This was best possible way to end the Olympics for Canada.<\/p>\n

Sidney Crosby, shut down most of the tournament, wristed a shot past Ryan Miller 7:40 into overtime after the United States tied it with 24.4 seconds left in regulation, and Canada survived a tense, taut game to beat the Americans 3-2 in the men\u2019s hockey final Sunday. It capped Canada\u2019s record gold rush in the Vancouver Games and set off a national celebration.<\/p>\n

In one of the greatest games in Olympic history, Canada\u2019s collection of all-stars held off a young, desperate U.S. team that had beaten it the previous Sunday and, after staging a furious comeback after falling behind 2-0, almost beat them again.<\/p>\n

With Canada less than a minute away from celebrating the gold medal that its hockey-crazed nation expected, Zach Parise \u2014 the son of a player who figured in Canada\u2019s finest hockey moment \u2014 tied it with Miller off the ice for an extra attacker.<\/p>\n

The moment he scored, the sighs of disappointed fans probably could be heard from Vancouver to the Maritimes. <\/span>Crosby, scoreless the previous two games, brought back the cheers with his second post-regulation game-winner of the tournament by scoring from the left circle. He also beat Switzerland in a shootout during the round robin.<\/p>\n
