Until late in the contest, it appeared that a second-period goal from O'Neill might be enough to lift the Canadians to gold. O'Neill, playing in her first Olympics, scored her third goal of the tournament less than a minute into the second period, while the U.S. was on a power play. But U.S. star Hilary Knight scored late in the third period to send the game to overtime, and Megan Keller scored the gold-medal-winning goal less than five minutes into the extra period.
"That was one of the most frustrating things, especially [doing] things you're excited for - the outdoor [Stadium Series] game and the Olympics, especially mid-season," Zacha said. "So to make the decision of not going was really hard. Especially, even watching the games, now - it's hard to watch a little bit [now] that I can't be there and experience it. So it wasn't the easiest."
Only the women's event remains, and the U.S. squad, also known as the Blade Angels, is the strongest in decades. Going in, I thought they might snap Team USA's 20-year medal drought in women's figure skating by leaving the 2026 Games with two of the three medals. After the short program, however, two angels have fallen, and only one American, reigning World Champion Alysa Liu, remains in the hunt for gold.
On my first day in Milan for the 2026 Winter Olympics, I wandered to the heart of the city to admire the stunning marble facades of the Duomo and window-shop through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. The Piazza del Duomo was filled with Olympic spectators decked out in their countries' colors, and on one end, a long line snaked outside the official Milano Cortina 2026 Megastore, with hundreds of customers waiting to buy some of the event merch.
For the first time since 2014, NHL players from the United States will be competing at the Olympic Games. Team USA's opening matchup of the 2026 Milan Cortina Games is against Latvia, a team that features several current and former NHL players as well. The U.S. is led by arguably the strongest collection of talent to ever represent the country in international best-on-best competition, including a 1-2 punch of Auston Matthews and Jack Eichel at center, do-everything defensemen like Quinn Hughes,
