USA Women's Hockey Miss Winning By Inches, Go Into Overtime In Gold Medal Match

If the United States women's hockey team is going to win gold in Sochi they will have to do it in overtime.

It looked like Team USA was cruising to a gold medal, leading Canada 2-0 late in the third period. But Canada tied it up with two goals in the final four minutes.

Even after Canada scored its first goal, Team USA nearly clinched the gold with a long empty net shot that hit the post and did not go in. This is how close the Americans came to winning gold.

To add insult to the painful blown lead, Team USA actually had to walk past the medal presentation committee on their way back to the locker room. It was a painful reminder of just how close they were.
