Follow live: Team USA, Canada set for epic rematch as rivals fight to the finish

It all comes down to USA vs. Canada, as the two teams are set to match up in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game Thursday night. This will be the first men’s hockey best-on-best championship between the two countries since the 2010 Olympic gold medal game, which Canada won in overtime.

This rematch comes just five days after the U.S. beat Canada 3-1 in round-robin play in a game that was punctuated by three fights in the first nine seconds of play. En route to the championship game, Canada beat both Sweden and Finland, while the U.S. beat Finland but lost to Sweden on Monday, after their spot in the final was already clinched. The tournament replaced the NHL All-Star Game this year ahead of next year's Winter Olympics in Milan, which NHL players will participate in for the first time since 2014.

Just how anticipated is this game? Earlier Thursday, tickets were reselling for nearly $800, with the most expensive seats in the lower bowl going for upward of $2,200.
