Excerpt:
You know that electric moment when a real American hero steps on the ice and the entire arena erupts in genuine pride and cheers? That’s exactly what happened at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, during Wednesday night’s Devils game against the Buffalo Sabres. The team honored members of their roster who won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, including star player Jack Hughes. The crowd went absolutely wild as Hughes, visibly emotional, addressed the fans: “I’m so proud and I’m so happy that the men’s and women’s USA hockey teams brought gold medals back to the United States of America. You guys are making me emotional, but I’m so proud to represent the New Jersey Devils organization. And I’m so, so proud to represent the great state of New Jersey – so proud. From the bottom of my heart, all of my teammates, USA teammates, we just want to thank you guys for all the love and support. We feel it.” The arena was rocking with thunderous applause for the Olympic champion who brought gold home for America.
When an entire hockey arena instantly turns on a politician during what should be a feel-good moment, it's usually a pretty clear signal that a large chunk of regular voters already see through the messaging and aren't buying it.
