The US men's hockey team put on a sensational performance in Friday's semifinal game, crushing Slovakia and advancing to Sunday's gold medal game vs. Canada.

Team USA won with a final score of 6-2.

The Americans got off to a fast start and never looked back, with the first goal coming from Dylan Larkin just over four minutes into the contest. By the end of the second period, it was already 5-0 USA.

Sunday's game vs. Canada will be the first time Team USA has been in a men's hockey gold medal game since 2010. That game was also vs. Canada - and ended in a 3-2 overtime loss for the U.S.

The last time the U.S. won gold in men's hockey was 1980 - at the Lake Placid Olympics against the Soviet Union.

Watch the Americans take on Canada for a chance at Olympic gold Sunday at 7:10 a.m. on TMJ4.
