Watch Jocelyne Lamoureux of the USA turn Canadian goalie inside-out on game-winner
PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — The gold-medal game between the USA and Canada in women's hockey on Thursday, won by the USA, was full of extraordinary moments.
The goal that sealed it for the Americans, ending Canada's 20-year-stranglehold on the Olympic gold medal, was perhaps the most extraordinary of them all.
Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson turned Canadian goalie Shannon Szabodos inside out.
In first extra round of the penalty shootout — the teams were even at 2-2 through five — Lamoureux-Davidson came in slowly, like Patrick Kane has done for the Chicago Blackhawks, before deking goalie Szabodos and firing the puck past her.
It was a thing of beauty.
Lamoureux-Davidson said the move is called “Oops, I did it again” and she has practiced it “thousands of times.”
“I butchered it a thousand times,” she said. “Just glad it worked this time.”
U.S. goalie Maddie Rooney stopped Canada’s Meghan Agosta to make the goal stand up, and secure the gold medal for the USA.
It came, by the way, 38 years after the USA's "Miracle on Ice" in Lake Placid, N.Y.
