Crosby lifts Canada to 3-2 OT win over U.S. for hockey gold - 2010 Olympics - SI.com
This was a tremendous game and probably one of the best we will ever see in the Olympics.
Zach Parisee will get standing ovations wherever he plays for the rest of the season and in Canada Sidney Crosby will be given long standing ovations. Now will Crosby's goal be up there with Paul Henderson's in the annals of Canadian history? Time will tell but the game lived up too and surpassed the hype.
PUTTIN' ON THE FOIL! This is my blog for hockey fun. I dont write long articles on hockey things, I just love to share videos, pictures and hockey history. Don't expect a lot of insight, just fun.
