BEST Hockey game I have EVER watched

I thought that the game played between the USA and Canada at the World Junior Hockey Championship on New Year's Eve had been one of the most exciting games I had ever watched.
HOWEVER, I thought I watched yesterday the BEST and MOST EXCITING game of Hockey EVER in my life in the semi-final match between Russia and Canada:

This has been the MOST EXCITING game either at the NHL professional, Senior World Championship or any other Junior Championship that I have ever seen.
Canada scored four goals, each time to be matched by an excellent effort and goal by the Russians. And then Russia scored the fifth during the final minutes of the match ... Everything was lost to Canada.
And then ... Eberle TIED the game for Canada with 5.4 seconds remaining in the game!
Overtime !!! No score, notwithstanding excellent chances at both ends. Either team could have and would have deserved the win. The Russians brought the BEST team I had seen in a LONG time. It ended up scoreless.
Shoot out !!!
Canada scored twice by the next generation of stars: Tavares and Eberle.
Russia did not score. My goodness !!! If I ever felt bad for a losing opposing team, this time was it !!! Those Russian kids deserved the silver or even the gold medal.
What a game! What a game! What a GAME !
I am still excited and it is the next day. I do not feel that the final game against Sweden will ever match the intensity and quality of this game.
I am exhausted still from the emotion. I had forgotten how it feels to win ever since Jack Kent Cooke left the Redskins as its owner.
