Canada vs USA

We were so excited to watch the gold medal Olympic hockey game the other week. The pressure was on to deliver after the previous loss to the USA. Also, we were getting some unpleasant comments from some American friends about losing, so we needed to win.

Luckily we had some good luck charms. My brother Travis loves us so much and sent us some official Canadian Olympic clothes. A t-shirt for Adam, myself, and Lizzy, and a super cute sweater for Gabe. Also an awesome, super soft scarf (ooh nice alliteration if I say so myself). They came just in time, a day before the game. We donned the clothes and skated to gold-medal victory! Woo-hoo!

After the game.


Lizzy shouting, "we're number one!" (at our promptings... of course)


Here's a stunning play by play for those of you unfortunate to miss it.

The fight was fierce...
We were up 2-0...
Then we we were tied at the very last second...
It goes to over time...


Crosby shoots...


He scores!!


And we win the Gold, 3-2 in OT.
