What a night for Canada. Remember, the Canadian Hockey Team doesn’t want to win. It has to win! Don Cherry told me so. It’s Canada’s national sport. Their calling card! Their top priority at the games. And one of their biggest rivals, the Americans had already done the unthinkable in coming into their house and “punking” them. If their other arch-rival Russia were to do the same, there’d been panic, hysteria and despair in the streets of Vancouver.
But the Canadians made sure that didn’t happen by punching the Russians in the face the second the puck was dropped. And they didn’t stop until the game ended! Canada 7, Russia 3. Thanks for coming.
That’s the Canadian team everyone has been waiting on! It just took a team of Hall of Famers, All-Stars, and Captains…with immense pressure, a little longer to jell and come together. The Americans rocked them with a good shot; but once the ref hit them with their standing 8, and wiped off their gloves, they’ve been throwing and landing haymakers ever since. They’re getting better night by night and are peaking just in time for the medal round. And now, they’re right where they want to be! They picked a great time to remember that it’s their sport and they’re Team Canada.
Suddenly, not only does the hockey team have a different look and feel, but the entire games do. The “Big Dog” has his swagger and mojo back.
