US Women win GOLD in a shootout!!!
Went into the sudden death, one on one shootouts, crazy!
Stayed up way too late and watched it live (couldn't just shut it off and go to sleep once it went to OT). Daoust's goal was gorgeous, but J Lamoureux's might have been even better. M Lamoureux's tying goal in the third - a breakaway style goal not that different from a penalty/shootout - was also fantastic.
Not only did we prevent Canada from a five-peat in women's hockey, we also bumped off their men's curling team in the semifinal, preventing a four-peat there as well! We still basically have no chance to catch Canada in the standings anymore, given what's left, but that's a satisfying day of triumph over our neighbors to the north.
Overall, the women are definitely carrying the US. Step it up guys! Go get that first ever curling gold.
