Team Canada GOLDEN GOAL Downtown reaction, 2010 Winter Olympics

Reaction after Sidney Crosby scores the gold medal winner in Vancouver during 2010 Winter Olympics

As an american I can say I'm honestly jealous. Sure because of the gold but also to have a city, or even a country, be this patriotic towards their hockey team. I have notice as of lately that the US is beginning to take steps in the right direction... but baby steps. Your country is so great in hockey, and it would be great to call you "rivals" as opposed to just saying "We played you and one once, off of sheer luck."

It's like everyone in Vancouver was watching the game at the same time.
AWESOME.

A sport that can make a whole nation roar... the wonders of hockey

[jazzguitar]

@lonewolf604 A Stanley Cup win would be that loud for a city, but never a country. All across Canada cities were loud like that, all at the same time, that's amazing.

No other sport could do this to a whole country besides soccer but no country has a bond to soccer like we do to hockey i was downtown Vancouver for all of this best day of my life.

[Wintrz]

Vancouver is unbelievable, one of the greatest places on earth.

[LukeNosredan]

It was incredible. The streets in Toronto were so packed that my bus took an hour just to get out of the city!

[AtarahDerek]

The game was over at that point. Everyone's out in the streets celebrating the win.
I watched that game too. It was epic. Exactly how a gold medal game between two nations who dominate a sport should be.
And I was secretly rooting for Canada. I thought it was only appropriate that they finish out the historical winning streak Alex began.

[Onixflames]

Wow i wish all America could have that much love for the game...

[tommytimp]

This is Vancouver? What a great view, wherever it is. A great day for Canada. Can you imagine what the closing ceremonies would have been like had they lost? Lots of polite applause.

I was in abbotsford at an icerink when Sid scored and they had like 3 huge screens with the game playing and in OT everyone when quiet! Then he scored and cars were honking EVERYONE even none hockey freaks were going crazy! The only place where hockey is so important!!

[bradbest]

How do you like us now Canuck Haters!!! LOL!

[Canuck]

Only 2.5 million Americans follow hockey out of 340 million. We have nothing in common with Americans. 80% of Canadians watched this game!

[jamhoward]

I was in pittsburgh at that time and i was like the only one with a canada jersey on lol

[sspyndel]

so that's what we sounded like from a distance.. :p awesome!

[TheADzioba]

It's like the Allied victory of WWII all over again.

@Galactic123 We DID totally lose our minds!!! In Northern Ontario, we could have fired a cannon down main street! Time stood still, but when CANADA won GOLD??!!! OMG!! Even the cops were LOSING it!!
NO cars went down my road during the game, but after about 5 or 10 min. or so., all of a sudden, horns honking, brakes squealing, ... etc!!! CELEBRATION time!!!

[Jiltedin]

Ah yeah, and let's get Downtown Vancouver's reaction after losing the Stanley Cup.

[wintersfire]
