I don’t think there’s much more to add after watching the men’s gold medal hockey final. It was simply one of the greatest sporting events ever and while the U.S. fell in overtime, it could be a seminal moment in the history of the sport.
The victory by Canada was a culmination of a tremendous two plus weeks of Olympic action. It was also simply put, a great hockey game and considering that it could be seen live all over the world may have more impact the any previous game in the sport.
Sidney Crosby was already a Canadian superstar, but he’s now reached icon status thanks to his overtime goal. Much as Americans who are old enough remember where they were thirty years ago and the name Mike Eruzione from the Miracle on Ice team of 1980, Canadians will always remember where they were today and the name of Sidney Crosby. It will go down as the most important sporting event in Canadian history.
It was an awesome game, played to the level you want to see any sporting event played. If you weren’t a hockey fan before today and saw this contest, I can’t believe you didn’t become one.
