Canadian teams pay out in American dollars but take in Canadian dollars in revenue. Also higher taxes, weather, pressure from rabid fans, scare off signings

But Canadians still make up the largest block of players from any country in the NHL. So any winner of the Stanley Cup is most likely dominated by Canadians. Fun fact: Of 32 teams, the team with the most Canadian's on it that season won 3 of the last 6 Stanley Cups

Canada outshot USA 2 to 1. Deserved to win, but missed on some glorious chances. This one hurts knowing Trump will crow about it, like he won the game single handedly

But congratulations to the US. Your goalie was a wall. You staved off the Canadian pressure, and persevered.
