Farrell's father, Bill, will be in the Helsinki Ice Hall stands for the pivotal contest.
He made the trip overseas during the group stage to watch the Habs' hopeful in action.
"Any chance we get to spend some time together is a lot of fun, especially this year since I've been so busy. This is a cool time for us. It's been nice to get dinners with him and know that he's here and having a good time. That means a lot to me," noted Farrell. "It's great to come out of the rink and talk to my dad after the games, too, especially since I didn't have that same experience at the Olympics [because of the COVID-19 restrictions]. I wish I could've shared that with my family, but this is a pretty comparable thing."
That's for sure, and he couldn't be happier his country came calling again and extended his season in the process.
There isn't anywhere he'd rather be right now.
"I definitely didn't expect to be going to the Olympics, and then after the season ended at Harvard, I just thought I'd get into summer training and skating, and then fortunately I got a chance to play on this team here," concluded Farrell. "I was really excited to get this opportunity and have the chance to play a little bit more hockey. Any chance you get to play for Team USA, it's an awesome experience."
