Should the IOC have the USA and Canada redo the Gold Medal game in case it was a big fluke?

No disrespect to Canada, I'm a firm believer that the USA defeating them is a huge fluke and robs Canada of truly accomplishing what they're capable of. I've spent the last hour in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire Olympics watching Team Canada play great hockey it's just not fair.

If Canada loses again I will face that the USA deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to Canada and the Olympics.

We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.

Eh stop crying Canada isn't guaranteed a gold no matter how much everyone thinks we are. The world is getting better st hockey or we are getting worse doesn't matter outcome is the same.
Hell we almost didn't make the fold medal game.

My pet theory is that if Trump gloated about before the matches like he did for the Four Nations hockey match last year, Canada would have whooped ass. He's now learned his lesson to only celebrate afterward 😏.

It seems some people aren't familiar with the reference.

The Preds swept the Hawks during the first round of the playoffs 8 years ago. As I recall, the Hawks were heavily favored, so it was a pretty stunning upset. The linked post appeared shortly thereafter...
