The agony of defeat is never more agonizing than when you lose a hockey game in a sudden death shootout. But so it was for Canada in the 2017 world junior hockey championship Thursday as U.S. marksman Troy Terry scored to beat the Maple Leaf squad 5-4 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The Yanks took the gold medal in the process. The game was tied 4-4 through a 20-minute overtime. It stings to recall that Canada lost the lead twice in regular play. They held a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes on goals from Thomas Chabot and Jeremy Lauzon. Charlie McAvoy scored for the U.S. early in the second period and Kieffer Bellows made it 2-2 just before the second intermission. Nicolas Roy regained the lead for Canada less than two minutes into the third and Mathieu Joseph made it 4-2 but, again, Canada could not keep the lead. Bellows scored his second of the night 39 seconds after Joseph and Colin White tied it with nearly 13 minutes to still play in the period. Carter Hart was in net for Canada while Tyler Parsons started for the U.S.
