Last night's 4 Nations Face-Off grudge match between Team Canada and Team USA was an instant classic in a myriad of ways.
Although Canada lost the game, a win against Finland will allow them to rematch against the Americans in the Championship Game.
McDavid had a beautiful goal in the game on Saturday night but apart from that, his team could not get it going offensively.
However, after the game, the Edmonton Oilers captain had a very simply message for Team USA that should resonate with the rest of Canada's roster.
If you are a hockey fan, the 4 Nations Face-Off has been an absolute treat and last night's game was definitely an instant classic.
The Americans are feeling good about their chances, but this would not be the first time in which Canada lost to the U.S in a group stage only to beat them in the Gold Medal.
If Canada wanted to lose a game this tournament, they picked the right time to do it.
Now, they must run the table and when you have guys like Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and McDavid, you have to like your chances.
No matter what, this is going to be a phenomenal tournament that has made the NHL look like absolute geniuses.
