## Resource

For the first time in 46 years the U.S. has won gold in Olympic Hockey. Meanwhile, the U.S. women brought home yet another gold medal, cementing themselves as the global power in the women's game. We break down both gold medals in addition to addressing the discourse that has followed in the wake of the double championships. In this episode we debate if USA Hockey will learn the wrong lessons from hanging on for dear life in the gold medal game along with our grievances with the officiating in both tournaments. We also share some thoughts on the Sabres return to action on Wednesday.
