After Trump-fueled brawls, Canada-US renew Olympic hockey rivalry

Rick Nash played in what many consider the rivalry's signature Olympic match: the gold medal game at Vancouver 2010. Canada won it. "I don't think I slept the night before," Nash, a three-time Olympian and former National Hockey League star, told AFP. Canadian hockey fans still cherish their country's image as the dominant hockey nation, recoiling at evidence the Americans are now an equal power. When Canadian superstar Sidney Crosby scored in overtime to secure gold on home ice, it brought collective national relief.
