The 2026 Milan Winter Olympics are in full swing, and Roy is on vacation, so David and Roy are holding down the fort with Rose and Gabe to break down the action from Italy. The boys start by discussing the US women's great start to the tournament, including a 5-0 win over Canada, and break down the early stages of the men's tournament as well. Ethan has a stat of the day about some underutilized Canadian Panthers, and Rose has an update on the Olympics in Rosa En Un Minuto. In wins and fails, Dave and Ethan celebrate Team USA's women further, and Rose takes us into the world of novellas. Then, Ryan S. Clark of ESPN joins the show to discuss the impact of Laila Edwards on black hockey in the United States, and Macklin Celebrini's impact on Team Canada as a teenager, before picking who he believes will take home gold in both tournaments.

And Dan wonders aloud if it's time for us to appreciate Sam Darnold's humility. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
