Crosby's shot slipped through the wickets of American goaltender Ryan Miller, who was so terrific throughout the Olympics that he was named tournament MVP long before the game was decided. Iginla to Crosby for the gold medal? Are you kidding me? "You're going to see a lot of kids growing up now, dreaming they were Sidney Crosby, scoring in overtime...
