But give Canada a ton of credit.
They got Marie-Philippe Poulin back.
She's their best player.
She's their captain.
And speaking of goaltending, Debian in goal for Canada was simply unbelievable in that game.
She had a really great bounce-back performance.
And I think it worked out great the way it ended up, Jesse, because if it was another 5-0 game, it would have been fun.
It would have been cool.
We would have had gold for the USA.
But the way the game played out, the fact that Canada played the near-perfect game, they had the upset going for 58 minutes.
The U.S.
had to pull their goaltender, Hillary Knight, with that unbelievable play.
to tie it up and then to see our homegrown talent, Taylor Heisey, make the great stretch pass, trying to catch Canada on a change in overtime to set up the game-winning goal.
I thought it just made for a magical, magical viewing, and I think it made it a little bit more, I think, special in terms of the juice that it had.
Really gutsy pass.
And back to Hillary Knight.
I've had the pleasure of watching her for a long time as a fan of the game and certainly a fan of hers.
She's all class.
And, yeah, really, I think, to your point, poetic that she gets the biggest goal of all in that tournament.
Without that goal, they end up with silver.
