In Monday’s Around the Sports World Post, I linked to the Matt Cooke’s hit on Marc Savard. It was brutal. It was a blatant hit to the head with his elbow. No penalty was called on the hit, and now, no suspension is being handed out to Cooke. Savard suffered a grade two concussion and will be out of action indefinitely. Here’s the video again, just so you can see how vicious the hit was.
Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal against the Americans to give Canada the Gold medal capped off an outstanding Olympic ice hockey tournament, especially for the NHL. The NHL wants this game to grow globally, but it also wants viewers. In Canada, more than 80% of the 35-million population tuned into the Gold medal game.
Team Canada’s women’s ice hockey team took care of business on the ice last night in Vancouver. They dismissed the USA 2-0 and won their third straight Olympic Gold medal. After the game, though, is where most of today’s headlines are stemming from. Thirty minutes after the final buzzer, the Canadians came back on the ice for an encore. They also brought back cigars, beers and champagne with them to the post-game on-ice celebration.
Roberto Luongo, the goalie for Canada’s men’s ice hockey team, is about to find out what carrying 35 million people on his back feels like.
Luongo will get the start in net for the Canadians tonight against Germany after Martin Brodeur was unable to beat the USA on Sunday night in Vancouver.
