TEAM CANADA vs TEAM USA

While it may not be the battle for gold that some hoped for, it’s always a special time when these two bitter rivals meet, at any level in hockey. And both teams arrived at this moment in starkly different fashions. The Americans cruised into the semis in a laugher, embarrassing the Germans 11-1. Canada found themselves locked in a battle with a tough Slovakian team (the only team to hand the Americans a loss in the round robin), and came out on top in OT thanks to some magic from North Vancouver’s Connor Bedard.
