Hockey fans wanted this first 4 Nations face-off final to be epic. That's exactly what Team Canada got when they beat Team USA 3-2 in overtime.
Conor McDavid set the goals that won the game and gave his country the ultimate bragging rights.
Everyone wondered what would happen with the opening pack drop following the three nine-second battles that took place this Saturday in Montreal between the two countries.

However, it was a normal start to the hockey game as the gloves remained on the stick and both teams fell into business.
However, there was something similar to the last game as Team Canada was on the board first, and almost five minutes after Nathan Mackinnon's Nifty Lister period, Team Canada was on the board first.
Connor Helibuick, who started Netminder for Team USA, was fully protected by many players from both countries in the shooting lane. That was McKinnon's idea when he skated in the middle and threw Lister towards the net.

It was perfect arrangement as it passed the right shoulder of the helibuick and there was no deflection. Thomas Harley and Sam Reinhart received assists in goal.
However, Team USA responded with three unanswered goals after dropping 1-0 on Saturday, and they started the trend again.

Who got the job done with the Oston Matthews Pass on Saturday than Brady Tokachuk, one of Bell Center's fighters?
With three teams Canadian players around the crease, Tkachuk fights them all, just enough sticks to a puck enough to tie the game past Canadian goalkeeper Jordan Binnington I was able to put it in.
In the second term, Tkachuk's Forecke ultimately scored goals by 22-year-old Montana native Jake Sanderson, who eventually buried another Matthews assist and defensive man Zach Welensky's restaurant. It was amazing behind the net.
Again, the game script seemed to be written again, but Sam Bennett had other things in mind for Team Canada.
Six minutes to play second, Bennett tied it to a Lister, completely placed on the shoulder of a helibuick set by Mitch Marner. To Open Bennett.
As the game was tied together by two goals, the second term horns rang, and this four-nations championship tilt was set for a rough third term.
However, I felt that bonus hockey during overtime was correct in the end.

Team USA had some opportunities in that overtime. Matthews in particular got a pass from Jake Guanzel in the crease, but Binnington stopped the game winner with a right pad to continue the game.
Binnington has to stop the final 20 shots from Team USA and do some acrobatics in the process to keep McDavid wide open in the slot.
