The game followed a familiar script.
Team USA’s victory was set up for a thrilling overtime finish, and they delivered with Jack Hughes’ golden goal.
Matthew Tkachuk praised his teammates, saying they “proudly represent this country” and “would do anything it takes to win.”
Connor Hellebuyck discussed the emotional high of winning gold, saying it’s “bigger than the game of hockey.”
This one felt recognizable early, with Team USA’s slow start giving way to a late push.
