  1. Let them enjoy their gold lmao its only the 2nd one since 1980. I dont consider this a legitimate gold though. Canada got snubbed and were the better team far and away.

  2. The3 on 3 is a f**** joke.Regardless if we won or not , I don't think that the gold medal game or Stanley cup final should not be decided upon 3 on 3.That's f**** stupid = i don't think stephen a smith would agree to the n b a finals being three on three…

  3. Talk more hockey! This sport has my attention because of all of this. They are a special breed. So much fun to watch. No politics is the best part.

  4. I never liked PK because I'm a bruins fan but I must say I respect him a lot more with the overtime 3 on 3 question they asked him

  5. It was an awesome game no doubt! and I agree with PK about the 3 on 3 overtime…it is just ridiculous that Jon Cooper, head coach for Canada, complained about the overtime rules but he only did it because they lost….and yeah they are different than the NHL playoff Overtime rules (which is 5 on 5 for 20 minute periods until someone scores) but the truth is that Olympic Hockey rules are slightly different than the NHL rules and there is nothing really wrong with that

  6. 2025 – 4 Nation's cup – if Bennington did not make that big save, USA wins and there is no Canadian talk of dominance. 2026 – if MacKinnon scores in that empty net, there is no legacy game for Hellebuyck. So interesting how us humans tend to find deeper meaning in sports.

  7. That's BS Steven A. ……. canada, is using this 3 on 3 as an excuse for their lost period! and as usual with everything that country does ……… USA all the way baby!

  8. Hellebuyck had an incredible game for Team MAGA. Sadly, the celebration with their buddy Kash Patel (still can't believe they put the gold medal on that clown) and their disrespect towards the women's gold medal team is the headline for them. Any sense of victory was lost and it's a true shame.

  9. Objectively 3v3 just means its less than the Stanley Cup. Doesn't mean it isn't great its just lesser than it could be. Yes I am Canadian and I don't think it takes anything away from the US victory. They earned it especially Helle

  10. What PK meant was Canada built their roster with the philosophy of out scoring everyone, US built the roster to drag you down and beat you in the mud. Gritty defense, goalie and some puck luck will get you far. 💪🏒🥅🇺🇸🦅

  11. They need to bring back Russians to add momentum and some 80s Cold War hockey the best need to bring summit series and World Cup hockey and 4 nations with Russia as all star game outdoors at Jerry world USA v Canada

  12. I actually told someone Team USA won because they had more brothers as in the Tkachuck and Hughes brothers all being on the team but since they were also honoring the Gaudreau brothers as well so we had the almighty power of 3 (pairs of) brothers on our team as well the same that cause terror for a certain dog god you just can't beat that kind of firepower its the father and 2 sons kamehameha from one if the 2nd Broly movie

  13. Oh I am totally not in favor of the 3 on 3 but it was what it was both teams had the same conditions its the same I feel about penalties in championship games disgusting run them mfers out there till they drop idgaf which sport endless OT always

  14. This man also let down the US women's team. He's not half as good as you make him out to be. Shame on you!🙁☹️👎👎👎👎👎

  15. I hate commentators that don't know the sport commenting on it. That's like me commenting on basketball, I don't know it anymore and I don't care about it.
