Dear Gossips,

It’s truly a clash of the titans tonight at the Olympics. The gold medal game in hockey, Canada vs the United States. This is the date many of us had circled on the calendar going in, the marquee matchup in the sport. Or, as Hailey Salvian noted in her piece for The Athletic/NYT, it’s the “nastiest rivalry in hockey” - and for those of you who are unfamiliar, read that article to get up to date on the last THREE DECADES of animosity between these two teams.

If you’d rather watch, Hailey sums it up in this video below.
