It doesn't take a hockey expert to recognize that the end of the Olympic women's hockey finals was extraordinary: Four shots into the post-OT shootout, Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson juked Canadian goalie Shannon Szabados right off her skates, and then U.S. goalie Maddie Rooney blocked the shot that would allow her to take home the gold medal.
It was an electrifying win, made all the more so by what the team overcame to get there: not just heartbreak in Sochi (where the U.S. women lost 3-2 to Canada in overtime), but a prolonged battle with U.S. Hockey over fair compensation that only ended when the players threatened to boycott the world championship.
