I have no idea what to say. My throat hurts from yelling and I feel as if I have just run a marathon. This game was incredible from start to finish. I can't even be upset that USA lost...they played so incredibly well and so did Canada that my mind is just overcome with quality hockey. And of course, Sidney Crosby saved the day for Canada. The guy who has been rather "silent" for the last two games for Canada came up big, in the only way Sid knows how to come up big--by scoring the game winning goal in overtime!
I really need a nap!!
Some quotes from the game from the people I watched the game with or talked to during the game:
"Following the Olympics..."--Emrick
"Zach and Melissa are getting married."--Mom
Needless to say, I was on the floor laughing extremely hard after that comment.
"I'm just trying to remain calm."--Val
You weren't the only one, that's for sure!! :)
"Go Canada."--Jenny
"Go USA."--me
My bestest is Canadian. We've been trash talking all day about this game. I love her dearly!!
Again, congratulations to both teams. And I'm really happy for Babs and Stevie--love them both!!

OLYMPICS!
The Olympics are upon us, and I don't know about any of you, but I have been enjoying them immensely! Tonight brings us the most hyped up game of perhaps the entire hockey season (nhl included) TEAM USA vs. TEAM CANADA.
I don't know about any of you, but I have set my dvr to record tonights game. I've been going through mixed emotions since this game was announced weeks ago. Both teams have a fair share of my favorites playing for them--actually, that's a lie. I have more of my favorite players wearing team Canada sweaters tonight and that is realy irking me. I've been smelling upset since watching Canada win in a shootout against the Switzerland, but my brain is arguing with my heart. My brain tells me that Canada is stacked at the US team would be lucky if they could beat Canada's "B" team that they should have sent to the Olympics as well in order to create some more drama and bring some more quality hockey to the table. My heart is arguing that Team USA is going to amaze us all tonight, the 30th anniversary of the Miracle on ice. Either way, I'm excited for the hockey game tonight and nervous as all get out!
Enjoy! :)
