USA vs. Canada Prediction: Thursday, February 20th

It all comes down to this and of course it’s the USA against Canada as many expected! When we became this tournament, I think many believed it would be treated more as an exhibition style contest, but things have really gone from 0 to 100 since then, and now we have what feels like a historic meeting tonight.

As a writer, I know it's my job to remain neutral and objective so let me explain to you why I will be wagering the way I am tonight. Team USA has been the best team in this tournament any way you slice it up.

They’ve allowed just 4 goals through 3 games of play, and they did that against the best teams in the world, Russia the notable group excluded, and they’ve looked dominant in their own end throughout even against Canada. Much of that is on the shoulders of Connor Hellebuyck and the defense.

Charlie McAvoy being out tonight will sting but the group is as deep as they come at the blue line and the forward group is a perfect blend of skill, speed, size and grit. That’s something Canada is lacking because yes, they have the better players overall, but the USA wasn’t looking for the best players, they were looking for the right players.

This group is special and cohesive and while it’ll be a fight to the end tonight, I believe the USA wins the damn thing and the hockey world will run through the United States of America.
