Do or Die, Don't Call it a Miracle | Always a Bridemaid | That's Gross #41

The boys are back and we recorded this one before the chaos. We break down Team USA’s first three games of the Olympic men’s tournament and what needed to change heading into a do-or-die matchup against Sweden — which ended up going to OT in absolute movie fashion. We talk: – The strengths and identity of Team USA 🇺🇸 – Canada’s firepower (and why they quietly resemble the 1980 Soviet machine) – Why we don’t call it a miracle — hard work beats luck every time – The viral moment from Matthew Tkachuk to Leon Draisaitl: “Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, eh?” – Canada nearly slipping against Czech – Playoff previews and who we think survives – Gavin McKenna and the viral punch incident + charges dropped – Beanpot energy and what it means for college hockey – Bruins prospects like James Hagens and Will Letourneau climbing levels every day – And of course… Play Free Bird apparel and what’s next for Gross This episode was recorded before the playoff games kicked off — so if you’re listening after the OT win, enjoy the tension knowing what was coming. Big stage. No excuses. Hard work. Not miracles. Big things coming.
