3. Review – Canada vs. USA Gold Medal Game, Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Sun 24 Feb 2002
by Timothy Comeau

As much as I hate hockey I was jumping around at the end of this game, and even did a little dance of joy. I never thought I’d jump off a couch in excitement over a goal, but my arms pulled me up and up after the Sakic goal in the 3rd period that made it 5-2. I was also charmed by the idea that a loonie had been embedded in center ice the whole time, which somehow brought us the incredible luck of winning the gold with both the women’s and men’s teams.

Rating: eight out of ten (ten of ten if I’d been drunk in a bar downtown and then wandered around with a flag in the streets saying wuhu).
