Canadian hockey..the best type... Canadian pride...at its highest.. Tonight the Canadian mens olympic hockey team came through for they're country... after many insults and much disrespect from the media, other coaches, and players, the boys came through and gave all canadians something to smile about. Out of all olympic games i feel, especially in canada, that hockey is looked upon as one of the most popular,most watched and most exciting aspects of the winter olympics. There was so much controversy this year about the way we played. Our flag being on the floor of the american womens team dressing room, the american mens coach saying canadians played stupid hockey...THE RESPECT IS BACK.. gold in both womens and mens hockey is an honour and its awesome but the pride of proving so many people wrong, the feeling of overcoming the opinions of others, and the sheer excitement must feel so good the the boys in the red and white right now. the first goal scored by Kariya, then a sigh of relief as Iginla sends the second goal soaring in.. but wait...the americans score..this will be a hockey game afterall.second period. another goal by USA, its all tied up. Then sakic comes in and shows his stuff and breaks the tie as canadians stand up all over the country and scream he shoots..HE SCORES!!!!Third period, Iginla with the insurance goal 4-2, my heart swells with pride... then as if that isnt enough Sakic comes in again and scores the final goal 5-2, the closure sets in, canada has it for sure... Yzermans penalty in the final period sends a nervous hush in my living room. But its all good the buzzer goes off and white jerseys swarm the ice, arms raised. Amazing game, amazing players, amazing country...CONGRADULATIONS TO THE CANADIAN MENS TEAM.. i couldnt have seen a better game!!!!
