Team USA stuns Canada with Jack Hughes’ golden goal, clinching their first Olympic gold in men’s hockey since the iconic Miracle on Ice—exactly 46 years ago. Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the heart-stopping finale, spotlighting Connor Hellebuyck’s show-stopping saves, including a paddle stop that will live in highlight reels for years.

Key topics include Canada’s special teams struggles, missed 5-on-3 opportunities, and the drama of 3-on-3 overtime rules in a gold medal game. The hosts discuss the emotional impact on the Avalanche contingent, Connor McDavid’s MVP performance despite another runner-up finish, and the unforgettable sight of the Gaudreau kids celebrating on the ice. Does this heartbreak fuel MacKinnon and Makar for an explosive NHL playoff run? Don’t miss this passionate breakdown of Olympic hockey history in the making.
