It truly was a great game. And I would like to second the opinion that both teams played like champions and kept it from turning into a goon brawl. Given the level of emotion both teams brought, that in itself says a lot about their professionalism and love of the sport.
Even I, who was rooting thoroughly for Canada, was saddened by the looks on Miller & Co's faces--but either way, someone was going to be wearing those expressions; it's the nature of competition. The Canuck crew earned the gold, but for my money, so did the Yanks. Could have gone either way.
Thanks to them all for a great showdown!
