Team USA won its first men’s hockey gold medal at the Winter Olympic Games in 46 years on Sunday when Jack Hughes slotted home the game-winner in overtime.
It was a cinematic moment for the United States of America, which, 16 years earlier, lost to Canada in overtime in the Vancouver Games behind the magic of Sidney Crosby.
Canada controlled a majority of the game beginning in the second period, and the Americans held on long enough behind goalie Connor Hellebuyck to push the game to the extra period, where they snatched the victory.
While some would call it a hard-fought victory and perseverance, others are claiming other possible reasons for the Americans winning the gold medal.
One Canadian sports writer believes that something mystical might be the key to why Team USA won to close out the Olympics.
