Connor McDavid näytteli jälleen sankaria, kun Kanada voitti USA:n kiekko-ottelussa - lue lisää kisasta ja McDavidin urasta!

Kanadan jääkiekkomaajoukkueen voitto Yhdysvalloista 4 Nations Face-Off -finaalissa oli upea tapahtuma Bostonissa, jossa ottelu päättyi dramatiikkaan. Suomalaisetkin saavat ylpeillä omista jääkiekko-osaajistaan, mutta tällä kertaa kirkkaimmat valot osoittivat Kanadan Connor McDavidille, joka teki voittomaalin yliottelussa. Ottelussa, joka koukutti kaikki fanit penkkiin, McDavid iski sisälle 8:18 yliottelussa, ja voitti ottelun lukemin 3-2, tuoden Kanadalle kultaa.

Ottelu ei ollut pelkästään urheilusuoritus, vaan myös symbolinen hetki jääkiekkohistorian kannalta, sillä se käytiin määrätyssä geopoliittisessa jännityksessä. Yhdysvallat ja Kanada ovat historian saatossa kohdanneet monia kertoja jääkiekkokaukalossa, ja tämä finaali ei ollut poikkeus. Kotiyleisön edessä pelaaminen lisäsi jännitystä, ja ottelusta kehittyi nopeasti tiukka vääntö, jossa jokaisella laukauksella oli merkitystä. McDavidin lisäksi turnauksen parhaaksi pelaajaksi nimettiin Nathan MacKinnon, joka oli turnauksen tehokkain pelaaja ja lisäsi kiihkoa ottelun draamaan.

Jäätävän kylmässä Bostonissa pelattu ottelu ei jättänyt ketään kylmäksi, ja sen olympiamäinen intensiivisyys sai fanit hurraamaan ja asiantuntijat puhumaan. Hetket, jolloin Crosby teki kultamaalin torontoilaiselle, vakiinnutti Kanadan jääkiekko-osaamisen maailmanharvoissa huippujoukkueissa. McDavid näyttää nousevan Crosby-ketjun seuraajaksi, ja fashionista ei ole epäilystä, että voimme odottaa lisää huippusuorituksia tältä nuorelta tähdeltä.

Voitto oli enemmän kuin vain palkinto – se oli resurssiresurssi Kanadalle, joka on jääkiekossa ikimuotoisesti taitava maa. Tässä voitossa on monia mielenkiintoisia lisäyksiä. Esimerkiksi, McDavidin aktiivinen osuus voitossa nosti hänet myös kärkikategoriaan jääkiekkotähtiä, ja häntä pidetään laajalti yhdeksi jääkiekon historian lupaavimmista pelaajista. Ja me tiedämme, että Kanadan jääkiekkokulttuurissa jokainen voitto on niinsanottu juhlaleipomo jäykälle pelille – tai siis jääjuhlaleipomo!
