The Oilers aren't good enough to win the West because they lack the depth and defense of other top contenders
I don't think it's [the Oilers'] year... I just think those other teams are a little bit more deep, better goal tending, better defensively... I think the west is too stacked and at the end of the day, I think the east is gonna win it this year.

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.

The US won the gold because they chose to stay in the Olympic Village while Canada stayed at a Four Seasons
Those guys went over to Milan on their PJs and absolutely lit it up... They didn't go stay at a Four Seasons like the Canadians did. They stayed in the village because we're village people. We go in there and we muck it up. You might not get the best food, but you're gonna have the best plane ride home smashing beers over your head.

The 1980 Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me... This game right now, what it can mean for a sport. You're going to get kids from different cultures, different backgrounds playing hockey that never did. It was 12 states represented [on this team]. The 1980 teams was probably strictly Michigan, Minnesota and Massachusetts. This effect is going to take us even further.
