Shootout specialist comes up big in key group match against host nation

T.J. Oshie added his name to the list of American Olympic heroes with a nerveless shootout performance that lifted the United States men's ice hockey team to a heart-stopping 3-2 win over Russia at the Sochi Winter Games on Saturday.

In a heavyweight clash that evoked memories of the 1980 Olympics 'Miracle on Ice', when a group of American college players upset the former-Soviet Union's 'Big Red Machine', Oshie delivered the knockout punch scoring on four of his six attempts, including the winner, in an epic shootout to deny Russia its Lake Placid revenge.
