Should the IOC have the USA and Canada redo the Gold Medal game in case it was a big fluke? (sopuli.xyz)

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.

That's the joy of hockey, even the best teams lose sometimes. Anything can happen, that's what makes it so fun to watch. And that's why they play best-of-seven in the NHL.

Canada definitely deserved to win, and I'm proud of how well they played against an unbelievably stacked US team. Once it got to overtime it was pretty much a coin toss.

You have to admit, even as a Canada supporter, Jack Hughes scoring that goal like 10 minutes after getting half a tooth knocked out is such an iconic moment for hockey.

The best team is the one that wins and that's why we play the game. If you knew who was best beforehand, you could just stay home.
