The article reflects on Canada's triumph at the 4 Nations Face-Off, drawing parallels to past victories, notably Sidney Crosby's Golden Goal. Joe Thornton's comment on McDavid emphasizes national pride in having such talent. Despite challenges and a close competition, including a loss to the U.S., McDavid ultimately delivered the decisive play in overtime. This match not only showcased individual brilliance but also highlighted the team's resilience and unity, reinforcing the importance of competition among elite players for Canada.
I'm sure this one means a lot to him, Crosby said of McDavid. And it meant a lot to us. You're just happy he was born in Canada.
We clamor so enthusiastically for best-on-best competition to see what happens when you gather so many greats.
At least, that is, until a little more than eight minutes into overtime, when Marner found him all alone in the slot and McDavid made no mistake with his cleanest look of the entire tournament.
Honestly, everybody was so dug in. It starts months and months and months ahead.
