Brady Tkachuk said the U.S. men's team aims to end decades of close losses to Canada and win their first Olympic gold since 1980, with a perfect 15-for-15 penalty kill so far.
- On the eve in Milan, Brady Tkachuk said strong animosity exists between the Americans and Team Canada ahead of Sunday's final, calling it the biggest game for many players.
- Last year's 4 Nations in Montreal featured three fights in nine seconds, but Canada won the final 2-1 in overtime, and U.S. men haven't beaten Canada since 1996.
- Canada's power play, 6-for-17, features MacKinnon, McDavid, Celebrini, Reinhart, and Makar, while the U.S. penalty kill remains perfect at 15-for-15, Trocheck said.
- With Olympic gold elusive since 1980, Brady Tkachuk said, `I mean, we were one shot away last year, and sometimes you got to go through that adversity, that sadness, those tough times for the good times to feel even better.`
- Built on recent growth, many players from last year's cycle including Clayton Keller, Tage Thompson and Jeremy Swayman earned spots at this year's Olympics after the May world championship win.
