But the Canadian women's hockey have just delivered one of the greatest ever moments in Canadian sport.
Canada was down by 2 goals with under 4 minutes left. An injured Marie Poulin ties the game with 30 seconds left and scores the winner in OT. Great goaltending saved the game for Canada in the first minute of OT.
Watching SCORE afterwards, one of the broadcasters related the following story:
He and Craig Button were watching the Canadian women skate at 2 PM, in 2009 in Calgary at the Olympic Trials. The men were scheduled to skate at 3:30. The men start to come into the rink and some make dismissive comments about women's hockey. Vincent Lecavalier notices Poulin and ask Button who she is .... Lecavalier lingers for 5 minutes just watching the 18 year old Poulin. He turns to leave and says to them "that fellas is a hockey player". Back to back OT gold medal winning goals. Vinnie was right!
Congratulations Women's Hockey Team you just created a heritage moment and unified a country . Well played......
