Well, Canada didn't "Own the Podium" as they'd hoped, but they did own the top step of it! 14 Gold Medals for the GWN!

Both side looked good. USA had opportunities that just would not get in the net. No excuses Canada won.
Could not have been a better finish for Canada, story book stuff for sure. Very cool game and tourney. Congrats!

About 26.5 million, representing about 80 percent of the nation's population, watched at least some of the game.
Have they gotten back to work up in Canada yet? I'll bet there were a few hang overs after that win.
That verse is kinda catchy! "The good ol hockey game, is the best game you can name."
And it's their national game as well,
Actually, Canada's national game is lacrosse.
But Hockey is the National Winter Sport of Canada

Thanks, I wasn't aware they changed it in 1994.
Yeah...Parliament had nothing better to do than pass that law! Probably why Chrétien didn't get around to repealing the GST like he'd promised to do...(It can't go into the Spin Zone if most of the people don't understand the political reference therein)
During the recent Olympics, Air Canada frequently ran TV commercials showing excited sports fans passing through airports around the world, enthralled by the Games.
It turns out that those ads were pretty accurate. The airline was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver because passengers watching the end of gold medal men's hockey game on airport televisions ignored repeated calls to board.
"We incurred a flight delay for a reason Air Canada had not yet encountered in over 72 years of existence," chief executive Calin Rovinescu told a business gathering Tuesday.
