Canada 6, Russia 5

Canada Hockey

I had given up.  There simply wasn't enough time on the clock for us to come back.  The Russians had us, we were playing Slovakia for bronze.  And then, with 5.4 seconds left in the third period, Jordan Eberle scored.

That scream you heard when Eberle scored was me.  It was awesome, but overtime awaited us.  We had our chances, but this semi-final would be determined by a shootout.

Awesome goals by Eberle and John Tavares sealed the deal and we'll be playing for our fifth gold medal in a row Monday night.  First the New Year's game against the USA and then this.  My poor heart can't take much more.
