Sidney Crosby had been held pointless for 8 periods. And he waited until he was 7 minutes and 40 seconds into the nail-biting overtime period in the gold medal game to make his mark in Canadian Olympic history. On a feed from Jarome Iginla deep in the American zone, Crosby banked it past USA's Ryan Miller to score the winning goal. With the crowd going wild, Crosby removed his mouth gaurd and threw his gloves into the air, letting out a scream of victory. The boys jumped over the Canadian bench to join Crosby in this epic moment. It is fitting that they boy who was left off of the 2006 Team Canada roster for being too "inexperienced" was the one to bring home the gold. Fairytale ending.

What a great ending to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Canada has set a record for the most gold medals won by any country in the winter Olympics, bringing in a whopping 14 gold medals! Congratulations to all of our athletes. We are so proud.
