Craig Carton Celebrates a Thrilling USA Women's Hockey Victory

Craig Carton shared his excitement about a rare and captivating event that matched the excitement that only close, tense games can offer—affectionately known as "Agita" games among sports fans. This particular event involved the U.S. Women's Hockey Team bringing home a gold medal from Italy after a nail-biting match against Canada.

Despite typically having no interest in hockey, whether women's or men's, Craig was wholly absorbed by the intense USA vs. Canada match. He celebrated this significant win enthusiastically, noting that it included all the elements that make sports thrilling: a tight score, a last-minute comeback, and an overtime victory. He emphasized the magnificent moment when one of the U.S. defensemen scored in overtime during a 3 on 3, clinching the goal that won the team the gold medal.

Craig also pointed out the contrasting reactions from the neighboring country, referencing a tweet from the Canada Olympic account claiming "silver shines just as bright" as gold, a statement he mocked as embodying a "loser mentality." He concluded with a cheeky congratulations to himself and fellow Americans for the national team's success, reveling in the dramatic turn of events that led the U.S. team to victory.
