Canada Gave Me A Scare

Well, last night’s game between Canada and Slovakia was going along pretty smoothly there for a while. At 3-0 for Canada going into the third period I thought for sure we would be seeing a rematch of the Salt Lake City Olympics between USA and Canada. And then.. it was 3-1. Okay, big deal. Canada still had a two goal… 3-2. Uh oh.

I saw the whole thing crumbling down. My dream Gold Medal game falling to pieces. Slovakia vs. USA just doesn’t have the same dramatic ring as Canada vs. USA. I was literally on the edge of my seat. The last minute of the game was terrifying. Love the Slovaks as I do, I did NOT want to see them in the Gold Medal game.

Well, it was a scramble there at the end but Canada pulled it out with a great save by Luongo (to make up for a really bad goal scored from behind the goal line earlier in the game.)

I have tons of pictures from the game but I have not put them on my computer yet and so, instead you will get some random shots from around the city.

Have you seen enough Olympic atmosphere yet? If not…

I had numerous requests for pictures of Canada Hockey Place (okay, maybe numerous is a bit of a stretch, but…)

And then there was this…

Because you can’t have too many cat pictures

Or pictures of a man on a bench wiping sleep from his eyes

And finally, who wants to play “Where’s Gerry?”
