Well, many of you might have heard that the general manager for Team USA is Billy Guerin. And Billy very publicly invited the President of the United States to come to the building, the TD Garden in Boston tonight, to watch tonight's game as his guest. In the end, President Trump could not be here tonight. However, he did place a phone call this morning that was well received. Well, I'll talk to the guys if they're around. Yeah, they are. I'm going to walk into the locker room right now and you can speak to the guys firsthand. Mr. President, can you hear me? I can. You guys are really talented. I have great respect for hockey players. I'm a hockey fan. I love hockey. The talent, the skill that you have, it's crazy. And just go out and have a good time tonight and I just want to wish you a lot of luck. You really are a skilled group of people. It's an honor to talk to you and get out there and there's no pressure whatsoever. I can tell you honestly, every person in here, player, staff, management, coaches, we are all proud Americans and we want to represent our country the best way we can and do our best to bring in a win tonight.
