## Resource

Back from Milan, Dan and Shawn digest the Olympic tournament and the impact of it, including taking a look at the legacies of Connor Hellebuyck, Jack Hughes and Auston Matthews, and how they’re forever changed by what they did with Team USA. They discuss the lasting impact of Team USA winning gold and Hughes’ golden goal. The also talk about why Team Canada couldn’t get the extra goal in the gold medal game. They also move on to the NHL season restarting Wednesday with Stanley Cup Playoff races heating up and the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline coming into focus.... Some topics discussed and debated: * Will the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets be able to climb the standings with players like Jack Hughes and goalie Jacob Markstrom for New Jersey, and Hellebuyck for the Jets coming back with confidence? * Is it realistic given the injuries and number of players coming back from the Olympics for the Florida Panthers to get on a run to make the playoffs? * Are the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres going to end long playoff droughts? And does the hockey world now fully understand the value of Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin and Sabres forward Tage Thompson based on their performances at the Olympics for Team USA? * What is the impact of Sidney Crosby’s injury on the Penguins?
