US and Canada to a homebound flight

Waiting for the milk train.
So it was a dramatic victory over US -  Finland took last-gasp 3-2 win over US in hockey worlds the United States in the quarter finals of the Ice Hockey World Championship in Helsinki.
One man Jesse Joensuu was the Finnish hero, with two goals in the game including the winner with just 8 seconds remaining.
Slovakia beat Canada 4-3  to go through to the semi-finals, in which they will face either Sweden or the Czech Republic.
The semi-finals will be played at the Helsinki Arena on Saturday, with the final and bronze medal match to follow on Sunday evening.
North Americans, as a home-front.
In Finland, we say `maitojuna´, `a milk train´, is means the loser´s homebound train.
A word comes originally from military slang.
Cadet School in Hamina did it, sent home by a slow morning train all those, who were leavers without graduation.
The milk train had a main activity, it to collected from milk to a dairy in rural areas (there were in a train rattling sounds of milk churns).

Thank you for your good-bye.
