No steaks and lobster for Team USA.

President Donald Trump treated the U.S. men’s Olympic ice hockey team to fast food during their White House visit.

On Tuesday, Donald Trump welcomed the U.S. men’s hockey team to the White House after their gold medal triumph at the Winter Olympics. Most of the players also attended Tuesday’s State of the Union address, where Trump announced that USA goalie Connor Hellebuyck would get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Five players from Team USA were unable to make the trip to Washington: Brock Nelson, Jake Guentzel, Jackson LaCombe, Jake Oettinger and Kyle Connor.

So, what was the meal of the day for Team USA after meeting with the president worth billions of dollars? Oh, you know, just a nice spread of fast food, including McDonald’s double cheeseburgers:

Can’t blame the players for expecting something more lavish like caviar, steak or lobster. But a free meal is a free meal, we suppose.

Criticism Increases Against Donald Trump & Men’s U.S. Hockey Team

President Trump spoke with the men’s team in the locker room following their victory in the gold medal game. During the call, Trump made an insulting joke about having to invite the women’s team to the White House. The U.S. women’s team also captured Olympic gold, defeating Team Canada 2-1 in overtime.

Trump’s joke prompted laughter from some players, and they have since received widespread criticism on social media. After the women’s team turned down Trump’s invitation to the White House, legendary rapper Flavor Flav issued an offer to celebrate their triumph in Las Vegas.

A simple search on X, and you’ll find many Americans critiquing the men’s team for visiting Trump at the White House. You’ll see political analysts and even NHL insiders (like Frank Seravalli) going at each other.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
