Time to start digging up all those classic Team Canada-Team Europe battles on the international stage.

Wait, never mind.

Team Europe, comprised of players from eight different countries and formed solely for the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, has made it to the best-of-three tournament final.

A showdown with the deep Canadian side became reality when Tomas Tatar scored at 3:43 of overtime on Sunday at the Air Canada Centre, giving the Europeans a 3-2 semifinal victory over Team Sweden.

“We’re not surprised to be here, but excited,” Europe coach Ralph Krueger had said before the game.
