CONGRATULATIONS CANADA

The greatest players in their sport do it when it matters most.

It doesn't matter if they played well, or poorly. They have the skill set to win a game at any time.

That's what Sidney Crosby did on Sunday afternoon to lead Canada to a 3-2 win over the USA and a gold medal.

Crosby had been a non-factor the entire game, failing to squeezing off two forgettble shots in regulation, including a flubbed breakaway. But in overtime, he made a play for the ages.

Crosby split a pair of defensemen as he sprinted into the USA's zone with the puck. He couldn't control the puck, and it went into the corner, but Jarome Iginla scooped it up, in part, because Crosby had occupied two defenders.

As he fell down, Iginla slid a pass to Crosby, who snapped a hard wrist shot between Ryan Miller's pads.

Suddenly, the man who had done nothing all game, created a moment that will last a lifetime for Canadians.
