What an absolute fun tournament capped off by an excellent gold medal game. In the end it was Team USA winning by knocking off one of the best teams in Canadian National team history, 2-0. With the amount of talent on both sides of the ice it’s likely that a lot of the players on the ice tonight will be facing off in international competitions for many years to come.
The US jumped out to an early lead, matched Canada for two periods and then held on at the end. An argument could be made that this could be another example, like the 2018-19 Tampa Bay Lightning, of a team, in this case Canada, not having faced adversity until it counted and not being able to kick their game into the next level.
