the "Lake Placid 80 version 2.0" college team  lead 2-1 after period 1.

 

Meyers made it 2-1 at time 18:44

If I were king, I’d make it Squaw Valley 60 2.0,  From a strictly sporting standpoint I think that’s an even greater upset.  There was an article today pointing out that USA hasn’t beaten Canada in Olympics with non-NHL players since 1960.

Absolutely. "The Forgotten miracle" was probably biggest upset than the 1980, but the Lake Placid one was sold more to the general audience.

Better 2nd half of the period 2 from Canada. How much and quickly can change the "mojo" in hockey was shown right here, Shorthanded goal during Eric Staal penalty and Canada suddenly was the better team on the ice.

 

 

3-2 USA afer 2 periods

[hckošice 14,836]

Eric Staal send again to the penalty box, maybe trying the same shorthanded goal strategy as in 2nd period

[hckošice 14,836]

Kenny Agostino 4-2 USA, Time 46:13

[hckošice 14,836]

31 seconds 2 man advantage powerplay for Time 55:23

won the North-American derby. They need now just a point from the match against Germany (pending GER beat China in Regulation Time) to win the group A and move directly to the quarterfinals.

 

Canada in trouble to receive the bye in round of 16. If SWE-FIN will not end in regulation Time, someone will be very unlucky to get Canada in his Last 16 match...
