Yeah, and it's all about as relevant as a 50 year old hockey series could or should be.
- '02 on US ice after choking hard in '98. (Also Iggy coming out show)
- '10 on home soil with US seeking revenge. Again after a choking in '06 (Again, Iggy is lord)
- '26 stopping the US from winning gold, especially against Canada directly, is basically as political imperative as any sport event has ever been for Canada. You can argue Cold War, but that was a) not even Canada's thing, and b) arguably not as tumultuous as our current state.
- I do agree that no Russia is a big hole in the competition of the tournament. Would have made the semis much less interesting.
USA needs to lose.
