But just because we've been playing tonsil hockey, doesn't mean you get to score the goal ... in my jockey.
You ever shout "HAT TRICK" in the middle of making out?[/QUOTE]
I did that once with a girl in Detroit.
It was bad news.

It was Detroit, so technically she was a man.

And here I was thinking it was normal for American girls to smell so musk-y.

Keeping in tone with the thread answer: It just shows you guys were the best at not winning.
In '72 I didn't fully understand the importance of the game and Canada's victory. In '87 I remember being absolutely astonished by the beauty of the goal and marvelling at those great players. Last night my one year old son had a running battle with me for my cheezies and beer. Until overtime, when he stopped squirming and just sat on my knee. He knew something special was going on and he was tranfixed by the game just as much as I. I'm going to remember that most of all, the sharing of sports with those that we love.
Absolutely.
I'm not a very sport-centric kind of guy. I have very little interest in who can most masterfully control the direction of three inch rubber discs. But the anthropological side of sports, and sport-culture absolutely fascinates me. A few dozen guys skated around a sheet of ice last night and slapped a puck around, and while it happened millions upon millions of people stopped to watch it happen. And when the Canadians won, there were so many people celebrating in the streets of Toronto that they had to shut down Young Street for a few hours.
That fascinates me. Your kid is going to remember something about tonight, when in-and-of-itself, nothing special happened besides two nations coming together in friendly sport.

I wish it had been anything like that in Oakville. I was pretty disappointed with the lack of reaction from this place.
A bunch of other animation students (Including a Polish friend and for a while an indian friend who had never seen hockey played before and asked "Why are they so aggressive?") and I sat and watched the game intently. When Crosby scored the winning goal, we all cheered, even those who had up until that point showed absolutely no interest in hockey, but after that, there was no grand display of comraderie or patriotism. Everyone went back to work before the Canadians even started their victory skate around with that ENORMOUS flag. Everyone just left. I stayed in the hallway, watched the medal ceremony and texted my brother, my dad and my best friend. When I went home shortly after, there were no sound of cheering, no cars honking, the sports bar accross the street seemed empty. Traffic was normal.
Oh how I wanted to be in Toronto yesterday, where people rushed to the middle of intersections whenever there was a red light, to dance and cheer until the light went green, and strangers high fived and hugged eachother. (According to my roommate who spent yesterday there)
Or atleast to be back home watching the game with my family, having a beer with my dad and my brother and pretending that my nephew had a clue what was happening.
Even so, I know where I was when that goal was scored, and I know my whole family was watching too.

gee you guys get all antsy about terminology.
I am a very special case, seeing as I was raised in australia by my western state mother and eastern state father, in that I always use an extra term when talking about sports. Ice hockey, Grass Hockey (the word field is stupid, I've only ever heard americans use it), Roller Hockey, American Football, Soccer Football(keeps both types of people happy), Aussie Rules Football and League Football (rugby for those who don't know, oh and we also have rugby union but that never gets on tv over here). Makes it easier to tell what you're talking about.
Also agreed with baseball, but I raise you Cricket. During the summer months down under, one channel (of a possible 4 choices where I live) is basically this progam:
AM= morning breakfast shows
Lunch= soaps
Afternoon= kids shows
Evening= Cricket
6-7 PM= News (with warnings if they are going to spoil the cricket scores if it's a delayed telecast)
>7= More Cricket
Late Night= Tennis
I would rather watch an entire season of baseball back to back than a 50 over match. Maybe even a 20/20 game too.

Canada is seriously the best country to have as a neighbor. You can forget they're even there for decades, and it won't really matter.

No, but I have spelled it out with the tip of my tongue once or twice.
