With the Olympic tournament complete and the NHL season resuming, Chris Pronger joins John Shannon and Daren Millard to reflect on the gold medal game and what it means moving forward.

The group revisits Canada’s loss to the United States, examining key moments, missed opportunities, and the American defensive structure that ultimately made the difference. 

Pronger offers his perspective on how elite teams process a loss of that magnitude and how players mentally transition back into NHL competition.

They also discuss:

  • Tactical adjustments that defined the gold medal game
  • The implications of the U.S. victory for international hockey
  • The challenge of shifting from Olympic intensity back to league play
  • How the tournament may impact the NHL stretch run

A measured, veteran-driven look at the Olympic final — and the reality of returning to the NHL grind.
