Go Canada!!!

Wow what a comeback in this tournament and that gold medal winning goal in overtime was an absolute beauty!

And one year later, Canada goes for gold again!!
And they win!!
That game was a nail biter. Canada up 2-0 going into the 3rd and they missed, I think it was 7 PP's that would have given them some insurance if they had scored, but they did not. Of course the Finns tied it up in the 3rd and "WE're going to overtime"! MacTavish in the OT stopped the puck from crossing the line, and I mean just at the line! He then started the the play up the ice that scored. He did not get an assist, but if he had he would have tied the record for most points. As it stands, he's tied for 2nd with a couple of guys you may have heard of before, Gretzky and Lindros. Not bad, but the irony is he'll be remembered for the goal he saved and not for being in the record books tied for 2nd in points with Gretzky and Lindros.

I was camping without reception the past few days and just read this last night. I watched the highlights as soon as I read your post T. WOW! What an overtime, yeah talk about a nail biter! Proud of the team for pulling out the W over a good Finnish team that was right in it. Tough to see them play in front of so few in the stands (understandably for many reasons) on our home soil. They did not let that, or the ugly shadow that hovers over Hockey Canada right now deter them from accomplishing all Canadian hockey kids goals at one point or another and that is to win Gold for Canada, and they did that. Good job boys, well earned!!
