What a great end to the Olympics!!!

Hi again!
Well I really wanted to post about the AMAZING Men's Hockey Game yesterday!! Wow it was another nail biter (if you bite your nails lol) and stressful but Canada pulled through in the end!!!! YAY!! I have to say also that the US really played well and gave Canada a good challenge but what can I say? Hockey is Canada's game and we were just a little bit better! lol The US really did play well and I hope that they enjoy their silver as they should because a silver is still a great accomplishment. But the game was so much fun to watch! Except the last 30seconds when the US scored and tied the game and forced us into overtime! But our guys came back and played great and they were focused and Crosby scored that winning goal which will probably be played over and over now for who knows how long. lol But we can't forget that it was the whole team that got to that point also. It wouldn't have been the golden goal if it hadn't of been for the good game played and the other two goals scored. Also our goalie Roberto was great!! He stopped so many shots and really played well. But that final goal was sooooo exciting and I think all across Canada there was cheering and jumping up and down and celebrating at that same exact moment! Just as we all probably yelled nooooo at the tv when the Americans scored the goal with 24sec left on the clock. But a game is never over till it is over! Well I am really proud of our Men's team and how they came back after the loss against the US and played their best. This was such a great way to end the Olympics on home soil!!!
Also the Closing ceremonies did not dissapoint. They were really quite neat and lots of talent as well! I hope that after all of this, the rest of the world has a better idea of Canada and maybe we will stop hearing questions about us living in igloos and riding polar bears! lol But I have a feeling that will always be around because there will always be people who have some crazy ideas. Also I think we surprised the world that we are as patriotic as we are and I am proud that the world could see how proud we are of our country! Now sadly it is time to get back to our lives and back to normal. But we can do so with a renewed sense of pride in this glorious country called Canada!!!
