They may have arrived to this point via different routes and methods, but make no mistake: this is the final that both teams wanted. The Americans needed some heroics in the dying moments as they almost let this opportunity slip away, needing an Arthur Kaliyev goal with 66 seconds left on the clock to break a 3-3 tie against Finland last night. The Canadians road was far less rocky, as they got the GWG less than a minute into the game on a rocket from Alex Newhook.
Both teams are loaded with potential future NHL stars, and all eyes will be on the goaltending battle between the USA’s Spencer Knight, and Canada’s Devon Levi.
