Team USA punched their ticket to the finals with an emotional 3-1 victory over Canada in Montreal, featuring Jake Guentzel’s two-goal performance. Canada secured their championship berth by defeating Finland 5-3 on Monday, building a 4-0 lead before withstanding a late Finnish rally.
Unlike regular tournament games, the championship will feature traditional playoff overtime rules with continuous 5-on-5 hockey in 20-minute periods until a winner emerges. This format ensures a definitive champion in this historic matchup.
This matchup represents more than just a game – it’s a clash of hockey cultures. Canada has historically dominated best-on-best tournaments, winning nine of the previous 13 competitions. However, Team USA’s recent victory in Montreal, coupled with three fights in the opening nine seconds, has set the stage for an intense rematch.
“It’s a Game 7, right,” said U.S. forward Jack Eichel. “It’s for everything”. The championship promises to deliver the same intensity and emotion as their previous encounter, with both teams looking to make history in this inaugural tournament. Boston’s TD Garden will provide an electric atmosphere for what U.S. coach Mike Sullivan anticipates will be “every bit as competitive if not more” than their first meeting.
