Canada is golden!

[Cycleguy007]

It's a great day to be a Canadian!

No country has ever won more that 13 golds in a winter Olympics... Until now!

14!!!!

And on home turf to boot!

How fitting is it that the final gold medal comes from the sport of HOCKEY?!

Sid the Kid Does It Again! Clearly the torch is now passed from Wayne and Mario to the new Canadian Golden Boy!

Any chance of a hockey riot to celebrate the gold in Montreal?

 

[HOF]

Geez, CG, did you have that already prepared?

At 22, the KID certainly has proven himself on the ice.

Canada set a record with 14 gold medals!

Congrats Canada on the win and thank you for hosting the GAMES.

Great game.

I'll never understand why teams take the foot off the gas in such situations and try to defend a lead for such a crazy amount of time as 15 minutes in a hockey game! Still, they pulled it out of the fire. Great victory.

It was a great game and both teams are responsible for that.It's a rivalry, BUT it's a friendly rivalry and because of that we saw some awesome hockey today.This was a good positive moment in our history.Cheers

Ummmm.....

Yes... I did.

I had to delay posting it by a few minutes though!

Fuck man... I've got tears of joy right now...

Joannie Rochette will carry the flag at the closing ceremonies. Although not a gold medallist, she displayed courage under extreme adversity and tastes a bitter sweet pleasure honouring our country and her mother. She is certainly a champion in my books. God bless her!

Joannie also received the Terry Fox award.

Did someone mention Joy???


...

Just as an important aside the Americans played one hell of a game. Both teams where very evenly matched.

 

[nova5]

Fantastic game!

 

[The Oracle]

Man you should have seen the letdown at the bar I was at when the U.S. scored too tie it up.

 

[papasmerf]

Fantastic game!

Was a good game

Did anyone else notice the very prominent LIVESTRONG wrist band on Mike Babcock?

here's a first pic of the medal where it belongs...

Why would you say that. They were dejected, sad because they lost, but they didn't behave badly.

I think in the future they will look back and say, "I won a Silver Medal at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver" No small achievement. The Americans played a very hard and competative game and frankly, we got lucky.

Hockey has come a long way in the USA in the last 25 years. The Americans used to be a joke. Not anymore. With a huge population compared to us it only makes sense that with time they will improve even that much more.
