Two thirds of all Canadians, around 22 million, were watching on TV when Sidney Crosby scored GWG in OT. Two thirds!!
The other 11 million were serving beers and delivering pizzas.
To me this gold medal game is a defining moment in Canadian hockey. A victory, in overtime, on home soil, beating the Americans (while also beating the Ruskies to get there), to win the most gold medals in the Olympics ever. Established hockey hero Jerome Iginla (due to the Salt Lake City games) assisted on the goal by the second most recognizable Canadian Sidney Crosby. The entire thing reads like a story book and goes on the shelf next to great moments like the '72 Summit Series and the '87 Canada cup.
Go Canada Go
