A victory that united a nation.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsThere was significant interest in this tournament within the country of Canada and the word united was appropriate. Viewing parties were all over the nation, and I attended one for the Canada and United States round robin game this past Saturday at my neighbourhood pub. Of the 24 players on Team Canada, eight were from Ontario, four were from Alberta, four were from British Columbia, three were from Manitoba, three were from Nova Scotia, one was from Saskatchewan and one was from Quebec.
Congratulations from Canada’s first Team Canada, Members of Team Canada 1972, Canada’s Team of the Century to Canada’s most recent heroes! The legacy lives on! @PhilEspo7 @smorrisonmedia @Johnubacon @sportshall @CanMusHistory @newerakate @BarryatBrock Happy Belated Birthday Phil! pic.twitter.com/D0YQ9q35pz

A top Canadian player on the team was Phil Esposito of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, who turned 83 on Thursday.
Answering questions about #TeamCanada goaltending and about his own play with Thursday’s #fournationsfaceoff clinching effort, Jordan Binnnington made several tremendous saves especially in overtime. With that stirring win, he became the 7th goalie on this NHL international list pic.twitter.com/b3GK7uu2Qg

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js There is no doubt Jordan Binnington has had a below average season with the St. Louis Blues (15-19-4 with a save percentage of .897, and three subpar performances for Canada leading up to the final), but was spectacular in overtime leading up to the Canadian win.
I underestimated how good last night’s Canada win over the USA would make me feel. Both from a sporting and political perspective. Thank you Team Canada. You gave the entire country a badly needed boost.
