The winning goal came after Canadian goalkeeper Marc-Andre Fleury deflected the puck, which bounced off Canadian defenceman Braydon Coburn and into the net.
Canada had been up 3-1 after two periods, but the U.S. scored three unanswered goals in the third.
The win is the first gold for the U.S. at the world juniors and the third straight silver for Canada.
Nigel Dawes scored twice for Canada, while Anthony Stewart had one goal.

Patrick O'Sullivan netted two for the U.S., while teammates Dan Fritshe and Ryan Kesler added one goal each.
Canada's last gold medal was in 1997 when they defeated the U.S. 2-0 in Geneva.
Earlier in the day, Finland won the bronze medal with a 2-1 win over the Czech Republic.

Whatever we still have world gold. And it was a good tournament.
The thing most people dont realize is that the american juniors, alot of them are actually children of Canadian ex-NHL players.
We still own it. Its only kids.
Uh, why does the thread need to be deleted?
Because he cant stand it when Americans beat Canadians in hockey.
it's not our fault we are awesome.
If canada is so great in hockey, how come you have lost 2 of the teams from bigger cities (Winnipeg/Quebec) and why does america have such a bigger audiance compared to canada. Wait wait, and why do we have so many damn teams in the US? We are every bit as good at hockey as you are. Deal with it.
Hahaha we still own you guys. Check the records though we still have won more gold in hockey then in anything else.
Stop livin in the past.

wow, excuses and more excuses. I was a wrestler in high school and i never made excuses or feel sorry for myself when i lost a match. Instead i work harder next time to kick the other guy ass.
You all heard what they say about people who are making excuses
no ****s?
The fact is that the U.S. has more money and a bigger population. And i know for a fact there is a bigger viewing audience in Canada than in the states for hockey. If you break it down like this, the U.S., Swedes, Finns, Czechz, Russians and to a lesser extent the Slovaks, can all create one team full of all star players, while at the same time canada can create 3.
Im not annoyed that the americans won the gold. In fact i think its good. Not as good as if Canada won though

And watching hockey produces future potential pro hockey players?
No it doesnt. The majority of americans that watch hockey arent people looking to play. You ever been to an NHL game in the states? Ill tell you what, the majority of the fans dont know squat about hockey and are about 60lbs overweight a piece. The only places in the states where hockey is any good is Minnessota, Montana, and to a lesser extent Vermont and Massachusettes.And watching hockey produces future potential pro hockey players?
