Keep playing, or send Coach Tortorella home in time for Blue Jackets training camp.
Those are the two options facing Team USA tonight.
In an elimination game in just their second game of the tournament, the Red White and Blue must take down the favored Canadian squad to continue on. With their lackluster loss against Team Europe on Saturday, the USA forced themselves into this tough position.
Grit and a heavy physical game will be on display tonight, as the roster construction left no doubt as to the kind of style the Americans will play. That style worked to the tune of a 4-2 victory in the warmup game in Nationwide Arena, but the Canadian squad looked like world beaters in their 6-0 demolition of the Czech Republic on the weekend.
