USA Wins WJC Gold in an Instant Classic

There's probably nothing sweeter for an American national hockey team than winning a championship in Canada.

Especially when it's over Canada.

In fact, it'd only happened once in the World Junior Championships, which was a 6-5 overtime thriller in Saskatoon.

Once, that is, until now, in Montréal:

This triumph capped an unbeaten run through the entire event, which included a déjà vu of sorts in bracket play:

Group B pool play ...	USA 3 Russia 2
Group B pool play ...	USA 3 Canada 1
Semifinals ...	USA 4 Russia 3 so
Championship ...	USA 5 Canada 4 so

Looks like the Americans had the dream world covered, too.
