    Breaking Down the USA vs. Canada Gold Medal Game

    Dimitri Filipovic is joined by Thomas Drance to do a postgame show for today's Gold Medal Game. We break down how USA was able to beat Canada 2-1 in overtime by getting into Connor Hellebuyck's huge performance in net, the looks Canada was generating but not converting on in the 2nd and 3rd periods, and Jack Hughes' overtime winner.

    Since it's such a big show to close out the Olympics we had to end it in style, so we brought Chris Pronger on near the end to go through our main takeaways coming out of this one and the players who stand to benefit most from it moving forward
