Women won 17 medals and of the 33 medals won by Team USA, 21 of them involved women (4 mixed). Nice haul ladies.

Frank and Doug can be homers, but damn they were good guys.

Some people just want to be divided and not come together and celebrate a double gold, and all the other accomplishments of the athletes. It always has to be about something that everyone is tired of.

I saw a post that showed that the US hosted the most Olympic Games (8). So, I was curious on what games I couldn't remember out of the 8 and saw a list of how many times the US tried to host. Hosted: 1904 St. Louis (S), 1932 Lake Placid (W), 1932 Los Angeles (S), 1960 Squaw Valley (W), 1980 Lake Placid (W), 1984 Los Angeles (S), 1996 Atlanta (S), 2002 Salt Lake City (W), 2026 Los Angeles (S)*, and 2034 Salt Lake City (W)* Failed bids: Atlanta: 1920 (S), Anchorage: 1992 (W) and 1994 (W) Baltimore: 1948 (S) Chicago: 1952 (S), 1956 (S), and 2016 (S) Cleveland: 1916 (S) and 1920 (S) Colorado Springs: 1956 (W) Detroit: 1944 (S), 1952 (S), 1960 (S), 1964 (S), 1968 (S) Lake Placid: 1948 (W), 1956 (W), and 1968 (W) Los Angeles: 1924 (S), 1928 (S), 1948 (S), 1952 (S), 1956 (S), 1976 (S), and 1980 (S) Minneapolis: 1945 (S), 1952 (S), and 1956 (S) New York City: 2012 (S) Philadelphia: 1920 (S), 1948 (S), 1952 (S), and 1956 (S) Salt Lake City: 1972 (W) and 1998 (W) San Francisco: 1956 (S) Relinquished hosting: Denver: 1976

From an earlier post to show the exact attendance

Two events get everyone together when the US wins. The men winning the World Cup or Olympic gold in soccer (ladies you dominate this in soccer already everyone expects you to win). Gold medal in hockey. USA Hockey, NHL, College Hockey Inc., and NCAA Hockey strike when the iron is hot. As I was watching the Steve Dangle Podcast, Adam Wylde was saying how hockey equipment for kids is too expensive and why hasn't Hockey Canada done something to "generic" equipment. The example used was for kids that are 4 to 6 years old goalie pad shouldn't be $1200. This would be perfect idea for USA Hockey, NHL, and College Hockey Inc. finding ways to get cheaper equipment to kids that can't afford it.

Good way to get their fans to fund UND NIL

I'm glad ESPN doesn't have the rights to the Olympics. Bucci would have been extra annoying and glazing players.

NHL was pretty much running Olympic hockey.

I haven’t sold any vip wristbands yet, but making a killing at ASU and Minnesota 🤣

Their storming the court when the basketball team beat #13 Texas Tech was hilarious. They just act like they are better then they actually are in everything.

All the injury's happened with Canada on the ice and during 5x5 🤔

I didn't realize how much Brock looks like his grandfather Bill.

I'm torn by do I want Omaha to pass ASU or do I want ASU to take points from Denver and Omaha finish last. it a dilemma, just like the meme trying to pick which button to push.

Western Michigan need help from Arizona State to finish 2nd

Schmaltz for center depth They left of Nelson's son

It's framed that it was for the gold against the Soviets. If they would have lost to Finland in the early game, it would have been a foot note in hockey history. Looking at how the medal round was played that game for the most part determined the Soviets might not win the gold. Also, even if everyone in the media said that wasn't the gold medal game most people wouldn't listen anyway. Plus, the feel-good narrative of capitalism vs communism would be ruined for some.

USA Hockey really never gives the 1960 team enough respect its all about the 1980 team.

Forgot Knies and Cooley, both hurt or at least Cooley is

Hutson (there were Canadians saying he should use his Canadian citizenship), Robertson, Fox (not even sure he’s in the top 10 American defensemen), Caufield (these are the main snubs), DeBrincat, Tuch, Pinto, and Boeser (these 4 could play roles on the team like Nelson and others). I’m sure there could be more.
