Canada defeated Team USA in an overtime thriller 3-2 to earn the gold medal in what was a remarkable 2010 Olympics.
Jonathan Toews scored the first goal for Canada, Corey Perry the second, and Sidney Crosby netted the game-winner 7:40 into overtime.
Down 2-0, USA fought back to tie the game, with goals from Ryan Kesler and a clutch one from Zach Parise, with just 24.4 seconds remaining in regulation.
Chris Drury played 9:34, while Ryan Callahan played 9:14. Both were superb on the penalty kill throughout the entire tournament.
Canada outshot Team USA 39-36 and both teams were 0-2 on the power play.
Ryan Miller received the well-deserved tournament MVP honors.
…Amazing game. Miller was sensational, totally kept this team in it every game.Too bad Crosby had to be the one to put the dagger in the hearts of Team USA though.
…I’m not happy, it’ll take a while for this feeling to go away, but Team USA did earn the silver medal and we have to be proud of what our country’s hockey players did. Great tournament. Let’s hope the NHLers get another shot in four years.
