As Team Canada and Team USA prepare for the highly anticipated final of the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, fans are bracing for an exciting showdown. This game also has some added drama, as it will be a rematch from their round-robin game, in which the USA was victorious, winning 3-1 over their Canadian counterparts.

This rivalry is so intense that major landmarks in each country -- the CN Tower in Canada and the Empire State Building in the USA -- have been lit up in their respective team colours to show support to their teams prior to the anticipated tilt.

This matchup is clearly important for the players and the citizens of their respective nations. Both teams have exchanged jabs, showcasing their passion for their flag and desire to win the tournament.
