Brad Marchand justified his selection long ago, but how's one more contribution for good measure?
Collecting the puck on a brilliant drop pass from Jonathan Toews, Canada's go-to scoring winger reached back and whipped the decisive goal at the World Cup of Hockey past Jaroslav Halak with 43 seconds left, spoiling a valiant performance from Team Europe.
Marchand's fifth goal and eighth point of the tournament capped a stunning comeback for Canada, which won its 16th consecutive game at best-on-best, and third consecutive major title.
