dont mind watching the ice hockey not as rough and tumble as years gone by??

International hockey has different rules. Not allowed to fight, it's immediate kicked out of game. Some big hits in the games but they've got to keep themselves reigned in.

so you guys saying usa canada gonna be a tame affair ?

[Blaithin]

No, I expect it's going to be pretty dirty. Just minimal fighting, until the end.

[furrowtickler]

I don’t think it will be dirty , both teams will have extremely potent power plays
It will be fast , rough but with minimal cheap shots .

Then there's the USA in second with 30 medals of which 11 are Gold with a pop. of 349 million.

Norway and Canada's results sure out shine the USA.

The US and Canada are prepared for a stormy men’s ice hockey final on Sunday as the long-time rivals face off for Winter Olympic gold

This year’s Olympics mark the first time NHL players have competed at the Winter Games since 2014, meaning many of the best players in the world will face each other on Sunday. While Canada are the betting favourites – and have won the most ice hockey golds in Olympic history – the US players say they have motivation to upset their northern neighbours.


“There’s hatred there,” USA’s Brady Tkachuk told ESPN on Saturday “I mean, they’ve been the top dog. They’ve been the best for the last bunch of years, and for us, we want to be in that position, be the best. So it’s going to be a game where I think a lot of guys could say, this is the biggest game that they’ve ever played in.”

Definitely both teams have a lot to prove
US has one of its best teams in recent memory with the addition of Quinn Hughs , definitely a generational defensemen .
he is as dangerous on the ice as McDavid imo
