Canada wins the Gold Medal in Ice Hockey

Not much to do with the military scene, but..........

As two year residents of Canada in the late 1970's Pat and I consider ourselves sort of adopted Canadians. And......of course, this Forum is based in Canada, so.........

Congratulations, Canada on a well fought battle that was won cleanly and very professional fashion.

Pat and I sang "Oh Canada" right along with the crowd when the medals were presented.

Job well done.

What a squeaker, though. 30 seconds to go in regular time for a tied game.

I saw Crosby. I saw Nash. Where was Stills?

Betty let you watch the game? You weren't drinking beer and cheering were you?? Reprobate.

My daughter (devoutly Canadian) is in North Carolina on a school trip where she watched the game with her American hosts. A few minutes ago she e-mailed me (on a purloined laptop) saying they may let her go home...about June.

Outstanding game, and the Yanks deserved the win as much as we got it. My hats off to them, especially Miller!

Sally just called me on the cell from downtown and I could hardly hear her from the ruckus in the background... apparently all of Bloor & Yonge is jammed with flag-waving fans and even the cops are cheering. It's a good night for us.

Canada won another 13 gold medals, for a total of 14, the highest of any country at any winter games ever!

John, we here in the US have followed the "Declaration" that "Canada will Own the Podium" as have many other countries.

As stated earlier, Pat and I are adopted Canadians and we are very proud that Canada won the most Gold Medals in the history of the Winter Games.

As a side note I watched the earlier portion of the game on the BBC feed and in their rankings, Canada was first due to winning the most Gold Medals.

I think in retrospect, Canada did in fact "Own the Podium".

Chimo, or however it is spelled.
