Gold Rush
by admin on Mar.07, 2010, under General
The coolest event I have ever gone to, without a doubt, was the 2010 Olympic Men’s Gold Medal Hockey Game. It just recently passed, so it is fresh in my mind, and boy was it great. First off, it staged one of the biggest rivalries that exists between nations. The battle was between Canada, and the USA. You could not have asked for a better scenario. And then, to be a Canadian living in Vancouver, and to be able to attend that game, well, it was just priceless. Furthermore, it was the most exciting game from a hockey perspective that any viewer could have asked for. Canada was leading 2-1 until the last thirty seconds of the game, just when they thought they had won gold, and the US team scored to tie it. That type of thrilling excitement is what makes a legendary game. Canada went on to win the game in overtime, and the atmosphere in the arena was truly electric.
