GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Dani Cameranesi watched on TV when the Americans blew a 2-0 lead with less than a minute left before losing the gold medal game to Canada four years ago at the Sochi Olympics.
She uses the word "devastating" to sum up the 3-2 overtime loss .
Now the Americans are back with another chance at the Olympic gold that has eluded them since they won it all in 1998, when women's hockey made its debut at Nagano.
And their archrival is in the way again. The showdown with Canada is Thursday and the Americans know exactly what this moment means.
