Both teams played amazingly well, it could have easily gone either way... and that's the way games like that should be. Have to admit that I felt pretty bad for Miller after the euphoria of the moment passed, I never played goal but it's gotta feel pretty bad to be the guy that let in the goal that lost the gold

But it's always the goalie who lets in the losing goal. Miller was the Olympic MVP, gained HUGE big game experience, and has a whole new respect in North America and around the world....Once the sting wears off, he will be better off for the experience.

Oh no doubt, he was amazing throughout the entire tournament! I just meant I felt for the pain he must have been feeling at that moment. It's not like he pulled a Tommy Salo or anything.
