Every weeknight, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore a compelling story they are covering.
These conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight's episode: Overtime winner, fast food dinner.
On paper, it was an exhibition game that meant absolutely nothing. But for millions of Canadians, the final of the 4 Nations Face-Off against the Team USA was a proxy for the brewing tensions between both countries.
When superstar Connor McDavid scored the OT winner, the entire nation exhaled. (The only thing better would have been if McDavid pocketed the goal in the 51st minute of overtime.)
In his hometown of Newmarket, the celebration was extra sweet. Even the local McDonald's has temporarily changed its name to "McDavid's" in honour of his on-ice heroics. (A McDonald's in Edmonton, home to McDavid's Oilers, has done the same).
