Wow. Nothing like some late night Olympic drama. Before you hit the hay, spare a thought for Sweden’s goalkeeper Jacob Markström who stopped 38 of 40 shots this evening but ends up on the losing side and with his medal hopes dashed. Beautiful, cruel sport.
Friday’s men’s Ice Hockey semi-finals are confirmed as Canada vs Finland and USA vs Slovakia.
That’s me done, i’m off for something icy and cold but much less strenuous. Thanks for your company, we’ll be back tomorrow with all the action from day 13. Goodnight!
GOAL! Quinn Hughes wins it for the USA with a humdinger! In off the post from a lovely shimmy and strike. Hughes’ team mates mob him while Sweden are left heartbroken.
A cruel blow for Sweden but that goal deserved to win the match. Hughes is such a slippery customer and he makes it count with the extra ice available to him in overtime, it only took three minutes of overtime but it is USA who go through to the semi finals.
Final score: USA 2-1 Sweden.
