Just super! I was rooting for the USA just because I'm a citizen, and was ridiculously happy at the tying goal with less than a minute to go.

Still, Canada's win was the truly appropriate storybook ending, especially because it was Sid the Kid who made the shot. And if the US had scored a wininng OT goal past Luongo, he would have had to endure way too much criticism, and his coach would have been second-guessed to kingdom come for not reinstating Brodeur in goal for the final game.

Americans will forget about the loss and be glad to have taken the silver. The same could not be said of the citizenry of Canada had the US won the gold.

I think it was wonderful, too, that Canada won the most golds (after a very slow start) while the US took the overall medal count with an all-time record total.
