Judy, I have some of those mittens too They were made by HBC (Hudson Bay Company... oldest company in Canada) for these Olympics. Scott's mom works at an HBC store so she got them for me as soon as they came in. They're sold out everywhere! I'd be glad to send you a Canadian scarf! I'll keep an eye out for one

The men's final hockey game is starting in just a few minutes. We're just getting all settled in on the couch!

WOW! What a game! USA tied it up with only 24 seconds left in the game, and then Canada scored in overtime. This is our 14th gold medal... the most gold EVER won by a single country in Olympic history! For never winning a single gold at home before, this was definitely our year. I am stunned! What a great ending to the games!

LOL! Thanks Betsi It was like revenge from the USA gold in world junior hockey! But really it could have gone either way, USA played a great game! I was so worried in overtime because we hadn't scored since the first period.

I watched that last bit of the game where Canada scored the winning goal. I thought of you Lindsey and how excited that you would be!

Congratulations to Canada!! Job well done

Of course it would have been very exciting for the US to win, but I was so happy that Canada won the gold at home. It turned out just the way it should. Congratulations Lindsay!

I'm glad the women and men both won gold in hockey! For most Canadians, it's the biggest event in the Olympics. The way the men had been playing, I didn't think they had a chance. Boy did they pull it together tonight! I never thought the women would have a problem though. I wanted to share this picture I saw on facebook today before the game

Hi Lindsay! It's good to hear your account of watching the game! It was a great one, for sure!

I liked the closing ceremony too! I have really enjoyed seeing and learning so much more about Canada during these games!!!
