"It is never just locker room talk. I'm angry. What a disappointment to have something so joyous tarnished by a dreadful reality where women are being belittled & disrespected for existing. The US Women's Hockey Team deserves way better."
"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."
"Had there been a video on him and his brother during the women's gold medal game, they would have looked like the biggest superfans of all time."
Team USA's women's hockey team achieved Olympic gold while setting a shutout record of 331 minutes and 23 seconds. The majority of the men's hockey team attended the State of the Union, while the women declined due to professional and academic obligations. Controversy emerged when critics said the men's team should have responded differently to a presidential joke, with some defending the women against perceived disrespect. Jack Hughes stated the men deeply support the women's team, noting his mother works as a consultant to them. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman acknowledged the men's team should have reacted differently, emphasizing their respect and gratitude for sharing the gold medal achievement.
