The biggest!
I think they also had live sound feed from other cities coming through. I know they did from Nova Scotia.

I think I speak for the majority of my fellow Americans when I say:
"I thought the Olympics ended like a week ago?"

Then allow me to speak for the majority of my fellow Canadians when I say:
"Suck on it, losers!"
But seriously, classic game by two good teams.

Dear World,
we don't really have Mounties dancing in formation, (like in the Olympic closing party), honest.
I'm not sure about the flying giant Mooses tho...

Hey, we did the world a favour.
No Miracles On Ice II Movie and there won't be all those blown out of proportion, over glorified mini series.
Here we'll chat about it for a few days and then back to watching who gets the Holy Grail this year.

Maybe we should make the US hockey team go home in those figure skater outfits as punishment for losing.
WARK!

That's mean. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
It would be more humane to just put them down like a horse with a broken leg.

Quote - You got to hoist the cup?! That's dream of every kid, well, when I was growing up anyway.
Yep. That's my old place from about 15 years ago. The pool table was in the basement and if you look closely you can see where I bent the thing hoisting it into the ceiling. The ring is in a safe deposit box. I brought all the neighbourhood kids over to check it out as I live in Toronto and they don't really get to see it except at the Hockey Hall of Fame but my friend in the white gloves wouldn't let any of them actually hold it " because the acid in their fingerprints might tarnish it." Looser. It travels in it's own mini-van with a set of clamps in the back to hold the padded stainless carry case and first class when travelling by air.
