Thank You Vancouver 20.10...
YES..it is another blog on these olympics and why wouldn't i share my feelings on what has been some of the best, thrilling, emotional, and satisfying tv in sports in a very long time. The Vancouver Olympics brought together the entire world in witnessing CANADA being the all time GOLD leader in winter olympic history. HUGEEEEEEE!!! These games have etched moments that will last a life time and be talked about for a very long time, Bilodeau's first gold on Canadian soil, Montgomery propelled to instant rockstar status, Rochette skates her heart out, maelle Ricker the bubbly snowboarder, and so SO MANY MORE...but the stage was set to what was meant to be...and did it ever deliver...a nail biter of a final between Canada and the U.S. Bringing these games to an end, in a story book type finish...CANADA GLORIUS AND FREE.....AND FUCKING GOLDEN! 14 TO BE MORE PRECISE!!!
A part of me is quite sad that these Olympics are done, but like many out there, the memories carry forward great conversations that can certainly last until the next winter games! A slew of emotions ran through me in the past 17 days that made this all the more special, monstrous goosebumps, anxiety, heart break, watery eyes, but the YELL coming from the gut, making the weirdest scariest sound, after Cole Harbor Nova Scotia's own, Sidney Crosby scored that o.t. winner, summed it all up! Champions, through and through.
To top off a great Olympic Sunday and weekend for that matter, we took to the ice ourselves later that night, adrenaline still pumping after the game we just witnessed, unveiling our own MM Hockey Club, we did it in fashion we didn't disappoint, beating our opponents in a rout of 10-2, not quite as dramatic as Canada's game but a win is a win...right??
AHHHHHH the beauty of sports!
Peace
