"Yeah, we should've reacted differently, Swayman said. We know that we are so excited for the women's team. We have so much respect for the women's team, and to share that gold medal with them is something that we're forever grateful for."
"You know, now that we're home, we get to share that together forever and see the incredible support that we have from the USA, and sharing this incredible gold medal."
After winning gold at the Winter Olympics, the U.S. men's hockey team received a congratulatory call from President Trump through FBI Director Kash Patel. During the call, Trump joked that he would need to invite the women's team, which also won gold, or face impeachment. The men's team laughed at the remark. Upon returning to the NHL, goalie Jeremy Swayman expressed regret about their reaction, stating the team should have responded differently. Swayman emphasized their excitement and respect for the women's team, noting the honor of sharing the gold medal achievement. The women's team subsequently declined Trump's invitation to the State of the Union address after the video circulated publicly.
