Congratulations Canada!

OK BabyG and I are trying to work out who Number 30 for Canada is cause he's a spunk.
Anyone?

That was definitely a "Fuck yeah"

well, congrats to Canada, lady's Mario

hehe, I like the sound of that...I do, I do...He's SUCH a gentleman, off and on the ice....gosh I love that man!

Anyhow, I personally thought the U.S. was the strongest of the two in the third period (so I'm not sure what you mean about them being shaky BabyGrace!)

I'm just so happy right now!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

what's a spunk???
If it means cute in a youthful way, I'd have to guess Niedermayer (he's got that cute, intellectual look going)...but you can have him, I just want Mario!!!!!!

Amanda,
They showed this in Australia????!?!?

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I love my country.

That was the most nerve racking game I've ever seen. Wow. The States were all over us in that third period. Richter made some awesome saves, wow.

Gretzky looked so happy. God, I love Sakic and Iginla.

Did Belfour's medal break?

I know Peca had his ked out there for sure...i think the other was Nieuwendyk..or was it Niedermayer?

 

[zooropamanda]

ok we figured it out, i screwed the numbers up hahaha
Its Sakic who is hot

Julie, yes we do have television in Australia!!!

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

Yes, Sakic IS hot...and great, too...(he's always been my 2nd fave btw...a distant 2nd but 2nd nevertheless!)

I know you have tell 'manda but I didn't know if they'd show an ice hockey game!!
Glad to hear they did, though!!!!
the more converts, the better!

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

And for all the Sakic fans:

[BabyGrace]

haha lady, glad you enjoyed the game, Im sure all of Canada's gone crazy with you

I only saw the third period and I though the US played as though they were scared to lose which is not how you win something. they got Canada back on their heels a bit right around the middle of the period but that goal right after the powerplay pretty much broke their back..
oh well, congrats Canada

*still feels sorry for Roenick and LeClair

and Manda, Kariya is sooo much better..you found him yet?

Mamma Mia that boy is a cutie

Julie, we get all the Games. Only time I've ever been able to see ice hockey, apart from one Mighty Ducks game I saw on cable once.

when it comes right down to it, if not for the glorious save against Brett Hull by hockey god Martin Brodeur on that power play with 5 mins left, this game probably would have went to overtime

*beams with pride for favorite player*

*raises glass to Martin Brodeur

he's won the Devils two Stanley Cups, now I have to suck it up and be happy for him as he gets gold, congrats Marty!!!!!

Er,okay Wanderer...but the score was 5-2, not 5-4....

But whatever makes you feel better!

Anyhow, are you seeing the scenes on the t.v. across Canada??? People are all out on the streets, celebrating, getting drunk...One big party!!!

 

[J-Tree]

Lady, did you see that shot of Yonge Street right before the second period? It was dead empty!!!

[ladywithspinninghead]

Yes, I did!!!
I couldn't believe it!!

Have you seen the scene since??? There's no vehicles at all - just plump full of people!!!

 

[J-Tree]

Canada = hockey + beer

Sakic's last shot was soo like the Bell Mobility commercial!

My favourite is the shot of those guys who climbed on top of the street cars in downtown Toronto with flags. I went out just now, and you wouldn't believe what the situation on Eglinton Ave. is.

great game, US played very well, impressive showing from richter.

more eloquent post to follow. i have been waiting since i could understand both hockey and the olympics for this day

 

[Mrs. Edge]

Believe it or not, this was the first hockey game I have EVER seen! I guess if you have to start somewhere, this is the place to start. I LIKE HOCKEY!!! I may have to watch it again sometime!

 

[Angel]

That was brilliant!!! What a game!! I nearly had a heart attack ten times over but in the end we did it!!!!!!! woooooo hooooooo

50 years Canada has been waiting for this moment!!!! Yay! Canada rocks!

Good job guys let the party's begin! Downtown is crazy with people and their flags!!

 

[The Blunt Edge]

That was sweet! After the game, we went driving around the city honking horns and waving the flag. It was one big party, and everyone was so happy. Nothing like hockey to bring the country together.
