Men's Hockey Gold Medal Match

The Olympics this year were very exciting to say the least. Every event was fought intensly by the athletes from every nation. I think we can all agree though that the final event of the Olympics was a very fitting ending. The last event was the Men's Hockey Gold Medal match that surely thrilled. After going down 2-0 in the first half, the Americans came back and brought it to a score of 2-1 within only minutes of the game ending. Then with less than a minute left on the game clock, and Canadian Hockey fans everywhere on the edge of their seats. The United States scores!!! Now we go into sudden death overtime with the score tied 2-2 and with American momentum. Only a few minutes in the NHL star Sidney Crosby scores for Canada, not only winning the coveted Hockey Gold which is so important to Canada, but also giving them the record for the most Gold Medals at an Olympic Games.
