Team Canada Wins Gold Medal Game vs USA in Men's Hockey Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

Sidney Crosby’s golden overtime goal was a sweet one after having a gold medal within reach during regulation time. Team Canada allowed team USA to score with only 24 seconds left by Zach Parise to tie it up makes this victory that much better. Sidney managed to get the winning goal past star goalie Ryan Miller during OT. What a great hockey game! How Ironic is is that Sidney Crosby won the game for Canada after going the last 3 games without a point. When it all mattered Sid The Kid scores the golden goal that means the most. Now Sidney Crosby has a Stanley Cup and now an Olympic Gold Medal in Men’s Hockey at only 22 years old.

Goals for Team Canada were Corey Perry and Johnathan Toews during regulation time and for US it was Ryan Kesler and Zach Parise with only 24 seconds left in regulation time to score for Team USA to force overtime.

Canada beats Slovakia with 3-2 win in the semi-final game against Slovakia to advance to the gold medal game rematch against the US at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Canada was a favourite to win this game but Slovakia fought back to come very close to tie the game up. They fell short but was a great game. Canada took a quick 3 goal lead against Slovakia in the first period to win the mens hockey game.

Now on Sunday Team Canada will face off against the US to see who will win the gold medal game. This rematch game between Canada and the US is one that many people have waited for and we’re all glad to see these two hockey teams square off once again at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver 2010. Many people didn’t think the US would make it to the gold medal game in hockey but they are the only undefeated team in the tournament. They’ve already beat Canada once so I’m sure the rematch will be different as Canada looks to take gold!

Team Canada is only one more game away from the Gold Medal game if they can defeat Slovakia tonight in the Men’s Ice Hockey semi-final game in Vancouver. So far the women were able to take gold by beating the US in this years Winter Olympics. Now it’s time for the men to shine and accomplish the same as the women.

Sidney Crosby will try and lead Team Canada tonight as they face off against Slovakia. It should be an interesting game and hopefully our men’s ice hockey team will capture a spot in the gold medal game. If they can beat Slovakia tonight, they will most likely have a re-match game against the US in which there previous encounter Canada lost. Canada would love to ave a rematch against the US! We’ll have to wait and see what happens as we all watch on.

Go Team Canada and good luck tonight!

Team Canada womens hockey team wins gold medal game against the USA at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010! What a great game that Canada totally dominated. Despite many penalties against Canada they were able to fight off the United States to shut them out. There were many 5 on 3 advantages but Canada’s defence would not allow them to score a goal.
