He skated up the ice and passed the puck to his teammate, number 12, Jarome Iginla. Iginla passed it back and he shot. The crowd, dressed in red and white, held their breath as the puck sailed through the air. It landed in the net. The crowd erupted into cheers and number 87 threw his gloves and stick high into the air, crashed against the boards, and whooped. His teammates swarmed him. He had just scored the sudden-death overtime goal in the Olympic gold medal game. Against the Americans. At home, in Vancouver. With the home crowd watching. He was the hero of the game. The hero of the day. The hero of the entire Olympics. Canada was thrilled to get their record-setting fourteenth medal of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Team Canada was thrilled that Crosby ended the game with a win. Crosby looked like he was pretty thrilled about the goal too.
Sidney Crosby is without a doubt Canada's current athletic hero. I'm so relieved I can't type any more. Go Canada! I love my country, I love hockey, and I love the winter Olympics!!
I figured you'd be watching and write something about it. I'm glad too, because I had to work through it--not that I'm a big hockey fan, but I did want to know who won. :) Congratulations to your team!
