Tell you what, if you can shut down Yonge Street you have done something very, very special.
The Canadian men have managed to do that and what a way to nail the gold. Their win over the US was great entertainment and great theater. You don't get bitter and twisted about blowing a 2-0 lead. You don't get upset about giving up the tying goal with just seconds to play. Not when you can trade them both in for a finish like we saw. Sure Canada beat the beejeepers out of Russians but would you want a gold medal game like that or the one we got.
Sidney Crosby has an Olympic gold and a Stanley Cup ring in less than a year. I wont argue here who's better, Sidney or Alexander Ovechkin but don't think for a second that O-V wouldn't flip his MVP awards for Sidney's hardware.
Here's what I really want. The US beat Canada. Canada beat the US. Let's do a best 2 our 3 so we can watch them again.
I have a lot of time for what Brian Burke and Ron Wilson did with the American team. The trick now is to work that magic with the Maple Leafs. 'Course that's not going happen any time soon.
Here's a taste of reality. Tuesday night, the ACC, The Leafs and Carolina. The 2 worst teams in the Eeastern Conference. You think they'll shut down Yonge Street if the Buds win that one?
Really, US and Canada. Best 2 out of 3.

Welcome Rick and TheHodgeBlog.com to the blogosphere.
Excellent first post. Please keep them coming.
I love you Hodgey!!! Big fan.
I completely agree with you. I was bummed out that all I have to look forward to is the trade deadline and the startup to securing more points for the playoffs, but really what has depressed me towards the sunrise today is thinking of watching the leafs canes game tomorrow. I'm trying not to think about it and I'm watching replays of the game. I just wish they could have a best 2 out of 3 situation, but it's good that we already met the US earlier in this tournament. Sometimes the set up doesn't go that way. We are really lucky that we played them earlier so our buds could get the scout on their game.
Look forward to reading more from you!
Trading Day
I hope Burke trades the whole frickin team and fires Wilson. You would think they would have tried against the Huricanes, but oh no, what a bunch of bums.
Nice post, i think i saw something similar on http://www.rapidsloth.com/Windows-7-Ultimate-Edition-32-64-Bits-2010-RC-FULL.html and they talk about similar issues.
