USA falls to Canada in overtime

Being called one of the greatest games in Olympic history, Canada's collection of all-starts held off hte United States who had beaten them the previous Sunday. An intense comeback after falling behind 2-0 on goals by Jonathan Toews and Corey Perry, the US almost had the Canadians beat once again.

Unfortunately, Sidney Crosby shut down most of the tournament. After the United States tied it with 24.4 seconds left in regulation, Crosby wristed a shot past Ryan Miller in 7:40 into overtime. Canada beat the United States 3-2 for the gold in the men's hockey final Sunday.

Jonathan Toews has played in seven Olympic games for the Canadians with eight goals and wasn't on the ice for a single opponent's goal. Olympic MVP Ryan Miller was 5-1 with 131 saves on 139 shots overall and stopped 36 Sunday.

Only two teams have won a men's hockey gold medal on home soil. The U.S. in Squaw Valley in 1960, and in Lake Placid in 1980. Canada makes three in Vancouver in 2010.
