Well, IIHF, you’ve struck again, robbing the hockey world of a proper ending to a tournament hockey game. But I digress, and Team Sweden and New York Rangers’ Oscar Lindberg and Henrik Lundqvist are able to take home gold medals after defeating Team Canada in a shootout.
Henrik was his usual self, stopping 42(!) shots and all of Canada’s shootout attempts to lead the team to victory. Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman scored in regulation for Sweden on a leaky backhander that found its way through the legs of Colorado’s Calvin Pickard.
