So Canada's women beat the USA in overtime in the ice hockey Gold Medal match, after a heart-stopping finish to regulation time. Naturally, Canadians everywhere were delighted by their team's overtime victory - none more so than Rob Ford, the crack-smoking, death threat-issuing, oral sex-enjoying mayor of Toronto. We can only speculate on his measured, politically correct response to the game.
The Americans were 2-1 up with 1:20 to go when a long-range clearance hit the post of the unguarded goal, after the Canadians had pulled their goalie in favour of an extra attacker. Had it gone in, 3-1 would surely have wrapped up the game, but Marie-Phillip Poulin tied the game 30 seconds later to force overtime. Poulin scored again in the extra period to win it for Canada
The two countries meet again today in the semifinal of the men's competition.
