I could into representing my
country as well as I could
and help the team win. I may
have got the MVP, but I’m
heartbroken. It’s very difficult
right now.”
The Americans overcame
two two-goal deficits to force
overtime.
“It was such an up-and-
down game,” Terry said. “We
were down two goals twice. I
think when we were down 2-0
and came back to tie it we got
some confidence because it
sucked to go down two goals
right away. But, we knew as
a team that no matter how we
played, we had the confidence

“It was a great atmosphere

“It gave me chills. It’s unbe-

MONTREAL — Troy
Terry scored the lone shootout
goal, Tyler Parsons stopped
all five shots he faced in the
tiebreaker and the United
States outlasted Canada 5-4
on Thursday night to win the
world junior hockey title.
The game was decided in
the five-round shootout after
a 20-minute overtime period.
On Wednesday in the
semifinals, Terry scored on all
three of his shootout attempts
to give the United States a 4-3
victory over Russia. He beat
the goalie between the legs on
all four attempts.
“Before the shootout, I
was thinking about trying
something different (than
shooting between the legs),”
Terry said. “As I came down,
I decided I just had to try to go
five-hole.”

The teams met for the

Americans also winning in
