I’m not happy about how this game ended. It was going to be a challenging game—Team Canada is stacked with the elite of the professional hockey world. Yet, the United States has closed the gap. It was going to be a slog. The game went into overtime, and for reasons that escape logic, Auston Matthews left Conor McDavid alone in the slot to rip one right past American goalie Connor Hellebuyck, who was spectacular in this tournament.

but why is 34 skating away from the best player in the world to double a player in the corner, leaving McDavid wide open in front of the net?
way too easy

Team USA went down 3-2. It sucks.
A part of me wants to invade Canada right now and make it a state. Another part of me wants punitive tariffs. When things simmer down, we’re left with the fact that the Stanley Cup is never going back North at the end of this NHL season again, so we have that going for us. And Team USA also got a pretty cool phone call from President Donald J. Trump before puck drop.

“I just want to wish you a lot of luck. You really are a skilled group of people. It's an honor to talk to you. And get out there, and there is no pressure whatsoever,” said the president. “We love you guys. We'll be watching tonight. Bring it home.”
Team USA had many chances to bring it home, but Canada took home the 4 Nations Face-Off cup. However, they won’t return the one that matters this season, so it is what it is.

I still can’t believe McDavid was all alone in the slot like that; you deserve to lose when you let that happen.
Still, the atmosphere was electric, and the late Johnny Gaudreau got a nice sendoff from the crowd in Boston.
Absolute goosebumps watching the National Anthem in TD Garden tonight.
