The USA men's hockey team is anxious to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night, according to gold medal game hero Jack Hughes and his brother, Quinn. The USA women's gold medal hockey team declined an invitation, citing scheduling conflicts.
The men's team captured its first gold since 1980 thanks to Jack Hughes' overtime heroics during a 2-1 win over Canada. (snip)
"We're so proud to represent the U.S. and when you get the chance to go to the White House and meet the President, we're proud to be Americans and that's so patriotic," Jack Hughes told The Daily Mail this week. "No matter what your views are, we're super excited to go to the White House tomorrow and be a part of that."
Trump invited the men's team to the State of the Union address during a call with the team shortly after their Sunday win over Canada.
"I don't know how much we're allowed to say, but yes, yeah, we're excited to go," Quinn Hughes said Tuesday morning on ABC News. "Something you don't get to do ... I don't know what today is -- every Tuesday. But yeah, but, it's going to be special for us, but I'm glad you mentioned the women's team again. You know, we're really happy for them. Obviously, a lot going on on social media surrounding our team and their team. But, you know, the last couple we've done a lot of training with them and got to know a lot of those girls really well. We're extremely happy to come."
For the first time in Winter Olympics history, the USA swept golds in hockey, making the 2026 Milano Cortina Games especially memorable stateside.

“Like pre-woke Bill Burr said,”
You got that right.
They do like to lick their opponents.

US Mens’ Hockey passes the Luke 14 test! US women’s hockey fails it!
Keep attacking men , Leftists. The Democrats young man vote is almost gone. Now, they have to get out to vote.
We’ll someone at the Olympics is going thru a lot of condoms
It hurts a GREAT DEAL LESS.......
When you win
It's like a high school game. No check league.
Just as long as they aren't shaving points.

(with apologies to my good Canadian friends...and Brad Marchand who happened to be the subject of this meme, I have always kind of liked him as a player...)
An Oil Change!
Hahahahaha...I guess they don’t all have to wash their hair!
(I actually had a friend who did get that as an excuse when he asked a girl out and she declined!)
Except for ice skating, Olympic events should be male only.
Having women is too fluffy, and nobody gives a sh!t.
Have a bakeoff. (ducking, lol)
IMO.
Boon: Washing her hair?
Otter: Dead mother.
I think if the Democrats behave normally, the spell will be broken and the followers will leave.
So they are forced to perpetually escalate their antics.
There is little room left for them to go without Congress looking like a Samsonite commercial.
A song comes to mind...

I’M CONFUSED:
WHAT SCHEDULE WOULD THE WOMEN’S TEAM HAVE FOR A TUESDAY EVENING AT 6 PM A WEEK AFTER THE OLYMPICS?????
Wins all around.
Young men seeing other men their age kicking ass in the Olympics, then being recognized by the President of the Unite States at a State of the union address.
Man...I have always suspected you and I have watched many of the same movies and venerate some of them in the same way!
You always get the references...
I have always loved that movie-do I have to surrender my man-card if I say that???
