MILAN — This wasn’t a miracle. It was a moment of magic.

Forty-six years to the day after a bunch of unheralded amateurs stunned the heavily favored Soviet Union en route to winning Olympic gold, the U.S. men’s hockey team engineered another epic victory. The Americans won a battle of the sport’s superpowers on Sunday, toppling longtime nemesis Canada 2-1 in overtime to win their country’s first Olympic gold in men’s hockey since the famed 1980 “Miracle on Ice.”

Carney can eat some cold crow—rather cold loonie duck.

Well done boys, the US is 2nd in the medal count.

Looks like the 51st state was not up to the task. No gold for them.

There was a time the prospect of that would be amusing due to the absurdity, but now.....

[stanne]

Just great.

His interview after the game winner put all the woke crazy athletes to shame. He stood up and told the world how awesome it was to win for America.

Mixed emotions about this one. Jack Hughes is the most maddening player for New Jersey Devils fans. Spends half his career sitting out with injuries, including a sizable chunk of this NHL season. But he magically recovered just in time to travel to Italy and suit up for Team USA..
