Team USA pulled off the upset win over Canada in the men’s hockey final at the Milan Cortina Olympics, and perhaps none was more bitter about the loss than Canadian star Nathan MacKinnon.
MacKinnon will likely look back at this year’s Winter Games with a pang of regret, having missed a wide-open net in the third period of Sunday’s gold medal game against the Americans. It was one of Canada’s many missed opportunities that the team simply failed to convert, and Team USA ended up scoring the golden goal in overtime to take home their biggest win since their 1980 “Miracle on Ice” stunner.
