With the game tied at 1 and just 50.6 seconds left in overtime, Müller and Ivana Wey drove toward the Swedish net, and Wey hit Müller on the doorstep.

And then, it all went dark.

“I know I was tired. I know the legs were heavy,” said Müller, who was on the ice for the majority of the extra frame. “[Wey] made an unbelievable pass, and I just got rid of it as fast as I can.

“And then, yeah, I blacked out. And then seeing all my friends coming at me, jumping, tears in their eyes, that’s a feeling you can not repeat.”

Just 27 and already a four-time Olympian, Müller, an assistant captain with the PWHL’s first-place Boston Fleet, set Swiss records these Olympics in goals (16) and assists (13) and is now fourth all-time in career Olympic women’s hockey goals.

How does she manage to keep showing up in the big moments?

“She just likes to shoot [in] the important games for our national team,” said Swiss goaltender Andrea Brändli, who remembers watching Müller’s 2014 winner on TV.

The women’s game has come a long way in Switzerland (and around the world) since 2014, and a lot of that change is because of Müller.

“She’s a trailblazer in our country,” Brändli said. “She’s the face of women’s hockey since she scored that goal in 2014, and ever since she carried that pressure with so much grace, so much power.”

Brändli said Müller is the “best player in the country” and said her clutch performance Thursday proves she deserves that title.

“She doesn’t fall under pressure too, because she has a lot [of pressure], and that’s just incredible from her side,” the goalie said.

In 2014, winning bronze was about showing the world that Switzerland can compete with the big names in hockey and that women’s hockey was worth investing in, Müller said.

This year, they no longer have anything to prove.

“Every year it’s getting it’s getting more exciting, getting more physical, more athletic, faster game, and then the stadiums are filling up,” she said. “Just a few years ago, there would have been 100 people in the stands, and it’s crazy to see.”
