THE PLAY: Canada -110
It's always a big deal when Canada and the USA face each other. With Trump talking about taking over Canada, the Canadian fans want this one more than ever. On the ice, both teams are loaded. If they meet again in the Final, it'll be on American soil and the Americans will be favored. With this one being played in Canada, look for the Canadians to dig deep and get it done.
