Hockey

[shadows]

I could have sworn I posted that I thought that Canada would win 3-2(I know that I told a fellow guard it would be that score, while he said that it would be 6-1 US...he said that to jinx them even though he has Ryan Miller in his NHL Hockey Pool).

Or perhaps I said that to one of my friends here via PM.

Either way, great game! Both teams played their hearts out and the game could not have been any more exciting! Congratulations to both teams for giving us fans(and our respective countries) a game that was nerve-wracking right to the end.

I will admit that I only watched the third period and overtime(I woke up late...darned midnights!), but it was still worth watching. I cringed when Kane knocked the puck off Crosby's stick during the breakaway(I think that Crosby would have scored if Kane hadn't done that) as I had a gut feeling that the US would tie it up. Darn gut feeling! You cannot fault Luongo on either of the goals(the first was a deflection, and the second had 3 US players in front of him...where the heck was the defense?). They both played well in this game.

I think that Luongo proved that he can be a big-game goaltender after his performance in the Olympics.

One thing I must talk about. I, among many other Canadian fans, have bashed the play of Chris Pronger for this entire Olympics. I will admit that. I will also admit that I admired Pronger during the playing of the Canadian National Anthem after the medals were handed out. Most players sang the anthem, a couple you could tell were nervous about it(they probably are like me, and do not like singing in public), but Chris Pronger was the loudest of them all! You could tell he was proud to be Canadian, and that put a smile on my face. Good on ya, Chris!
