He's as big a reason as any.
The U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals of the Milan-Cortina Olympics men's hockey tournament after beating Germany 5-1 on Sunday in Milan.
The work by Jack Hughes to create the golden goal in overtime for the U.S. at the Winter Olympics started long before he shot the puck into the net. After Connor McDavid was unable to finish his scoring chance early in the three-on-three overtime, Hughes collected the puck behind his own net at the other end of the rink, and Zach Werenski knew he had something bubbling. “Kind of a weird play," Werenski said.

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, with its advanced replays, chase-cam drones, and enthusiastic commentary, evokes a nostalgic feeling reminiscent of 90s snowboarding games.
