What an unbelievable game for New Year's Eve!! Canada was trailing 4-2 in the beginning of the 3rd period then we scored 2 goals tying it to 4-4. The game ended up in a shootout with Canada winning 5-4 against the USA. This was BY FAR one of the best hockey games I have seen in a long time!

GO CANADA GO!!!
