"The U.S. and Canada faced off in the men's and women's hockey finals in the same Olympics twice before the Milan-Cortina Games. Both times Canada took home all the gold. Now the Americans have a chance at a sweep of their own after the men's team routed Slovakia 6-2 on Friday to advance to the gold-medal game Sunday, when they will face - you guessed it -- Canada. The U.S. women have already done their part, beating Canada in overtime in their final Thursday."
"The men rode two second-period goals from Jack Hughes and three assists from Zack Werenski to their one-sided victory. Canada rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Finland 3-2 in other semifinal. The Americans also got first-period scores from Dylan Larkin and Tage Thompson, a second-period goal from Jack Eichel and a third-period score from Brady Tkachuk. Larkin put the U.S. in front to stay less than five minutes after the opening faceoff,"
