Episode Notes

Coming off a celebration in Miami, a luncheon at the White House, and for most of the gold medal-winning United States hockey team, an appearance at the State of the Union, Sean, Frank and Sean discuss a whirlwind couple of days for the American team, including Connor Hellebuyck being named a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Frankie presents his Dudes of the Men's tournament in Milan, the guys debate if Auston Matthews has shed the criticism of not being a winner, and with the Olympic trade freeze over, Sean and Sean comment on the Brett Kulak for Samuel Girard trade between Colorado and Pittsburgh and Sidney Crosby being placed on IR for four weeks due to a lower body injury.
