  "textContent": "In the third period of Sunday's USA-Canada gold medal men's hockey game, the American forward Jack Hughes spit blood after he took a high stick to the mouth from Sam Bennett. The ensuing four-minute penalty didn't lead to a U.S. goal to break the 1-1 deadlock, but less than two minutes into three-on-three overtime, Hughes earned his place in the history books with a golden goal that delivered his country its first Olympic men's hockey triumph since the 1980 Miracle on Ice.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxI7uJp3TQM\n\nTaking notes on this game was like trying to read a book in the middle of a nightclub. This hotly anticipated rematch of the 4 Nations final was high-stakes hockey that forced you to shake and scream and feel your heart pound with every change of possession. It rocked so hard that I can't even summon the strength to be upset about an undeserved Canada loss. The Hughes OT winner just evens them out after Sidney Crosby's extra-time heroics back in 2010, anyway.",
