he's from the Christian family tree of Warroad, MN

Nephew of Dave Christian, a forward who won the gold medal with the U.S. at the Olympic Winter Games Lake Placid 1980

His grandfather, Billy Christian, and great uncle, Roger Christian, helped the U.S. win gold at the Olympic Winter Games Squaw Valley 1960

His great uncle, Gordon, earned a silver medal at the Olympic Winter Games Cortina d'Ampezzo 1956

Yeah, I could understand why he's not too thrilled, if this is true.

It was one of the Tkachuk brothers (don't remember which one) who hung his gold medal around this piece of trash.

But our FBI Director acting like a drunk frat boy is just too much to take.

Now, that would have caused a stink.

I feel like we should stop crawling to people just because of their title. "Don't you know who I am" should be answered with "Yeah, I know who you are, so what?"

Why it is somehow better to allow an official to abuse his position and perks, and not make a scene calling him out will forever evade me.

I don't know....

But I agree with you, it should have been team only (and maybe a few wives or girlfriends) at the celebration. These guys earned it. Patel didn't do shit. I'll bet he didn't even buy a ticket for the Gold Medal event.

GM Bill Guerin loves him some Trump, and he invited Fat Bastard to the 4 Nations tournament and probably the Olympics, but since he was too scared to get booed (or too decrepit to make the trip), Kashyap got to substitute for him.

Guerin is also the GM of the Minnesota Wild. I hope they run him out of town on a rail.

They really are low life, bottom feeders. Not a single one of them takes their position seriously and instead they act like kids trying to destroy the US but they aren't smart enough to do so.
