Wasn’t That a Party
by Marilyn Anderson, Duet Media
Well, that’s what Canadian hockey fans are going to be asking themselves come Thursday morning…..if they watched and/or celebrated their Men’s Team make history with a 7:3 victory over Team Russia. This is the first time in Olympic play in 50 years that Canada has won this match-up! Maybe the real question will be “Isn’t this a headache?’, but one thing is for sure – it will be Olympic in proportion, no matter what it is!
On the eve of the Canadian Women’s Gold Medal game against the U.S. on Thursday, we have to pinch ourselves and think back to Salt Lake City, where both finals featured Canada vs the U.S.A., with Canada coming home with both Gold Medals.
Are we setting ourselves up for a repeat? Only time will tell. For now, we can celebrate a great effort by our Men, who worked so very hard tonight to take and hold the lead in a game where no one ever stopped. The Russian team did not go gently….it was a battle for every play…..and there was a lot of heart and pride at stake.
Raise a glass, sing Oh Canada! at the top of your lungs. Celebrate advancements, and be sure to cheer hard tomorrow………….tonight just feels like gold!
