Does the U.S. victory shift hockey’s balance of power? They also examine Connor McDavid’s record in high-stakes games, discussing criticism of his clutch reputation and the coaching staff’s deployment decisions, while considering what the win means for Auston Matthews’ legacy and whether it stands as the biggest victory of his career.
