flight.

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to the gold medal game.

[Chris]

30 hour drive. I guess you didn't do it before.

[Dan]

I mean, dude, they're getting all these upgrades. They're going to be flying the plane back to Winnipeg. All right. Before we close out. I mean obviously we've got, you know, hopefully the game today. Semifinals, final. Is there anything while. I mean, we got what, six days left here in. Or. Yeah, six or so days left here in Milan. Is there anything on the bucket list that you guys want to get done other than winning a gold medal?

[Good Old Canadian Boys (Group)]

I think we want to do a Lake Como for the day.

[Dan]

Sick.

[Chris]

Depending. One of the day, I guess. Depending on we're feeling gold medal games tomorrow.

Probably when we went for dinner with Jarv, just having a bunch of appetizers and just seeing him order a million of them and then just no idea what's coming. Yeah, exactly. Not knowing what's coming and then just all trying it and trying to tell each other what it is and figure it out. That was probably my favorite part. Yeah.
