It's a one-and-done, and anything can happen in that scenario.
And to think the U.S.
was really just shot for shot early on in this game, keeping up with Canada, the energy was there, and then in the second period, the back-to-back penalties and the five-on-three, and even though the U.S.
killed off those penalties... They were exhausted.
Everything changed from that point, and the ice is tilted, and I'm thinking they're just holding on and holding on and holding on, which makes it even more special in the way because they weren't the more talented team in that situation.
They were getting skated around, and Hellebuck's doing this unbelievable job of stopping so many skilled shots.
Well, that paddle save on.
Oh, my God.
That's going to go down in history.
He turns around, and if Taves, I guess, elevates it just โ or doesn't elevate it, rather, and just slides it under, maybe Hellebuck doesn't make that save.
It was just the perfect scenario for Hellebuck to make it, just amazing, this flexibility and going backwards.
But the fact that they're hanging on, hanging on, hanging on, it's funny because Eddie Olchek says โ
You know, with about seven minutes to go in the third period that the U.S.
would sign for going to three-on-three right now.
But then they get the double minor.
Canada gets a double minor, and here we go.
And you're thinking you've got four minutes of a power play.
You don't because then we end up getting the high stick on Jack Hughes after he got the high stick on his face and knocks his teeth out.
I mean, all these things that were going on.
How about the double post that was hit?
