Why???

Because I Believe

Because it was the most watched sporting (or any) event in Canadian History

Because of the emotion

Because it was the USA

Because Team USA beat us earlier and we knew they were so good

Because Canada owns the GOLD MEDAL Podium

Because we won the Most Gold Medals

Because the USA tied the game with 20 seconds left in regulation time

Because it was the last day of the Olympics

Because it was overtime

Because Canada was ready for a party

Because it was the perfect way to end the Olympics

Because the greatest hockey player in the world scored the Golden Goal

Because the whole nation was relieved

Because the whole nation celebrated at the same moment

Because what would we do if Team Canada lost
