“Make America Silver Again,” read the sign held aloft by a Team Canada fan, but the Americans clutched their pile of gold even tighter. The USA has now beat Canada in the finals of eight consecutive international tournaments stretching back to the women’s world championship in 2015, and including the 2018 Olympics. 5-2 it was, and 5-2 it finished, the Americans hoisting the Four Nations Cup, and the Canadians watching sadly. Canada beat Sweden 6-1 and Finland 3-0 when they weren’t running into those formidable Americans. Shannon Szabados was pulled from the Team Canada net early in the third period after allowing her fifth goal, and Emerance Maschmeyer finished.
