I had to give a speech on an American Hero for school. Everyone chose people like George Washington, MLK, etc. Who did I choose? TJ FUCKING OSHIE. And it was one badass speech, one that drew some impressive comments and appraisals. My teacher however, gave me a C. Never forgave him for that.
this was the first hockey i watched and it really got me into the sport, 6 years later i’ve been to 10+ CBJ games, thank you Oshie, Bob and Quick, those names will stick with me forever
I remember on the national news the following night, they said, “We’re going to end tonight’s broadcast by showing you the shootout between Team USA and Team Russia in its entirety in case you missed it.”
