The United States would look a little floored after that point and not long after it was Canada with the second period winding to an end. The third period was Ryan Miller time, with Miller making a few jaw-dropping stops to keep the deficit at one for the Americans.
Including a nifty save by Miller on Sidney Crosby who was in alone. And then, before you could blink, there was a minute and a half left, Miller on the bench, the game on the line. And all of a sudden things start happening in flashes. An American shoots at the net, Luongo gloves it but can't hold it, the puck is in the slot. And then Patick Kane throws one at the net, the puck deflects around and it's on Zach Parise 's stick who bangs it home. Parise is jumping on the glass, the players are going crazy, my heart is racing, chills running down my spine.
It's , it's , it's , it's , oh my God it's , it's really ! Overtime started soon after, and was about as nerve racking as anything I have ever watched. Hockey overtime is different than other sports, one mistake, one shot, one lucky bounce, one anything, and the game is over. Boom done, the game is over.
Crosby made that happen today, blasting the puck through Miller and ending the dreams of the United States. I bold this because it's vital. While it sickens me to watch Canada dance up and down and celebrate their gold medal at the expense of my country I can't help but swell with pride. Those are my boys over there, scaring the crap out of Canada bringing the United States within a scoring chance of wearing gold instead of silver.
Some Canadians will tell you that they knew all along they would win, that this is status quo, that this isn't a big deal, don't believe them. Sunday's viewership peaked at ET, an audience size only football usually can attract among American sports.
In Canada, an average of About 80 per cent of Canadians Sidney Crosby! The golden goal! And Canada has once-in-a-lifetime Olympic gold! These Golden Games have their crowning moment.
