Team Canada dominated from start to finish but came up short, leaving Milano with the Silver Medal. We break down the gut-wrenching loss to Team USA, Canada controlling the game but failing to capitalize, Connor Hellebuyck standing on his head, and why this feels like just the beginning of a renewed rivalry between these two hockey powerhouses. We also reflect on the tournament as a whole and what the NHL should take away from two weeks of incredible international hockey.
