The stakes could not possibly be any higher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the pinnacle of the sport, this is as good as it gets,\u201d American forward Matthew Tkachuk said.<\/p>\n<p>Then, perhaps forgetting that the puck will drop at 8:10 a.m. ET, Tkachuk added optimistically, \u201cThere will not be one TV without this game on in the United States and Canada. That should get you pretty fired up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Americans have not won Olympic gold in men\u2019s hockey since the iconic \u201cMiracle on Ice\u201d 46 years ago. They last reached the gold-medal match in Vancouver in 2010 when Sidney Crosby\u2019s overtime goal lifted host Canada to victory in what remains the most-watched TV broadcast in that hockey-obsessed country\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>While nine-time champion Canada won the last two times the Olympics featured NHL players in 2010 and 2014, a best-on-best U.S. victory on Sunday would not be a miracle. The Americans came to Milan with a roster overflowing with NHL talent and the unwavering belief that it is at last their time again.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Sunday\u2019s key players were also on the ice last February when the U.S. and Canada split a pair of tense, hard-fought games at the 4 Nations Face-Off. The Americans won the round-robin matchup in a game that began with three fights in the opening nine seconds. Connor McDavid\u2019s overtime goal secured revenge for the Canadians in the final just a few days later.<\/p>\n<p>Will Canada celebrate Olympic gold for the 10th time?
