About this listen

In Episode 43 of Don’t Quote Us Sports, we break down Team USA’s historic Olympic hockey gold medal win over Canada — their first since 1980 — and the chaos that followed. Was Canada actually the better team? Do the excuses hold up? And has this officially become the best rivalry in international hockey?

We dive into the biggest moments from the game, including clutch performances, missed opportunities, and why this win could signal a major shift in USA hockey dominance moving forward. Plus, we debate whether this moment can ever top the legendary Miracle on Ice.

Then we shift gears to the NBA, where tanking is taking over the league. With multiple teams racing to the bottom for a stacked draft class, we break down:

  • Why tanking is getting worse
  • Potential rule changes to fix the system
  • Which proposal actually makes sense

We also discuss rising NBA teams, playoff contenders, and what’s real vs. fake heading into the postseason — including takes on the Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, and Timberwolves.

🔥 If you’re into hockey drama, NBA debates, and unfiltered sports takes — this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
