It took six tries, but on Sunday the United States finally won a best-on-best men’s Olympic hockey tournament.
The Americans have spent the days afterwards speedrunning the United States experience: carrying center and game-winning goalscorer Jack Hughes through the Olympic village in Italy, partying in Miami, receiving a hero’s welcome at the State of the Union address from President Donald Trump, and apologizing (somewhat) for dissing their fellow gold medalists, the national women’s hockey team, while talking to him.
