The US squad has been trying their hardest to tie this one up but the great team defense and stellar netminding of Blue have stoned them cold. The team breaks into Germany’s zone. Williams moves to Manius, Manius to Mauldin. Mauldin back to Manius who snaps one on net!
It misses high and bounces off the boards. Mauldin retrieves, played against the boards by Sawchuk. A scrum ensues, Williams skates in to help. He grabs the puck dekes past a defender to cut in on net. Shoots low!
IT'S IN! TRICKLED UNDER THE PAD AND ROLLED INTO THE NET. WILLIAMS HAS SCORED TO TIE THE GAME WITH UNDER TEN LEFT TO GO. THE US BENCH GOES WILD AND THE AMERICANS IN THE CROWD ARE HYPED UP RIGHT NOW.
2. USA , Nicholas Williams 3 (Chuck Crutchfield 2, Slip McScruff 1) at 10:59
Time is winding down, less than three minutes left in regulation. McZehrl has the puck, he dumps it in around the boards. The US players can’t get to it and Darrow picks it up. Long shot on net. Kicked away by Cain. Pepperoni picks it up and shoots while Cain is down!
The buzzer sounds and this game got even more interesting. A late game-tying goal by Williams knots it at 1 a side. Shots that period were 14 for Germany and 12 for the US.
We head into overtime of an incredible match. It is 1-1, next goal wins. Cain has saved 40 of 41 shots so far. Blue has saved 31 of 32. One of these goalies will exit the match with 1 goal against. One with two. Let’s find out who it will be.
