UPDATE on USA vs. Canada: US loses beer, is stuck with the Bieb
UPDATE: The outcomes of both hockey matches have been determined, to the glee of the US' neighbors to the north.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper tweeted that he is looking forward to his brew.
Like I said, #teamusa is good but #wearewinter. @BarackObama, I look forward to my two cases of beer. #CANvsUSA #Sochi2014

Pyeongchang in 2018 can't come fast enough.
Prior to their men's and women's hockey games, the already-heated ice hockey rivalry between USA and Canada had reached Olympic proportions.
Epic Olympic proportions.
With the US and Canadian women's hockey teams fiercely battling it out for the Olympic gold medal Thursday and the men facing off in the semifinals Friday, the leaders of both countries have wagered a friendly bet for both games.
This, from Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper:
I'm betting @barackobama one case of Canadian beer per hockey game this week. #teamusa is good, but #WeAreWinter. #GoCanadaGo @WhiteHouse

This tweeted billboard picture, however, just took those stakes to a whole new level.
.@pmharper and I bet on the women's and men's US-Canada hockey games. Winner gets a case of beer for each game. #GoTeamUSA! -bo
