GO CANADA GO
Pretty much everyones status on facebook and boy am I proud to be Canadian now, all of Canada stopped for 3 hours this afternoon to watch hockey my self included. Having had the opportunity to go to Vancouver for the olympics and experience the Canadian olympics was once in a life time. I had my doubts going into the game that Canada wasn’t going to be able to do it, with our devastating loss to the states in the prelims but we won when it mattered.
Kinda sucks to be American right now. Wonder if the guys in the locker room are listening to some Linkinpark or something, was pretty funny watching the macho guys with beards holding back tears while everyone cheered that they had lost. Pretty satisfying watching the Americans not win after they beat us for the first time, not that I have anything against Americans but this is Canada’s game and anyone other than us winning would have been heart breaking.
Sydney Crosby is living the Canadian dream, stanley cup and gold medal in a one year period, fucking ehhh. I know I didn’t stop believing in Canada, hell we could have lost everything but the hockey and I would have been happy. Well we kinda did own the podium in a way, with the most olympic golds in a winter olympic games ever as well as most golds won by a home country. Even people who aren’t huge sport fans were entirely emersed in the games, it opened up a sense of national pride, my friends who are only into fashion and the latest cum stained drawing perez has on his site took a break from the nonsense and joined in with the rest of the country.
We even watched the mens curling and cheered drunkingly as the guy with the shiny head won the gold, and kinda hated the women for loosing. We were glued to the tv watching things we would never normally, curling, my new favourite speed skating, people skiing then shooting targets, and watched the most badass olympian Jon Montgomery chug a beer right after winning his gold medal, really just about anything that a Canadian was doing we were watching. Now that the games are over things will go back to normal, but for these past 3 weeks everyone in Canada was just a bit more Canadian. Well its been a fun time, hopefully someday soon the olympics will be back in Canada so we can experience it again.
Don’t Stop Believing- Journey
We Are the Champions- Queen
As an American fan of a Canadian blog, this is a painful post. But congrats!
