It's All On The Line For Team USA Tonight

from Frank Seravalli of TSN,

What began as Team USA’s “championship game” against Team Canada on Tuesday night has morphed into much more than that. It’s also their worst nightmare.

Thanks to Team Europe’s overtime win over the Czech Republic on Monday afternoon, Tuesday’s showdown against their cross-border neighbour is their entire tournament.

The United States will be eliminated from the World Cup of Hockey on Day 4 of the tournament with anything short of a win against Canada at Air Canada Centre.

This three-game round robin format has created the ultimate put-up-or-shut-up theatre for a proud world hockey power that supposedly constructed its roster based solely on the idea of taking down Canada.
