Couldn't be happier here. So many inspirational stories came out of this.

*flag waving*

Not bad for a country without a single gold at home prior to this. A fairytale ending to one of the most amazing experiences in my life, that's for sure.

Congratulations to Team Canada. You deserved it.
And may I also add, Vancouver is stunningly beautiful. Your city shined. You have much to be proud of.
Now, WE get Sidney back in Pittsburgh!!! He is awesome all the time, both on and off the ice.

That's ok, we're done with him.

You know, he lives about 20 minutes from me with Mario Lemieux, another Canadian SUPER star. Mario has been his mentor, and Sidney, I think, is the epitome of a true athlete on and off the field. I feel the same way about Mario. We are a lucky city down here!!

I'm still trying to get the ringing out of my ears. I have winter neighbors from Nova Scotia and they went WILD!!! The one lady's son played hockey with Crosby when they were kids. She said you can't find a nicer guy.

 

[collosusjr]

WOOO!! 14th gold!!!
USA didnt make it easy though

 

[dk2]

Great game, with Sid the kid scoring the game winner!

 

[BARENETTED]

CONGRATS to our Northern Neighbors!

It was a beautiful Olympics. Great Job!

I am sad it is over but (a little glad) since now I can get to bed at my normal time and get things done around here! Besides, I can't take seeing another sled crash on the 50/50! OMG!

So many wonderful stories and so many sad ones too. You have got to hand it to every one of these athletes who have given up their lives to train night and day. My fav - your Joannie - that girl has heart and spirit. I cried my eyes out while watching her. The one exception was the Russian Figure Skater who spewed his sour grapes all over the world.

As I am typing, the closing ceremonies are on and once again I am listening to Oh Canada. I am getting to know it pretty well! I kind of like it! It is my favorite after my beloved Star Spangled Banner.

GO CANADA GO!!!!


wooooooooooooo party time

 

[larktdl]

Yip, Canada kicked world wide ....!!! We took all the major events - hockey, figure skating and curling to name a few. If this does not make us all feel like great Canadians and part of a great country, nothing will.

Job well done to all Canadian Olympians.

 

[gixer]

Wow, Downtown was crazy tonight. So much people and so much energy. I have never seen it like that and probably never will. Well maybe when the Canucks win the Stanley cup.

 

[bornagainst]

I hear ya GIXER. There was a HUGE, impromptu bash here too! Thousands upon thousands, it was deafening.

About time we had reason to celebrate, for sure!

 

[maureengill]

Congrats...of course in hockey I was rooting for the good old USA, but hey...a couple of my FLYERS came home with Gold metals....and there was a bronze in there too. It was a good game...very competitive.

I will tell you, living in Cole Harbour I am the biggest SID the KID fan and GO PENS GO... lets see the cup go through the streets of town again this year. I am sooooo jealous of you. I have been trying to get my hubby to get me tickets to the PENS stanley cup game in Pitsburg since he joined the team. I absolutly love the fact that he won yesterdays game for us! I couldn't be happier.

This city ADORES him. He does so much for the kids, too. He gives of himself all the time. I had an awful time with who to root for, but then, I figured I would be happy either way. Sid sealed the deal for Canada and just made Pittsburgh that much prouder of him. Not sure that was possible. And he is SO humble.

Sportin' my Penguins Jacket out of respect for Sid the Kid today, underneath which I'm wear the only Canada jersey I own (shameful i know) that I recently got form a case of Molson Canadian. I figure that's good enough until I buy a Team Canada Crosby jersey haha.

Go Canada Go! Big respects to the USA team they're one tough opponent. Couldn't have asked for a more exciting, fairly officiated game with a fitting ending.

 

[beecee]

Congrats Canada on your win. Even though if USA won I would have got 2 sushi rolls from a Canadian friend. Since Team USA lost I guess me buying her burgers which is just fine if it keeps the smiles on the faces of my neighbors up in Canada.

 

[bornagainst]

We do also have to share this victory with the USA hockey team though....had we lost, it would have been an admirable game nonetheless.

The USA hockey team played with such a level of class and teamwork that really showcased what the idea of these games was supposed to be about from the beginning.
