It was an extremely intense and well-played game by all involved.
No one had to walk away feeling they could have given more.
Congratulations to both teams!
Crosby's goal wins gold, Canada beats US 3-2 in OT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) -- Sidney Crosby sized up goalie Ryan Miller in overtime and delivered hockey gold to a nation that not only craved it, but demanded it, too.
Silver wouldn't satisfy. Not in this sport and not in these Olympics.
Canada needed a pick-me-up to call the past 17 days a success. With a wrist shot Miller wasn't expecting, Crosby wiped away a whole lot of hurt. The scoreboard read Canada 3, USA 2. A happy - yet relieved country - rejoiced Sunday.
