Gold Canada!
Feb. 28th, 2010 08:15 pmPretty fucking excited right now!!!! Canada's men's hockey team won GOLD. The winning goal in sudden death overtime shot home by a 22 year old man from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia which is part of the Halifax region.!!! Was at my sister's having a birthday dinner with my nephew who's bd was Friday. 24 seconds left in the game the US team tied it up! AAAAGGHH! Overtime, local boy brings it home not far into it! I think the whole city screamed in unison. Cole Harbour certainly did and as we were driving home, there were a couple of people at a major cross roads by the "Cole Harbour, Home of Sidney Crosby" sign waving the flag. Everyone going by was sounding their horn and hollering out the windows. I don't follow hockey like i did years ago but i wouldn't have missed this game for anything and it was even better watching it with a room full of people, most of whom are also not regular hockey fans but you just gotta see it and experience it! We all screamed ... then i wondered... is it sudden death or do we have to play the whole 20 minutes? Because i got that impression but no, sudden death, one goal and it's over! I screamed again and burst into tears! :))))
Women's and Men's gold for "our" sport and with this gold medal, we have now broken the Olympic record for gold medals won in a Winter Olympics. Not only just our record, but THE record which was 13 held by both the US and Norway.
It feels good!
