First of all the game. It was unbelievable. It was well plaid, and there almost was a hockey fight, which was expected considering the pressure of the game. 1-0 at the end of the 1st, 2-1 at the end of the second and 2-2 at the end of the 3rd after Team USA scored with 28 seconds left. Who would have thought it was even possible?
Then we went into 20 minutes of sudden death with shoot-outs afterwards if needed. And Sid the Kid won the game. He saved the best for last. Some were complaining about his lack of scores in the 3 previous games. But in this winning play, he pushed and didn't give up. And because Canada won the Hockey gold, Canada won the Olympics. Of course USA and Germany had more medals (not gold though), but it was the hockey game that decided who really won the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
Before Sid's shot, no Canadian dared to think what if the US won. It would have killed our Canadian pride. People would turn in their citizenship and I would not apply for one. The fabric of space and time would have ruptured. This was our sport.
This following article details the true meaning of this game in a way that i could not do without plagiarizing. So here it is:
