The Gold medal game is Sunday. On Monday those guys will be back playing with their teams focusing on the Stanley Cup.

True, however overall, Canada has more seasoned/arguably better known players. I think read somewhere that on average, Team Canada's players make about $3 million more/year than Team USA's.
Nonetheless, what a great game.
