Aaron Portzline On USA Hockey Gold Frenzy & Blue Jackets Playoff Push | Tim May Show feat. Clay Hall

by | Feb 23, 2026 | Ohio, Tim May Show

The United States wins Olympic gold in men’s hockey — and it was pure chaos in the best way possible.

On this Monday episode of The Tim May Show featuring Clay Hall, longtime The Athletic hockey writer Aaron Portzline joins Tim to break down the emotional U.S. gold medal victory over Canada — just the third Olympic gold in program history and the first since the iconic “Miracle on Ice” in 1980.
Portzline walks us through the frenzy surrounding the win, including Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski delivering the puck to Jack Hughes for the game-winning goal.

From there, the conversation turns to the Blue Jackets and whether the momentum built under new head coach Rick Bowness before the Olympic break can carry into a legitimate NHL playoff push.

Tim’s longtime respect for “Porty” shines through in this must-watch hockey conversation filled with insight, history and what comes next for Team USA and the CBJ.
