Yeah.

They haven't played since 2014 in Sochi.

And, you know, so the U.S.

and Canada, these two rosters are stacked with stars who just haven't ever gotten a chance to play.

They're the two best teams in the tournament.

All of them were hoping for this.

Here's how the U.S.

winger and star Matthew Kachuk put it last night.

You know, it's hard to say, Scott.

I think both have looked great at their peaks.

I'll say this for Canada.

They've had two nail-biter elimination games in a row.

The first against Czechia in the quarterfinals, then again yesterday in the semifinals versus Finland.

And in both games, they were down a goal in the third period.

Yet, honestly, even when they were trailing, I felt like it was inevitable.

It felt like the whole arena felt like it was inevitable that they would keep their chances alive because...

Their top line is insane.

Connor McDavid, he's the best player in hockey.

Next to him, Nathan McKinnon, who this season is the NHL's top goal scorer.

Next to them, Macklin Celebrini, 19 years old, easily the best young player in the league.
