The US Women’s Hockey Team blew a 2-0 lead with under four minutes to play in the third period and lost to the Canadians 3-2 in overtime. There’s no excuse for that. But Canada was given a power play in the extra frame when Hilary Knight was called for a cross-check on this breakaway. It looked bad at full speed, but you tell me if there was any contact:

Canada scored on the power play. They win gold. But tomorrow…

See you there.
