No games in the NHL matter today because last night Sweden's juniors pulled off a heroic feat, beating defending champions, Russia, 1-0 in a dramatic OT game!
We have waited 31 years for this and now we are finally world champions again. Mika Zibanejad scored with less than 10 minutes left in OT to give Sweden gold.
Russian goalie, Andrei Makarov, was stunning, making an incredible 57 saves. Ultimately, it wasn't enough. Sweden outshot the Russians 58-17 and one goal was enough to win it.
Congratulations to the players and coach Roger Rönnberg!
