A Shift-By-Shift Breakdown Of The Gold Medal Game

Scott Reynolds, a writer over at SB Nation’s Edmonton Oilers site, The Copper & Blue, has a breathtaking analysis of Sunday’s 3-2 Canadian victory. Aside from a lot of pro-Canadian (Edmonton, remember) sentiments, the amazing detail comes from a shift-by-shift breakdown of the entire game for the Canadian side.

Here’s some of that detail:
