The Only Team They Ever (Kind Of, Not Really) Feared: Canada vs. USA in 4 Nations first-place game

Team Canada heads into the gold medal game of the 4 Nations Cup with a 2-1 record and a match-up against a foe it knows all too well.

While the Canadians have had mostly close games (both of their wins, 2-0 against Finland and 3-1 against Sweden, were by a two-goal margin; their loss to the Americans came 3-0), their rival for the medal, the United States, is undefeated through the three-game round robin and has plenty of offense to show for it. They've outscored opponents 16-2; in fact, their closest game was against Canada, and that's not exactly a shock.
