So, I already posted about the gold medal game....but this is something that deserves more than a few comments.
When the full Canadian team was announced back in December, there were many doubters and nay-sayers...after we lost the first game against the Swedes, many believed that it was all over then...when we only beat the Germans 3-2, they thought we weren't headed anywhere....but then something happened, a little spark, we tied the Czechs....then on Wednesday, 5.1 million Canadians watched our team defeat Finland 2-1....and on friday, we dominated Belarus, something that Sweden could not, 7-1....and that set the show down for the Gold Medal game....I personally wasn't just "hoping" Canada would win....I KNEW they would.
And as I said yesterday morning, millions of Canadians set aside their tax returns, loan payments, and united to watch the greatest team on paper become the greatest team on ice. I watched the majority of the game with "strangers", save for a beautiful female friend by my side, in a remote lounge in the Skydome. But every one of those 20 people in that room with me felt like friends, because for that moment in time, race and religion were set aside, age gaps abolished, and we were all Canadians.
Watching the National Anthem after the medals were awarded brought a tear to my eye, and butterflies to my stomach.
I'm very proud now, and always have been, to be Canadian
