After the Florida Panthers honored Team USA gold medal winners, Auston Matthews & Matthew Tkachuk, the crowd started chanting “USA!”, Tkachuk skated with an American flag, & eventually made his way to the other side of the ice where he gave the game puck to a 101 year-old WWII veteran 👏

The US men’s hockey team win was an awesome throwback to the 1980’s, 1990’s & early 2000’s, up until woke sports took over, when American athletes were unabashedly proud patriots of the greatest country in world history. We need more of this:
Left wing hockey Twitter has spent the last few days saying Jack Hughes lost “all his fans,” and here he is getting a standing ovation and loud cheers from the NJ Devils crowd
Almost like their echo chamber doesn’t reflect reality!
Standing on that podium, we weren’t just celebrating a win - we were honoring everyone who helped us get there: coaches who pushed us, families and friends who supported us, and teammates who gave everything on and off the ice. 🇺🇸🥇🇺🇸🥇🇺🇸
