One of the best hockey games I've seen in a long time. USA and Canada tied at 3 going into the third period. We score a couple of soft goals to take a 5-3 lead. With less than five minutes to play, Canada scores on the powerplay (courtesy of a bullplop penalty- how does the American player get called for goaltender interference when a Canadian defenseman pushes him into the Canadian keeper?) A minute and a half later, Canada ties it up and forces overtime.
In the 4-on-4 OT period, it was back and forth with both teams having good chances. Canada tries to press, but leaves themselves open to a 3 on 2 rush. The American forward fakes a pass and then lasers one past the goalie giving us the sudden death win!
Hopefully this will be the sign of things to come in Vancouver!
