Thanks Shap. Don’t forget that slick, slight of hand goal by Mr B as well. That took some enormous pressure off of the USA for quite a long period of time knowing if/when Canada would likely score, hopefully at worst they would still be tied. Bennington was definitely “more beatable” than our tender, but the real chances to score were at least 3:1 in Canada’s favor and Hely was phenomenal. And hockey is also played with a round anodized disc which seems to be on-end half of the time, so you never know what the pill might do, hockey has its luck and mystery that way. Certainly one hell of a great game for both sides and one that will always be remembered by both sides and neighboring countries.
