55 minutes of unremarkable hockey by Team Canada with the last 5 minutes being unbelievable.

Congratulations to Mike Babcock & Team Canada

Added later: thumbs up to Team Europe for keeping us fans on the edge of our seats, hell of a game to you.

We turned the game on with about 10 mins. left. I would not have given $5 for Canada's chances as time ran down. Too bad, probably could have made a pile. As stated, unbelievable.

But why Bergeron, why esp. Marchand. We Canuck fans don't like those guys. I thought Marchand was a pest, not a star player. Alas, alack and sigh.

Yes, I know, everything's changed with Marchand. Now we have to love him, for a day or two at least (lol). I was just thinking back to the Boston-Vancouver Stanley Cup final series of several years ago.

Back when South Korea was first awarded 2018 Winters Games, I said IOC has completely lost it and continue saying it. Plus the actual location is within 80kms of North Korean border.
