Canada Hockey Stars earned huge bragging about America after a dramatic victory of the extension in Thursday's 4 Nations Final.
With tensions between the two countries on a boiling point in the midst of the threats of Donald Trump to impose rates on their neighbors, Canada got one over the president and his country by Team USA on the ice in Boston.
After a hard-fought 2-2 draw in regulation time, the visitors achieved a famous victory in the extra period thanks to Connor McDavid, who proved the hero by feeding the most important winner along the American goalkeeper Connor Hellebuyck at 8:18 of the overtime.
McDavid scored up close to seal the most satisfying victories for Canada in a game with extra intensity in the midst of Trump's rate threats and talk about making Canada the 51st US state.
Nathan Mackinnon and Sam Bennett also scored for Canada. Goalkeeper Jordan Binnington made 25 saves in the first three periods and six more in the extension on the same ice where he helped the St. Louis Blues to win the Stanley Cup five years ago.
Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderon scored for the Americans, while Hellebuyck put 22 shots in regulation and three more in OT for the winner of McDavid.
The rivalry between neighboring countries became sour on the way to the final of Thursday in the midst of the controversy around Trump, in which home fans were initially fascinated for the Canadian national anthem before the game started.
