Canada versus the United States for Olympic Hockey Gold in Vancouver, it will be so. Their round robin game was the highest rated sporting event in Canadian history. You have to assume that the Gold medal game will draw a larger audience. If Americans tune in, this could very well be the most watched hockey game in history. Some might say that is excellent theatre. The USA won the first game, and celebrated excessively after an empty goal in round robin play doing the group gang tackle. This time the pressue is on Team USA, given that they should now be favoured to win based on earlier results.
I am not going to make a prediction for this game, but I would like to call to attention the likely historical match. The biggest sporting event ever hosted on Canadian soil?
Let's hope the hockey Gods stay with us!!
ReplyDeleteThe gods may stay with Canada but God is on America's side.
ReplyDeleteGod is on America's side? How then do you explain Obama?
ReplyDeleteI think the pressure is on Team Canada to bring home the gold and give big brother a reminder this is our game.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is going to lose and let's hope it does not end up ugly with fight's or problems in our streets for the global press to highlight.
Let' hope we keep our sanity and don't need to deploy the security for some knuckleads.
Prediction 4 to 1 Team Canada Wins Gold.
