Team USA and Canada for the gold medal in Milan. The two best teams on paper entering the Olympics, even if Team USA left off two elite talents, advanced to the gold medal game by beating Sweden/Slovakia and Czechia/Finland, respectively. Neither team got here without some adversity, as Canada needed overtime to beat Czechia and had a dramatic come from behind win to beat Finland. Team USA needed overtime to beat Sweden before demolishing Slovakia.
Will Canada make it an even split in hockey, one gold apiece? Or will Team USA sweep both golds?
