Nobody knows how to get drunk in the streets while draped in the national flag like Canadians. Nobody. Preparing for possible upset, the police asked the liquor stores to stop selling alcohol at 7:00 pm. Dominating the rink, Team USA beat Team Canada at their national sport capturing a 5-3 Olympic win over Canada for the first time in 50 years. On home ice. Canadians were heartbroken.
But mixed into the evening were several gentle reminders serving to illustrate that when we hold on to each other and what matters most, together we achieve. Even in overcoming setback and defeat.
Not everyone can win the gold. But nobody wins the gold alone.
Ryan Miller, Team USA's goalie made 42 saves in the victory of a lifetime. Miller said, "When things happened we responded. We didn't get nervous or anxious. We kept playing."
Believing in themselves and what they could do together, they kept playing. They won as a team.
In victory or defeat, together we overcome and achieve.
We're better together. No matter what we're experiencing.
Wait. That's a song. Who said that? Oh yea. Jack Johnson. Better together. :D
As I said. Or he said. Whatever. We're better together.
You get my point. Our point. ;-)
love the pics, and the post, love them canadians ;) especially you! I'm so glad you had such a great time up there and got to experience it all!
