Winning Ugly

They played a lousy third period and looked tired in the first few minutes of overtime, but with a couple of ugly goals in the first and after watching Sweden tie the game with just 38 seconds left in the third, Shawn Matthias drove hard to the net in OT and Halischuk kept his stick on the ice to bury the winner. It was a gritty workmanlike goal, the type that every Canadian hockey player can be proud of.

So it's four straight golds for Canada and they'll get to defend again on home ice in Ottawa next year! Congrats to the boys and props to the Swedes for playing so hard and making it such an exciting finish.
