I’ve never been this early.
Damn Ryan you nailed the prediction. 💯
enjoyed the win for all of five minutes until everyone and their mom made it political and team
usa was partying in the locker room with kash patel
Congrats to Dylan and the rest of Team USA Hockey for winning Gold well deserve it's insane how many players from Michigan made a impact in this Olympics 🔥🇺🇲🥇
Larkin saved team USA during the 5v3 and nobody will ever change my mind.
Maybe MacKinnon would’ve scored if he had more sugar reserves flowing through his veins to tighten his focus. Haha.
Great game. Maybe Larkin did some informal networking over the Olympics.
Evan are you ok?
Lark better have been recruiting Helly
People crying about today being 3 on 3 OT but were silent when you won in 3 on 3 OT in the quarters is soooooo soft
You 3 will always be my favorite Canadians
Anyone crying about larks can literally F off. He was live streaming and celebrating with his teammates and Kash Patel weasled his way in. People are acting like he did a sit down interview with the guy.
hiya pals
Evan jinxed Canada by picking USA to lose twice
I see the World Cup of hockey team Canada going to be more dangerous when they add bedard,McKenna,Schafer
Evan are you actually talking trash on twitter and then crying about it on your podcast when people clap back lmao how soft
Larkin was over 75% on faceoffs in the tournament, 2 big goals and was awesome in his own end defensively. He was the team MVP in my book and I hope this momentum carries into this final stretch of the regular season and the wings make the playoffs.
Hats off to Hellebuyck too he final answered the bell and won the big one for once.
That Boldy goal might have been the most impressive display of hand eye coordination I’ve witnessed.
Hellebuyck was on that level with Hasek in 98 and Quick in the 2012 playoffs
I love you three guys but someone's got to do it.
USA USA USA!
Well fought game by Canada. You guys still have every reason to be proud.

Free bird 🦅
Suck it Canada!!
Yeah my Mom waking me up at 1 am to watch team Canada in Nagano in 98 when I was 7 years old is a core memory lol.
Future red wing Jack Hughes with the game winning goal
Winning gold without Russia there feels off
