Olympic hockey wrap-up

I felt the entire country of Canada collectively get heart palpitations when Zach Parise's last minute goal tied the gold medal game. But things got put right for the host country when quickly-becoming-legendary Sidney Crosby banged home the golden goal in overtime.

It was a pretty surprising tournament. I think the biggest surprises had to be the U.S. preliminary upset of the Canadians (without which they wouldn't have gotten to the gold medal game, I don't think) and the Canadian mauling of the Russians. Proves you have to be ready to go when the puck drops, I think.
