The next game will be stateside. I look forward to it.
Canada and the USA have always had intense games through the years. As hockey got more popular in the Us and teams showed up in places like LA and San Jose, Phoenix, Tampa Bay and Dallas. It keeps gaining more fan base. The international competition in the Olympics and world tournaments have added to the rivalry. The US Women’s team against the Canadian Women’s team are alway hard fought games. The level of competitiveness went up when Russian players came into the NHL. Next year I hope they add a team Europe with Russian, Czech, German and French players. It’s the pride in country that each player can exhibit and entertainment for people who love the sport. It’s about the only thing I care about in the Winter Olympics. IMO
