Team USA beat down Team Canada in more way than one this past weekend.
Despite the fact that the men get most of the attention, the women's USA-Canada hockey rivalry is arguably more intense. Since women's hockey was added to the Winter Olympics in 1998 the United States and Canada have faced off in three of the four gold medal games. However since the Team USA won in 1998 the Canadians have reeled off three straight gold medals.
During a pre-Olympic exhibition game over the weekend in Grand Forks, North Dakota the U.S. women's team put up a 4-1 beat down over Team Canada — who are the favorite heading into Sochi.
