And this is exactly what I love about hockey even after a loss, Demidov is just standing there laughing with Nikishin, Kochetkov, and Svechnikov. On the ice, you're rivals. Off the ice, it's all respect and friendship

@BizNasty2point0 It was absolutely not half the lower bowl. I was there until the end. People do get up and walk around after being at the game for hours.
How is this celebrated?!?
What the hell is wrong with people?!
Where are the coaches? Umpires? What parent in the right mind wouldn’t drag their son off the field if he did that? Pathetic!!
NBC’s ‘Today’ tried to trap Ellen Hughes — mother of Jack and Quinn — by seeing if she’d bash the men’s team and President Trump for inviting them to the State of the Union and joking he’d have to invite the women or he’d be impeached...
Hoda Kotb: “Let me ask you about thing that's getting a little traction, a video that came out afterwards. It shows the men's team talking to the President of the United States, and the — and he was inviting them to the State of the Union and all that. And then he said a comment that gained attention. He said, ‘I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team. You know, that’ — and the room kind of laughs, and he added — ‘I do believe I probably would be impeached.’ He was sort of joking through this, but you're cheering on both teams. How did that comment land for you?”
Ellen Hughes: “Well, I think at the end of the day, it's just about the country and the moment that these players, both the men and women, can bring so much unity to a group and to a country. People that cheered on that don't watch hockey, people that have politics on one side or on the other side, and that's all both the men's team and the men's team care about. If you could see what we see from the inside and the men and women sharing, you know, dorms — dorm rooms and halls and flex floors and the camaraderie and the synergy and the way the women cheered on the men and the way the men cheered on the women. That's what it's all about. And the other things they cannot control. They care about humanity. They care about unity, and they care about the country I love.”
Kotb: “Totally.”
Craig Melvin: “Well said.”
Kotb: “Don't you love that Ellen's hoarse from all that screaming?”
Melvin: “All the screaming!”
Carson Daly: “Yeah.”
Melvin: “Been screaming for two weeks.”
Hughes: “And too many late nights.”
Melvin: “I love it.”
Hughes: “We had so many nine, ten nights. The women, the men, the women, the men. But it couldn't have gone better. Both teams going undefeated. We couldn't have write — written a better story. And I hope everybody just understands what we did in the moment, both the men and the women, to bring this country together and let everybody cheer in the same direction.”
Kotb: “Yes!”
