Exciting Overtime Victory
Boston, Massachusetts Here along the Lake there was no exhilaration from winning, nor were there any tears, this was a game that could have gone either way, of course I would have appreciated it more if our team came out on top.
Hockey fans attending or watching elsewhere were treated to some of the best hockey games and finish to an international tournament that was provided by most of the top NHL talent.
This game had some heart-stopping moments for our Northern Cousins as team USA had brilliant chances, one came shorthanded on the only penalty whistled in the game, a breakaway, point blank chances in OT, but Goaltender Binnington was outstanding.
Goaltender Hellebuyck was also playing strong as Canada was crowding the net so much so, that at one point the ESPN announcer quipped that it appeared to be a Canadian team photo.
It was Connor McDavid scoring in overtime for the Canadians victory, left alone near the stick side faceoff circle’s hashmarks to end an enjoyable tournament earning Canada bragging rights.
