Nice win for Team USA Hockey. A 5-3 thriller with an empty-netter in the final moment to ice it (no pun intended).
U.S. goalie Ryan Miller (with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres) was utterly bad-ass, stopping 42 of 45 Canadian shots. Minutes after the third period ended, Ryan Miller's Wikipedia page had already been updated with the nickname Ryan "The Canada Killer" Miller.
The good guys finished pool play with the number one overall seed heading into elimination game. They'll have a first round bye.
The U.S. had not beaten Canada in Olympic play since 1960.
Coincidentally, 30 years ago today, the United States hockey team defeated the Soviet Union in the 'Miracle on Ice'.
