WJHC: US stuns Canada to win gold
(Click link for complete article)
Canadian Press
1/5/2004
HELSINKI (CP) - A freak goal credited to Patrick O'Sullivan of the OHL's Mississauga IceDogs with 5:12 remaining capped a U.S. comeback in a 4-3 win over Canada in the final of the world junior hockey championships Monday.
Canadian goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury attempted to clear the puck but it bounced off defenceman Braydon Coburn and into the net despite a wild lunge from Fleury.
It was O'Sullivan's second goal of the period as the Americans scored three unanswered goals in the final 20 minutes to stun the Canadians.
American Zach Parise, a New Jersey Devils first-round draft pick, was named MVP of the tournament.
The 2005 world junior hockey championship will be held in Grand Forks, N.D., and the U.S. will go in as the defending champion. |

Woohoo! Go US-eh! ;) The GWG may have been a fluke, but overcoming a 2-goal deficit to make that fluke goal the GW'er was not. And when there is a tie that late in the game, any kind of mistake could turn into the GW'er, as it did.

DNA tests confirm mad cow Holstein came from Canada
WASHINGTON—Genetic testing confirms that the cow diagnosed with the first U.S. case of mad cow disease was born in Canada, agriculture officials said Tuesday. The finding puts new emphasis above the border in the investigation of the North American outbreak of the brain-wasting disease. The Holstein, slaughtered in Washington state on Dec. 9, is the second cow born in western Canada diagnosed with mad cow disease since May. The test results mean investigators will intensify their search for the source of infection, most likely from contaminated feed, in Alberta, where the Holstein was born in 1997.
