No miracle needed. The United States is on top of the hockey world for the first time in nearly a half-century.

Jack Hughes scored in overtime and the United States defeated Canada 2–1 in the gold medal final at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Sunday to earn the nation’s third men’s title at the Games and its first since the “Miracle on Ice” in 1980—46 years to the day of the upset over the Soviet Union, too.

Unlike that ragtag group of college kids that pulled off one of the biggest shockers in sports history, the Americans in Milan were a machine that rode goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and a stacked roster full of NHL players through the tournament unbeaten.
