"Sweet game overall, and good ending, especially in overtime,"
"I was cheering them on, and for them to win gold,"
"I mean, obviously they had a heck of a team, and they knew they had a good chance at it. But for them to finally do it is really cool for me, obviously, playing at the (U.S. National Team Development) Program and World Juniors and all that. Being able to watch them... it's pretty sweet that they won it."
"We're all sitting in the training room, and everybody's half-dressed, waiting to go on (the ice),"
Head coach Mike Sullivan and assistant David Quinn were behind the bench while J.T. Miller and Vincent Trocheck played for the U.S. team that beat Canada 2-1 in overtime to capture Olympic gold. The victory marked the United States' first Olympic men's hockey gold since 1980. Rookie Gabe Perreault expressed excitement and pride, citing his U.S. National Team Development Program background and the 2025 World Junior Championship. Rangers practice was delayed when the gold-medal game went to overtime, and players took the ice about 20 minutes after Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal. Forward Jonny Brodzinski described teammates waiting half-dressed in the training room as the game finished.
