We're just hours away from one of the biggest events of every winter olympics. Canada vs USA in the gold medal game in women's hockey. It's always super tense but this time around, for any number of reasons, that tension for Canadians seems to be over the top. Michaela Schreiter of She's Got Game on the TSN Radio Network stops by to discuss why Canada is so down on this group, what's gone wrong, why USA looks like such a wagon and what needs to change before the championship game for us to be able to celebrate.
