 The President is right to do what he's doing, and it gives him the negotiating power to look at what kind of ice is this. What's the penalty for delay in the game? Well, a welcome to all the players, the coaches, and the managers, and thank you all for coming. I understand we're going to have a little exhibition right here in the Rose Garden. Just don't let me be caught between the two teams. From the hot rivalry we hear, you have going, you may just melt the ice at the Capitol Center Friday evening. Athletic rivalry is the best spirit of competition, and you've put me in a predicament for Friday's game. Because both teams here are, in a sense, hometown teams. The U.S. Olympic team is America's hometown team, and the Capitals are Washington's hometown team. So I'm not going to pick a favorite. I, in politics, they call this fence-sitting. But we do wish both teams the best of luck for a good game. Now, a couple of members of the 84 Olympic team also played in the 1980 Lake Placid Games. Before the big game with the Soviet team, the coach told the players, you were born for this moment. This is your moment. And I don't think we'll ever forget the picture of those young Americans not favored to win by a long shot, but win they did. Abe Pollan, the owner of the Capitol Center, is here today, too. I should tell the teams to check the rink pretty carefully before you skate out on it Friday. I was out there last Saturday, and where you will be skating, there was a rodeo going on. But the Capitals give Washington a very much-needed team to cheer for, and I want you all to know I follow your progress. Last year you were great. This year we hope you'll be even better. And again, thank you all for being here, and good luck tomorrow night. And, well, play ball. Mr. President, on behalf of the Washington Capitals, we'd like to give you this official Capitol jersey on behalf of the whole team. So thank you very much. And also, I'd like to give you a little token from a little slogan on the puck. The puck stops here in 83 and 84. Thank you very much. And also, Mr. Vice President, we'd like to give you the same thing. Thank you. Mr. President, on behalf of the 1984 Olympic team, we also have an official Olympic jersey to go along with that Washington Capitol jersey. I just got an offer to play tomorrow night. Thank you. Mr. Vice President, we'd like to give you our team pendant. Mr. President, on behalf of the US Olympic team in 1984, for our appreciation for having us here and your support, a little token of our gratitude. Thank you very much. Thank you. And let me put it down for you. Well, Mr. President, we hear that you were a pretty good athlete in your day. So I think we're going to try a new sport for you, and I'd like to show you how to shoot a puck. If I can shoot one. Well, this is Gretzky's stick. He's got a lot of gold in his mouth. Twins legs is weak. Hit him in the face. I didn't do a good job. You will never see me hit another puck again as well. Thank you very much. After the way you shot that, are you sure you'll be tomorrow night? I think I'd better confess, I was really aiming at him. That's what we all do. Great. Good to see you guys. Good to see you. It would have been two minutes.
