The victory gives the Americans only their second Gold medal in tournament history and snaps Canada's streak of five straight Gold medals.

"They're a feisty team, they're a great team and it was unbelievable playing them on New Year's Eve and now here it was just play our game," Carlson told TSN. "We know they're going to get chances and score goals, that's how good they are. We just needed to play our game and tonight it worked out."

It appeared as though all the momentum was on the Canadian's side after Jordan Eberle, who was named tournament MVP, scored twice with less than three minutes remaining in regulation to force the extra frame.  Just over four minutes into overtime Carlson beat Martin Jones for his second of the game setting off wild celebrations by the Americans.

"We battled back the hole game but they just kept coming," Eberle told TSN following the game. "It's not easy. We showed the heart that we had to come back. It's just tough to lose on home ice like this."www1.tvboxnow.com5 h' Q+ L0 @  f0 u' T

For those who were part of last year's Gold medal winning team in Ottawa, the loss was especially hard.

"We got so close and it didn't happen for us," said returning defenceman Ryan Ellis.  "But everyone's sticking together. We're a close team and we've got our heads up high., g0 |5 v* p9 U) V0 M; g9 }

"It's tough, especially coming back the way we did. We shot ourselves in the foot a bit."

If a classic encounter on New Year's Eve between the two sides could be considered the appetizer, than this title bout was a full five course meal.

A packed house at the First Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon was treated to a wide open encounter that saw both starting netminders get pulled as the tournament's two top teams battled tooth-and-nail for Junior hockey supremacy.

Luke Adam got Team Canada on the board early in the first period by shoveling a backhand past Mike Lee for his fourth goal of the tournament on a great feed from Jordan Caron.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。3 Q! S% j: ~. v% {0 l$ s; ?5 s

Team USA then rallied as Chris Kreider beat Jake Allen high stick side to pull the Americans even.  Just 36 seconds later Jordan Schroeder gave the Stars and Stripes their first lead by beating Allen for his third of the tournament.

Canada responded immediately when Nazem Kadri found Greg Nemisz who found the back of the net for the first time in the tournament to square things up at two apiece.2 i9 F/ [- d, m& h" k7 |

The ongoing Canadian theme of undisciplined play continued when defenceman Alex Pietrangelo drilled Jeremy Morin from behind, picking up a 10-minute misconduct as the opening frame drew to a close.www1.tvboxnow.com; v2 ~* J$ m' L' M* D( O$ F

It was a big loss for Canada who were playing the game without their top shutdown defender in Travis Hamonic who suffered a separated shoulder in the dying moments of the semifinal game against Switzerland.

Tied at three Brandon Kozun had a great opportunity to give the Canadians an early third period lead when his shot beat Campbell but not the crossbar to keep things even.

Canada were once again offered an excellent chance to take control when Philip McCrae was penalized for delay of game after flipping the puck over the glass, however the Americans repeatedly killed off scoring chances thanks to stellar netminding by Campbell.

The goal chased Allen from the Canadian net.  He was replaced by Martin Jones.公仔箱論壇/ F1 F% w# g  G9 M" t1 U, M

That decision by Canadian head coach Willie Desjardins was all the inspiration that Canada would need as Eberle then put the team on his shoulders.

If the Edmonton Oilers' prospect built his reputation for being a clutch performer during last year's Gold medal game, he further cemented his position with a pair of goals late in regulation to help Canada rally from two goals down and force overtime.

With just under three minutes remaining Eberle took a feed from Pietrangelo and fired his seventh of the tournament past Campbell to pull the Canadians within one.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* w& y( x6 ]9 ^
Not satisfied there, just over a minute later Eberle pounded home his second of the period and forcing overtime for the second consecutive year in the Gold medal game.0 F: v- S/ Y" R. |/ {

The was Eberle's 14th goal all-time in the tournament, surpassing John Tavares for the Canadian lead.

While the momentum was on the side of the Canadians, Team USA refused to wilt.  Carlson broke in on a three on two and fired home his fourth goal of the tournament to secure the first medal of any colour by the Americans since 2007 and only their second Gold to go along with their victory over Canada in 2004.

Carlson told TSN's Ryan Rishaug that he had given his team a pep talk prior to overtime.

"I said 'If you guys were to tell me at the beginning of the tournament that we'd be here right now going into overtime right now for the gold medal, anyone in the locker-room would have taken it,' Carlson said. "So I think the camaraderie really helped and we really pulled together there and squeaked out a win."

The Americans will now have the chance to defend their title on home ice as the tournament shifts to Buffalo next year.

With the loss, Canada falls to 27-6-3 all-time versus the U.S. in the tournament
