Woke up and Team USA had a 1-0 lead.
Mike Eruzione Signed Puck
*This signed puck was a flea market freebie from 2013. I turned a Pokemon find into some free items. One of them was this puck signed by the captain of the 1980 Team USA hockey team.
As I'm starting to write this post, Team Canada has tied it up. Obviously I'm rooting for Team USA, but I've got nothing but love and respect for our friends in the north.

**If this card looks familiar, it's because it's the third time I'm showing it off on my blog. That's how much I love it. It's one of my favorite hockey inserts from the 90's. Gretzky only suited up for Team Canada once in the Winter Olympics (Nagano 1998), but represented them a bunch of other times during the Canada Cup tournaments in the 80's and 90's.
Happy Sunday and sayonara!
Overtime
Jack Hughes scores in overtime. Team USA wins. What an amazing 3rd period. Honestly I thought Team Canada was going to win with their stellar play and all of their shots on goal. Kudos to Connor Hellebuyck. He made some insane saves.

***Brian Leetch represented Team USA in three Winter Olympics. In his third and final appearance, he helped Team USA win the silver medal in 2002. Anyone remember the team who took home the gold? Yup. Team Canada.
Unfortunately I don't own any cards of Hughes or Hellebuyck, so this Leetch will have to do.

Go USA!
OT, let's go! USA 🇺🇸
That was a hell of a game by both teams! I'm thrilled that the US won both gold medals but Canada certainly deserved it too.
What a game! Sad Macklin didn't score, but a USA win and a good game make up for it
Great tournaments by the USA Women and Men. Top talent on both teams that played as a team. Winter Olympics are my favorite. Enjoy the time all!
Great post. Awesome games.
My daughter wears a Hughes Devils jersey since we live about 20 minutes from Newark. She went to a game this year with his school choir and has gotten really into following the Devils.
