It’s a Monday for the history books! Kevin and Alex are back in the studio to break down an unforgettable Olympic weekend. After 46 years, the U.S. Men’s Hockey team has captured gold in a heart-pounding overtime win against Canada. We dive into the heroics of goalie Connor Hellebuyck, the "possessed" spirit of 1980, and Jack Hughes’ missing tooth. Plus, we look at the "Snowy-cane" slamming the East Coast, why Boston shovelers need two forms of ID, and the legal fallout of the Supreme Court's latest ruling on the Trump tariffs.
Standout Moments & Timestamps
