With one victory against the hockey-centric country beneath their belts, the U.S. men’s hockey team has to play Canada one more time on their home turf in order to earn an Olympic gold medal. “It’s hard to beat a team twice in a tournament like this,” the U.S. team’s coach said, despite their blowout win against Finland yesterday. “They’ve got a great team over there,” one member of the Canadian team told the AP. “They’ve proven that already by finishing first, and they’re obviously in the gold medal game for a reason.” The U.S. team is 5-0.
