Team Europe was close…I mean very close to making a final series of it and taking Game 2 from Team Canada and forcing a decisive Game 3 for the World Cup of Hockey Championship. Alas Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand had other plans as the two Canadians scored with just under three minutes to go and again with only 54 seconds left. It was an exciting ending to what was an exciting three weeks of hockey.
The look on the faces of the members of Team Europe was disappointment and a close-up of European goaltender Jaroslav Halak after the final horn showed you all the emotion you needed to know.
