One year ago exactly, Sidney Crosby sent the entire nation of Canada and I into a hockey and beer fueled frenzy.
This is the single greatest hockey moment of my entire. Better than Hank scoring in 4OT, better than Linden's last game, better than seeing Burrows/Kesler score hatties live at GM Place.
I still get chills watching this video.

Where were you for the Golden Goal?
I was at a movie theater watching the game with hundreds of peeps.
Such a great moment…

I was at work
getting texts on what was happening :( Feeling is not the same reading it.

I was watching the game at my house with my mom
She was closing her eyes because it was too intense. She opened her eyes when she heard me losing my shit. I was running around my house, knocking stuff over, Ric Flairing nonstop, screaming like a banshee.

I was in Pearson Airport
Drinking a very overpriced beer by myself, and being very nervous when it went to OT. I had to get up and do a lap of Terminal 1 between the 3rd and OT

I was so ecstatic when he scored that goal. Bob Cole’s call on that I can still hear all the time.

As much as Crosby’s goal was great, Cuthbert really garbled that call. I know it was kind of unsuspected, but I wasn’t impressed by the delivery.
The BBC call was much better IMO. Brits can play by play like no one’s business.

I was being serious. I agree with your point, and I like the fact that the USA program is revamped, but I still can’t see them having a dominating stretch, nor having equal top-end talent, ever.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the Parises, the KesLORDs, but until they can find 12 guys who are willing to play in any position, 6 speedy, physical, puck-moving, positionally sound D, they won’t be able to field a comparable team competitively.

I am extremely proud of how the USA team played. We weren’t even supposed to get anywhere near the medal rounds. Huge underdogs in the fight. I’m probably more pissed that we were undefeated until the last game. I know you guys really wanted to win on home ice, but damn my guys deserved it.

Does it have to be? When I was old enough to understand I watched the Summit Series and read about its history and it blew me away.
But if it’s down to when I was alive…2002 all the way. Especially after the Hasek show in Nagano.

I was kind of kidding
I’ve heard about the Summit series from my parents, but even seeing the replays doesn’t really have the same feel because I never experienced it live. That’s why 2002 sticks out to me so much. And for the same reason – after how much 98 sucked.
My dad and I got up at whatever unholy hour the game was and watched the whole thing – I was so choked after the shootout, and really pissed they didn’t give Gretz a chance. Frakin’ Hasek. I hated him, but still had so much respect.

Fuck! NM ate my message!
At that time, 2010 was more intense. Especially given how Canada struggled in the round robins, shaped up, beat the fuck out of the Russians, and Crosby’s heroics followed. I think it has to do with the patriotism, the fact I was living in the middle of the olympic festivities, and the overall success of the Canadian olympians.
But in retrospect, it just doesn’t beat 2002. 50 years of futility? That team was incredible. Sakic was a beast then. Lemieux finishes the tourney and announces he’s out because he’s been playing with a broken ankle or something. Even watching the pre-game, with the way all the Canadians invaded Salt Lake, it was fucking incredible, and still gives me goosebumps till this day.

They struggled a bit
In the round robin in 2002 as well. That’s why Gretzky unloaded on the media in that press conference.
“I don’t think we dislike those countries as much as they hate us. They don’t like us, they want to see us fail. They love beating us. They don’t like us.”
“It makes me ill to hear some of the things people are saying about us”
“Am I hot? Yeah I hot. I’m tired of people taking shots at Canadian hockey. When we do it we’re hooligans, and when Europeans do it it’s okay because they’re not tough, they’re not dirty. What a crock of crap.”
I still smile when I watch that again

Sunday. I told EVERYONE AND ANYONE who would lsiten that Sidney Crosby
was going to score the GWG for Canada—I just thought it would against douche-bag-

What a game! Sid comes through. He is so CLUTCH. God, I miss Sid.
