Okay that sucked the life out of me for about 15 minutes, but I’m over it.  What a game that was between USA and Canada!  Just superior skill and spirit on both sides, a game for the ages.  An American win would have done wonders for this land, but a loss would have killed the collective Canandian spirit for quite some time.  It might have been weeks of mourning in The Great White North where hockey is life.  

 I have some great friends up there, including the Moore family who lives in Victoria, BC, right in the middle of The Olympic craziness that was Vancouver.  Naturally I had a bet with the man of that house, Blaine, who used to play for, and later coached the Fresno Falcons of the ECHL.  Obviously I lost the bet so it’s time to swallow personal and national pride.  The monetary part will come in the form of food.  I owe Blaine dinner.  The other part is less tangible, but no less painful.  I just got an email from him asking, “Where’s my picture?”  Here it is Blaine.  Enjoy it.  Where we going, McDonald’s?Kevin with Canadian Sign
