As the hockey world gets set for the Four Nations Face-Off, taking place in Boston and Montreal next week, Hailey and Sean, along with Max Bultman, take an early, closer look at the rosters for the United States and Canada at the Milan Olympics, which begin one year from now. Plus they ask, do Sweden and Finland have a chance for an upset at the Four Nations, and the IIHF deciding to continue to ban Russia and Belarus from International hockey for the 2025-26 seasons and what it means for their involvement in the 2026 Winter Olympics.
