and did you see how many red were in the stands during the game? what do you think would happen if canada lost? Chaos. If USA were to win that game, an ugly side of Canada would be broadcasted all over the world.
Canada wouldn't let that happen. Losing "their" game at their own country infront of the whole world is just too embarassing.
Winning gold for men's hockey was an inside job   |

Guys, I think we found our sacrificial lamb. Perfect, as he fits the criteria!

My dad was bashing the SHIT out of Kesler today during the game for his "I hate Canada" remarks. I wish I could be at the first Canucks home game when Lu first steps on the ice. Well done Luongo. Posted via RS Mobile |

but think about it, you don't think they'll be doing the same if they won
there is plenty of respect, they played a great game, but since we won, we have the right to poke fun at them

The crowd at the pub I was at more than three minutes after Crosby's goal:

Yeah, it's only Langley, but the atmosphere in there was absolutely electric. I was talking with my best friend who's living in Lyon, France right now. She was at a pub and apparently it was just as crazy over there after we won. Nice to know that us kicking ass can bring joy to countries other than Canada. |

I saw a couple of Americans walking around Robson looking all sad. I gave them a pat on the back and told them not to be down. It was an amazing game.
The Americans had nothing to hang their heads about with the gold medal game. The whole thing was fucking heroic.

Now, here's something to ponder on for the next while. How do you think Canada (and the USA) will fare in the Olympic hockey games if professional NHL players aren't allowed back in? There's quite a bit of talk about it, apparently.
I suppose it might help create a more even playing field, but I have a feeling that it'll greatly reduce Canada and USA's chances at being medal contendors for some time.
