Third Period Thoughts

Back and forth. Back and forth. Play carried from end to end, odd man rushes, flurries of shots. The final act of the final game of the Olympics had it all. In fact it was so good, they extended it for an encore.

Team USA felt the sands sliding through the hourglass faster and faster in the third period. Each tick of the clock erased time to tie the game up. But with 24 seconds left, Zach Parise knotted the game up and forced the overtime.

The Americans took advantage of the one mistake that had plagued Canadian goalie Roberto Luongo all afternoon. He'd stop drives with the glove, but couldn't control the puck.  The free puck found Parise who gave his team life with less than half a minute to go.

  • 19:35 Zach Parise from Jamie Langenbruner and Patrick Kane
