Canada wins!!!! Canada caps off the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games with a dramatic 3-2 overtime win over USA in men's hockey. The hockey gold isn't the "only gold that matters" as some put it, but it is probably the most important to Canadians. Sidney Crosby, who didn't do much in the last two games or for most of this game for that matter, scores the OT winner, giving Canada its record-breaking 14th gold medal. As a Canadian, of course I'm happy with the result. Have to give props to the American team though, coming back from 2-0 down to tie the game with 20-something second left to go in the third period. That was a great hockey game.
Overall, Canada has done pretty well in these Olympics games. Canada didn't quite "own the podium" as the Americans and Germans have more medals, but with 14 gold medals, Canada is on top of the gold medal standings and has broken the record for golds by a single country in Winter Olympics. Great job, Canada! Despite the shaky start to the games with the protests and the unfortunate death of the Georgian luger, and also the persistent weather problems (who would have thought that Canada wasn't cold enough...), it's been a good Olympics games. Time to watch the closing ceremonies.
