Hockey: This is Our Game


On Sunday, February 28th, it was not only the last day of the month but the last day of the Olympics.

And not only that, it was the Gold Medal game for Men's Ice Hockey - Canada vs. USA

It was such an exciting, intense game! Canada scoring the first goal of the game; USA ties the game with about 25s left of the 3rd period; goes into OT and Crosby scores the golden goal assisted by Iginla!

That moment made me so proud to be Canadian! haha...and the fact that Canada went away with the most gold medals! 14 to be exact :)
Awesome game Canada! Way to end the Olympics! =)

GOLD!

Canada finally wins GOLD on home ground!
Alexandre Bilodeau wins Gold for Canada!
So the beginning was a rough start, but it's getting better.
It's all about the finish =)

His story is really touching and sweet about him and his older brother Federic.
Alexandre and Federic Bilodeau

Anyhow, back to studying.
There is much for me to update...
So what to expect soon is
1. The outcome of the Superbowl get-together I hosted (wings+blue cheese dip+nacho recipes with it!)
2. Looking for place to go to for some good poutine?  Well I found an article that lists the top 5 places, and Steve's (the restaurant I mentioned in my first blog post) isn't listed.  I'm excited to try these places out to see if the poutine there is really that good and worth the $$

Winter Games

The Olympics are here...
and so far it doesn't seem like the greatest start.


The tragic death of the 21 year old Georgian luge athlete.  My heart sank when I heard this story.  You don't expect for a tragedy to occur at such a great event that brings people from all around the world together; a time that should be for celebrating.


The 4th pillar not coming up for the torch lighting indoor. That's kind of embarrassing... The look on Steve Nash's face while waiting for the pillars to come up was priceless though.


Delay in a men's skiing event because of the snow conditions.


The 1500m men's speed skating race.  It looked like a clear win for gold, silver and bronze for the South Korean athletes until one fell and took out the other.  At least Korea got a gold medal, but so very close to taking it all.


Mogul freestyle downhill skiing (not sure if that's the proper event name).  Canada had a good chance at obtaining the first Gold on home ground, but fell slightly short of that and placed 2nd.


Women's relay should be a good race to watch since it should be very close among all 4 team finalists.


It's only the beginning, there is still more to come so it's too early to say what the final outcome will be. =)


Go Canada! Go S. Korea! =)
