World Cup of Hockey Wrap Up

I know this is a little late but team Canada has won the World Cup of Hockey. Sorry I should have said CANADA HAS WON THE WORLD CUP OF HOCKEY 2016. I've got to admit that final game was pretty epic especially the ending. Believe it or not team Europe got the first goal 4 and a half minutes in when Zdeno Chara got a pass and fired it in from the middle of the left circle. That goal was the only goal until late in the third period Patrice Bergeron tied it late with 2:53 left to go on a deflection from Brent Burn's one timer slap shot. Before that Canada was doing so well, but couldn't put anything behind Jarslov Halak who was standing on his head (playing well). I honestly fet something coming from Canada so I wasn't too surprised. Then with 43 seconds to go Brad Marchand gave Canada the late lead when Jonathan skated it the zone with the puck and turned around to pass it to Machand who was wide open in the slot and he fired it home. Both teams played it out till the end and that was it. Sidney Crosby got the MVP for Canada and everyone got the hoist the flower vase... I mean the World Cup of Hockey Trophy. As for team Europe they should be blessed for even making it to the finals and this shouldn't have come in as too much of a shock even though they had the lead the whole game. Was it Halak's fault at the end? Should Crosby have gotten MVP? Will anyone ever beat Canada? stay tuned....
