"That's as nervous as I've been ever in a hockey game," Dylan Larkin said.
When Canada was trailing Czechia with under four minutes left, guys with gold medals and Stanley Cup rings started to feel butterflies.
"I never had a doubt, but it was getting a little nerve-wracking," Drew Doughty said.
After plenty of nerves, the U.S. and Canada are moving on to the semifinals, though it took a roller coaster of emotions to get there.
Quinn Hughes scored in overtime to put the U.S. past Sweden 2-1 after Mika Zibanejad scored to tie it late.
"Just relief," Hughes said.
