I remember vividly watching the Canada Russia game. The Russians were heavily favored to win. I was rolling a giant jar of coin so I could buy some dinner. I can't count the number of times I was up and out of my seat with excitement, and coins flew everywhere. I couldn't tell you how much money went missing that day. (Pro-tip: it was about 20 bucks.) I was watching the game with my buddy from Russia, and he wanted to see Canada roll over Russia. He has most Russian players because, in his eyes, they take off a lot of games. He was more ecstatic than I was when we won.

Great goal, went down to 17th to celebrate. Everyone was spilling out from the bars, if it wasn't for the cops blocking people from going on the road it would have been full on 2004-esque. Can't believe that was three years ago
It was marvelous, probably wouldn't care as much if there wasn't a Flames player on the team.
Totally disagree, the beauty of international play is the ability to forget your NHL team bias/hatred and cheer for the best players the country can produce.

Yet, I kinda laughed when Luongo let in that back breaking tying goal late in the third.
My memory was a little fuzzy due to the excessive amounts of alcohol I consumed during the game. Funny enough my second daughter arrived exactly 9 months later. She probably wouldn't be here if we didn't win.
