I definitely cannot wait for Sunday. Neither can the rest of this entire damn country. People were describing Wednesday's game against the Russians as "the most important game in the history of Canadian
hockey" (apparently not remembering the '72 series vs. the Soviets or the 2002 gold medal game vs. USA) and now the importance of the gold medal game has manifest tenfold. It's really impossible to describe the expectations and the level of excitement up here - all I can say is good luck. This game is a re-match of the 2002 Gold Medal game, and in that game, on American soil, the Canadians walked all over the Americans. I can't imagine how Canada is going to come out of the gate for Sunday's game on home turf. Also, Canada now has 10 gold medals (should be 11, but Cheryl Bernard missed easy shots in the 10th and 11th ends which would have won another Gold for Canada today), which is more Golds than any other country. I don't believe Canada has ever come close to such a strong record at the Olympics before. We can thank the women for that, as most of our medals are being won by female athletes. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the three goal scorers for Canada tonight were Getzlaf, Marleau, and Morrow, who are the only players from my home province of Saskatchewan on the team. Fuck Yeah.
