Sunday

It was the fastest hockey game I’ve ever seen,
in the first period it was faster than any NHL game I’ve watched before.

Both teams were evenly matched, but the US goalie was phenomenal today.
In the second period the Canadians were out-shooting the Americans 2 to 1.

The Canadian goalie was excellent too, but on any given day “phenomenal” beats “excellent”
and that was the difference.
