Can't be happier both US Mens and Womens teams won. Both incredible games that could have gone either way.

Congratulations to the Team USA are in order!

Great effort. In all honesty, after the first period Canada was really on top the game in the Men's final especially, but Hellebuyck was absolutely outstanding, wow! While his individual effort was arguably the biggest factor in the result, it must be remembered that the U.S managed to utilize the chances they needed to win the gold, where as Canada didn't. "Fair" or not, that's how it goes.

Not a bad year for Team USA, with World Championships gold and Olympic gold in both, Men's & Women's. The Men's team dedicating both, the IIHF WC & Olympic gold to Johnny Gaudreau was certainly a class act too.

While Canada & USA were certainly the best teams in the Men's tournament, I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed at our Team Finland effort. It was good and bronze is certainly better than a fourth place, but I think our team performed so much better in relation the available roster in 2014 and especially 2006. Now we had a relatively strong roster, but didn't quite manage to utilize it in the end.

Well, bronze is still cool! Looking forward to the 2028 World Cup.
