The 4 Nations Face-Off final between Team USA and Canada was befitting of a Hollywood-like finish. With a game-winning — and tournament-ending — goal, the Canadians received just that.

Nathan MacKinnon may have opened the scoring, placing his seeing-eye snipe past Connor Hellebuyck's grasp, but Connor McDavid ended it, sending the pro-Canada minority that pooled into Boston's TD Garden into raptures in the process.

There was more than just bragging rights at play when the Canadians and Americans jousted atop the glimmering Beantown ice. Hardware also loomed in the background. So, too, did various geopolitical interests.

When the dust settled, it was Canada hoisting the cup, thanks in large part to its biggest star.
