A classic USA vs. Canada gold-medal game was bound to be entertaining. But hockey fans from both countries probably didn't anticipate being so stressed out over a junior hockey game.

And as if the final period wasn't heart-stopping enough, the game eventually went to overtime followed by a five-shooter shootout. The subject quickly changed to anger over the shootout format as even Stanley Cup champion Mike Commodore didn't like the idea.
I repeat..."I hate when games like this go to a Shootout. Should be Sudden Death even if it takes allllllll night."

While the USA's eventual win stung for a moment, many Canadians started tweeting their congratulations to both Canada on their silver medal and the USA on their win.
Amazing game boys. #WJC2017

Even Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield got in on the action.
