For the first time since 1980, the U.S. men’s hockey team has defeated our chief communist adversary in front of the entire world at the Winter Olympics. If you watched the gold-medal game, and you’re an American, you were probably enjoying yourself the entire time. I certainly was. It was a close game. It went to overtime. Our goalie looked like this:
He’s got the American flag and a largemouth bass on his headgear, which is pretty hard to beat. And on top of that, he stopped something like 40 shots during the game. It was incredible to watch, even if you aren’t usually interested in hockey, which I’m not. Meanwhile, Jack Hughes took a high stick to the face, lost a tooth, scored the game-winning goal, and then gave a patriotic post-game interview that NBC briefly removed from social media. Watch:
