Patrick Kane is an American, and Jonathan Toews is a Canadian, so naturally they had their eyes on the World Juniors gold medal game between Team USA and Canada on Thursday. The Americans came away with a shootout win, and now we know there was even more than a gold medal on the line.
Because of Canada’s defeat, Toews will be forced to don some Team USA gear after losing a friendly wager with Kane:
Sounds like Toews will have to dress in Team USA gear (like LeBron James did w/a full Cubs uniform) to pay off the bet with Kane

This isn’t exactly a hard confirmation, but Toews had said before the WJC final that he had a bet on the game with Kane, who also won $500 from Artemi Panarin thanks to Team USA’s great showing at the tournament.
