Team USA came close to giving the President and his supporters a sort of first MAGA world title, but ultimately fell short in overtime.

There was outstanding goaltending on both sides, Connor Hellebuyck robbed Cale Makar with seconds left in regulation and Jordan Binnington thwarted Auston Matthews three times in overtime. And to top it off the best player world, Connor McDavid, beat the best goalie in the world, Hellebuyck, to seal the win.

It's hard to put a finger on the true stakes of Thursday night's 4 Nations Face-Off final in Boston. After all, this tournament didn't exist a year ago and, up until just about a week ago, was one people doubted anyone would care about -- including the players participating.
