Hockey Gold - USA vs Canada

Becky and I watched the USA vs Canada Olympic hockey game this morning and were very excited to see the USA get the gold medal in a 2-1 overtime game. It was an awesome game and very tough for both teams. I really did think that Canada was going to win because they seemed to dominate throughout most of the game. Then came the 3 on 3 sudden death overtime. Wow, what an ending. And what a way to end the two weeks of the Olympics. The closing ceremony will be on this afternoon.

We were downstairs watching the game by 8:30 this morning which meant we missed a few minutes of the first period. I thought it was starting at 8:30. We didn't much and we certainly saw a lot of the game. And of course the overtime too.

Jack Hughes scored the winning goal in overtime and the goaltender Connor Hellebuyck won the MVP award for the tournament. This was the first time the USA team won Olympic gold in hockey in 46 years... since that Miracle on Ice against the Soviet Union at Lake Placid in 1980.

And the USA women's hockey team beat the Canadian team in overtime a few days ago.
