Keith YandleThis gold medal win will have the same impact on US hockey growth as the 1980 Miracle on Ice
The 1980 Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me as an American hockey player to be able to live out your dream. This game right now, what it meant to the world... there's going to be a lot of parents who bring their kid down to the local rink and sign them up because I watched that game. I truly believe it is more than a game for what it can mean for a sport.

PFT CommenterThe US was the better hockey team because they won the game
There's a lot of cope that I would also like to get to. The US was actually the better team today. I just wanna get ahead of that. People are saying that Canada was the best team today. That's actually not true because the United States won the game. If you win the game, you are the better team that day. That's pretty much as definitive as it gets.
Big CatHockey is only America's fourth most important sport and we still beat Canada
I choose to win with class. Does it hurt for Canada that I graciously said hockey is our fourth like the fourth sport we're best at? We're football, baseball, basketball... and then hockey. I love hockey, but it's our fourth most important sport. And Canada, Canada's everything. And we fucking beat you. And we have the gold.
Big CatOlympic coaches should receive medals along with the athletes
Did you know that the coaches don't get medals? That's bullshit. Bizarre. [PFT: They get the stuffed animal though.] Oh man. [Big Cat:] Could you imagine being a Canadian and that is your sport and it's everything... and then afterwards they're like, 'Hey, here's a Labu Booo.'

View profileKeith YandleConnor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world
Connor Hellebuyck just saying, 'Hey boys, hop on my back. I got this for you. Just jump on in and ride me to this fucking gold medal.' It's incredible. We had the best goalie in the world and our defense is way better than Canada... I don't care if he gave up 50 goals before that game, the way he played that game, he should have won MVP.
Keith YandleConnor McDavid will win a Stanley Cup, but it will not be in Edmonton
Can [Connor McDavid] win the big one? Yes. Not in Edmonton. Oh, okay. I like that. That's a good take.
Keith YandleDak Prescott would be just as successful as Jalen Hurts if he played for the Eagles
I'm more thinking the defense was nasty... I think it's kind of hard to definitively say that Dak Prescott couldn't do what Jalen Hurts [does] if he had that much.
