U.S women's Olympic hockey team wins the gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics. I'm not sure if anyone else stayed up into the early morning hours to watch the Women's Olympic Gold Medal game between Canada and the U.S but it was one for the ages. I well remember the Gold Medal game in Sochi Russia, 4 years ago when the women's team U.S.A lost to Team Canada in overtime in a shootout. For the American team, twins sisters Jocelyn and Monique Lamoureux were the hero's of the Gold Medal game. Monique tied the score at 2-2 with 6 minutes left to play in regulation. The game remained scoreless throughout the overtime period.

Quote: Jocelyn Lamoureux got the winning shootout tally for the U.S., while 20-year-old goalie Maddie Rooney denied Canada on its final attempt to seal the victory. The officiating was a little questionable throughout the contest, but the most egregious missed call came in the third period when Poulin crushed USA's Brianna Decker, who was trying to put a loose puck on net, with a big hit in front of the Canadian net. Because Poulin made contact with Decker's head on the play, Team USA coach Robb Stauber wanted a five-minute major served to Poulin, but the play went unpenalized. (Body checking is illegal in women's hockey, but body contact is legal.)

This was an incredible game in which both teams played with heart.

The U.S Women's team lost in a shootout after overtime in Sochi, 4 years ago just as team Canada did this time in PyeongChang, South Korea. The American win was all the more satisfying considering the excellence and dominance of both the Canadian men and women's teams. This Gold Medal game really could have gone either way just as it was 4 years ago in Sochi.

If you are a hockey fan, there was a lot to like about both the men and women's hockey games.

Congratulations to Team U.S.A, Team Canada and Team Finland for a great run and well played series and of course Team U.S.A for their well deserved win. Way to go ladies.
