Now the Americans have their latest chance at Olympic gold against their archrival in a showdown Thursday that will include Marie-Philip Poulin, whose two goals snatched gold from US hands in Sochi. “They’re the best in the world (U.S. and Canada)”.

The Americans, showing little resemblance to the team that had to come from behind against Finland in their first meeting, went out front early in the first period.

The U.S. won the first hockey gold in 1998 with Canada winning the next four.

But the USA women are bringing an intangible to Thursday’s tilt that they didn’t have four years ago.

Canada’s Meghan Agosta replied to make it 1-1.

The Canadians said they didn’t like the shootout format, preferring overtime to settle a game of such magnitude.
