USA's Terry didn't plan on going 5-hole again: 'I guess it just took over me'

Troy Terry didn't want to go five-hole. He wanted to try something different. But the five-hole possesses powers beyond his control.

The U.S. forward scored the only goal in the shootout Thursday, as the Americans won gold over Canada in Montreal in the world juniors final. The goal of his life came one day after he scored three goals in the shootout - all five-hole - against Russia to send the Americans to the final.

"Yeah, before the shootout, (going five-hole) wasn't my plan," Terry said after the game, according to NHL.com's Sean Farrell. "I actually was thinking about trying something different. And as I came down, I guess it just took over me. I had to try it."

American head coach Bob Motzko called Terry "a little bit of a (shootout) wizard," while captain Luke Kunin said the message to Terry on the bench was simple.

"We just said, 'Do your thing,'" Kunin said.

Smart. Don't mess with success.
