Same here! I'm actually from New Westminster which is outside of Vancouver so these Olympics were a very huge deal and I was 12 years old at the time but it was also a very big year for me as well because I was in my final year of elementary school (grade 7) at the same time.

No kidding. That's the moment the entire country screamed in jubilation. Jarome Iginla's pass, while falling to the ice, and Crosby's quick release and the hand eye coordination of both made the dreams of a nation come true. That golden goal was just as important to Canadian sports history as Alexandre Bilodeau's gold metal win in freestyle skiing 2 weeks earlier.

lived in bellingham WA during the 2010 Vancouver olympics and while I am a born and raised american, living extremely close to canada during my formative years the way canada carries itself and how its people live have rubbed off on me and I make no secret that I was more than happy canada won the gold medal.

[@marcwiebe8891]

If the ref didn't jump the best Canadian hockey moment never would've came about

[@MrGittz]

That’s like saying “if Miller made that save Canada wouldn’t have won”. The ref is part of the game, same as any other thing on the ice, from the boards to the glass. Canada totally outplayed America in that game. The only reason it wasn’t over in regulation, the *ONLY* reason, was because Ryan Miller had the best game of his life. People seem to forget that. Ryan Miller was unbelievable for 99% of the game, and then he lets in a pretty weak goal. That was a 100% saveable shot. He made 2 mistakes. He played it into the corner with Canadas top line out & was beat on a no look shot. The ref jumping wasn’t even a top 5 reason why Canada won that game.

[@boltinabottle6307]

I wouldn't say never. In all likelihood, it comes a few minutes later.

[@timmytinkles374]

Iginla's assist is just as good as the actual goal.

[@boltinabottle6307]

I think Crosby's reception and settling of Iggy's pass was the most impressive part. Iggy put way more into that pass due to being knocked down. Crosby showed Magnetic, Puck on a String, Shnipe, Heatseeker, and All Alone ZONE abilities just on that one play. The best athletes make it look easy, but anyone who's played hockey at any level knows - that play goes very differently 99.9% of the time if being attempted by pretty much anyone else.
