For the second straight Winter Olympics gold medal game, extra time was needed to settle the latest battle between the two rivals, but this time it went to a shootout.
The United States could be blamed if they were suffering another case of deja vu. They were tied 2-2 with Canada on a four-on-three power play in overtime.
But this time, they were able to hold Canada at bay and fight back and finally get back on the top step of the podium for the first time in 20 years. Jocelyne Lamoureux scored the winning goal in the shootout after her sister Monique Lamoureux tied the game with 6:21 remaining in regulation.
