Some games have ever felt as high stakes in the 4 countries face-off championship games as USA and Canada. So naturally, the best player of a generation took to end it.
Connor McDwid opened his name in Canadian hockey history with a golden goal in Boston on Thursday, won a game and a tournament, which felt bigger than everything played in an all-star break.
The target was scored 15 years ago in the 2010 Olympic gold medal match by Sydney Crossbie, a Canadian team partner of Golden Gol McDawid. Each player was invested in the game, and Canada survived only that point because of an untrue performance by goalkeeper Jordan Binington in overtime.
The first two periods were also both, each team set a target in each frame. Nathan McKinon responded to Most of any player, but Brady Takachuk on the board with his four goals of the tournament.
Tachuk, who practiced on Wednesday with a disease, contributed much more than a target, although. He was certainly the most physical players of Americans, distributing many big -time hits and setting tone for the game.
The team USA took the lead over the Jake Sanderson goal in the second period, and then Sam Bennett tied it properly.
There was no scoring in the third period, as strong targets and high-exile rescue took over. The two countries waited for that one last punch, but naturally high stakes had to run until a tournament winner Golden goal on the line.
Even overtime rules reflected that each team wanted victory, as there was no three hockey or firing. As long as a team wins, normal, sudden death hockey.
USA-Canada 4 nations discontinued a large-scale successful tournament
The game was a true pick in Betmgm, with both nations carrying obstacles. Canada was a pre-tournament favorite, but the US was left a mark to lose 3–1 to the US as to how the rest of the tournament was played.
If the tournament had been decided on that game, it would have been enough. Dissatisfaction between the two teams, the political relationship between their two governments deteriorated, was crystallized with three quarrels before the game and in the first nine seconds.
Canada went on strike first with a converle McDavid goal, but the US scored 3–1 to win every period. The necklace did not prevent Canada from making the final, thanks to the victory over Sweden and Finland, set up a winner-tech-all matchup with all pressure from an Olympic final. Both players and fans completely took their feelings to the new tournament completely, and the result was some top level hockey in the middle of the NHL season.
At an age where every major sports league is to do what to do during its all-star break, NHL hit gold so hard that it is inspired to copy. As it turns out, national pride is a cat of a motivator.
