Connor McDavid was visibly annoyed in a post-game interview in response to Saturday night's loss to the U.S. and declared Monday night's game to be game 7. Connor McDavid craves <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/matthew-and-brady-tkachuk-reveal-the-shocking-reason-they-fought-in-the-first-few-seconds-of-canada-usa-game' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>yet another fight with Team USA after Saturday night's game</a> against the Americans ended in defeat for Canada by a score of 3-1. It was fast, tight-checking, competitive, emotional. It had everything you would want in a hockey game, McDavid said, according to The Athletic's Arpon Basu. It sucks it didn't go our way, but this thing's far from over. <h3>McDavid believes Monday's game will be like a game 7</h3> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class=instagram-media data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=https://www.instagram.com/p/DGIwZooOGbn/?igsh=cWp6cmlmNno2Y3hk&fbclid=IwY2xjawIe4lZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZwMF_upa0BkAsZgkghtpqqFkIbGe6kb1RNuFScpUN1bSDRKAPB4iiDs8g_aem_ZGazM2wIUFlswxYha_iEbg data-instgrm-version=12 style= background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);><div style=padding:16px;> <a href=https://www.instagram.com/p/DGIwZooOGbn/?igsh=cWp6cmlmNno2Y3hk&fbclid=IwY2xjawIe4lZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHZwMF_upa0BkAsZgkghtpqqFkIbGe6kb1RNuFScpUN1bSDRKAPB4iiDs8g_aem_ZGazM2wIUFlswxYha_iEbg style= background:#FFFFFF; line-height:0; padding:0 0; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; width:100%; target=_blank> <div style= display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;> <div style=background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;></div> <div style=display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;> <div style= background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;></div> <div style= background-color: #F4F4F4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;></div></div></div><div style=padding: 19% 0;></div><div style=display:block; height:50px; margin:0 auto 12px; width:50px;><svg width=50px height=50px viewBox=0 0 60 60 version=1.1 xmlns=https://www.w3.org/2000/svg xmlns:xlink=https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink><g stroke=none stroke-width=1 fill=none fill-rule=evenodd><g transform=translate(-511.000000, -20.000000) fill=#000000><g><path d=M556.869,30.41 C554.814,30.41 553.148,32.076 553.148,34.131 C553.148,36.186 554.814,37.852 556.869,37.852 C558.924,37.852 560.59,36.186 560.59,34.131 C560.59,32.076 558.924,30.41 556.869,30.41 M541,60.657 C535.114,60.657 530.342,55.887 530.342,50 C530.342,44.114 535.114,39.342 541,39.342 C546.887,39.342 551.658,44.114 551.658,50 C551.658,55.887 546.887,60.657 541,60.657 M541,33.886 C532.1,33.886 524.886,41.1 524.886,50 C524.886,58.899 532.1,66.113 541,66.113 C549.9,66.113 557.115,58.899 557.115,50 C557.115,41.1 549.9,33.886 541,33.886 M565.378,62.101 C565.244,65.022 564.756,66.606 564.346,67.663 C563.803,69.06 563.154,70.057 562.106,71.106 C561.058,72.155 560.06,72.803 558.662,73.347 C557.607,73.757 556.021,74.244 553.102,74.378 C549.944,74.521 548.997,74.552 541,74.552 C533.003,74.552 532.056,74.521 528.898,74.378 C525.979,74.244 524.393,73.757 523.338,73.347 C521.94,72.803 520.942,72.155 519.894,71.106 C518.846,70.057 518.197,69.06 517.654,67.663 C517.244,66.606 516.755,65.022 516.623,62.101 C516.479,58.943 516.448,57.996 516.448,50 C516.448,42.003 516.479,41.056 516.623,37.899 C516.755,34.978 517.244,33.391 517.654,32.338 C518.197,30.938 518.846,29.942 519.894,28.894 C520.942,27.846 521.94,27.196 523.338,26.654 C524.393,26.244 525.979,25.756 528.898,25.623 C532.057,25.479 533.004,25.448 541,25.448 C548.997,25.448 549.943,25.479 553.102,25.623 C556.021,25.756 557.607,26.244 558.662,26.654 C560.06,27.196 561.058,27.846 562.106,28.894 C563.154,29.942 563.803,30.938 564.346,32.338 C564.756,33.391 565.244,34.978 565.378,37.899 C565.522,41.056 565.552,42.003 565.552,50 C565.552,57.996 565.522,58.943 565.378,62.101 M570.82,37.631 C570.674,34.438 570.167,32.258 569.425,30.349 C568.659,28.377 567.633,26.702 565.965,25.035 C564.297,23.368 562.623,22.342 560.652,21.575 C558.743,20.834 556.562,20.326 553.369,20.18 C550.169,20.033 549.148,20 541,20 C532.853,20 531.831,20.033 528.631,20.18 C525.438,20.326 523.257,20.834 521.349,21.575 C519.376,22.342 517.703,23.368 516.035,25.035 C514.368,26.702 513.342,28.377 512.574,30.349 C511.834,32.258 511.326,34.438 511.181,37.631 C511.035,40.831 511,41.851 511,50 C511,58.147 511.035,59.17 511.181,62.369 C511.326,65.562 511.834,67.743 512.574,69.651 C513.342,71.625 514.368,73.296 516.035,74.965 C517.703,76.634 519.376,77.658 521.349,78.425 C523.257,79.167 525.438,79.673 528.631,79.82 C531.831,79.965 532.853,80.001 541,80.001 C549.148,80.001 550.169,79.965 553.369,79.82 C556.562,79.673 558.743,79.167 560.652,78.425 C562.623,77.658 564.297,76.634 565.965,74.965 C567.633,73.296 568.659,71.625 569.425,69.651 C570.167,67.743 570.674,65.562 570.82,62.369 C570.966,59.17 571,58.147 571,50 C571,41.851 570.966,40.831 570.82,37.631></path></g></g></g></svg></div></a></div></blockquote></div> To reach that final alongside them, Canada must win the next game on Monday in regulation or if their victory is in overtime, they must see Sweden winning in overtime as well or see Sweden getting defeated in regulation play. Team captain Sam Bennett agreed with Connor McDavid and craved that rematch while stating that all that concentration must now go to Monday night's next game. It's the greatest rivalry in hockey, and they got us tonight, Bennett said, according to NHL.com's Mike Zeisberger. I mean, we're not going to look ahead to a (rematch), but obviously, we want them again. American Dylan Larkin wants to play that game all over again, which likely means he is hoping Canada will advance to the finals. This was a special one, Larkin said, according to Sportsnet. It would be great to see those guys again. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1890993376645763294'> </a></blockquote></div> It was Matthew Tkachuk who set that game to that kind of tone by <a href='https://www.foxnews.com/sports/usa-canada-hockey-stars-get-numerous-fights-opening-seconds-4-nations-rivalry-after-anthem-boos' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>dropping the gloves in that fight at nearly the start of play</a> that spoke of how much that victory would have meant to him. Going into Saturday night's defeat at the United States' disposal, Canada was on a record-breaking 17-game winning streak in best-on-best play in that tournament. Their only other defeat at their arch-rivals' disposal had been in preliminary play in their 2010 Olympic preliminary game. Canada famously evened that score by going on to take that year's gold medal game in a thrilling manner capped by Sidney Crosby's iconic game-winner in overtime play. Now Jon Cooper wants to refocus for Monday night, pleased with how hard-fought their play was but aware that more work has to go in.
