And that’s it.
Jack Hughes scores 1:41 into overtime, and the USA has won the gold medal.
Quinn Hughes looked like he had a chance early, but Binnnington made a huge glove save.
Just an unbelievable hockey game, and a fitting finish to this men’s hockey tournament.
Just a massive win for the U.S. and a brutal loss for Canada, but once we got to overtime, it was anyone’s game.
That’s it from Milan.
For those of you dealing with the snow, be careful out there.
Thanks for reading along and be sure to keep watching hockey when the NHL resumes on Wednesday.

Start of overtime is three minutes away.
Remember, it’s 3-on-3 until someone scores, with an intermission every 20 minutes, but I don’t know if we get that far.
These guys are so skilled, and so fast, you have to figure this is going to end pretty quickly.
But who knows. In 2010, it was Sidney Crosby who scored the golden goal, but he’s not in uniform today.
So who will it be?
You can bet that whenever Quinn Hughes gets the puck, the whole arena is going to hold its breath.
Same for Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Macklin Celebrini.
This is just unreal.

And we are going to overtime.
Just unreal.
Macklin Celebrini had multiple chances on the Canada power play, but couldn’t put one home.
No we go to 3-on-3 for 20-minute periods until someone scores.
Fitting. Eh?
Both teams had their chances to score in regulation.
The U.S. had a four-minute power play and then Canada had its own power play.
Now we bring out the Zamboni and take a much-needed break before overtime starts.
I can’t imagine what it’s like back home watching this.
What fun!

Talk about your close calls.
Canada’s Nathan MacKinnon appeared to have an easy goal with an open net staring at him, but he seemed to rush the shot and hit the side of the net.
Wow.
