Toews scores to make it 1-0 Canada:

Toews only the 5th Cdn forward to score in this tourney. Of course, they don't engrave stats on gold medals. Nor should they.

Quick whistle from ref after St-Louis one-timer hits Lundqvist on right pad and goes under and behind him. Goalie didn't have it covered..
— Stephen Whyno (@SWhyno) February 23, 2014
Sounded like St. Louis's stick broke on that shot. He gets all of it and we'd have a 2-goal game. #GoldMedalGame

Assuming he sticks to his vow, Rob Ford will be the only person in Real Sports not drunk by 9 am.

Mentioned earlier how good the Swedes are on the power play. They are also very good at killing penalties, not as good as Canada though.

SCORE!!!!!!!
— Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) February 23, 2014
Sidney Crosby. What a marvellous play. Both he and Toews have their moment in the gold-medal game.
— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) February 23, 2014
Simply no room for mistakes at this level of hockey. It is artistry.

The Maritimes, big on this final Sunday of the Olympics: PEI's Heather Moyse a co-flag bearer. And Nova Scotia's Sidney Crosby, with a goal.
— Arash Madani (@ArashMadani) February 23, 2014
Crosby the last Canadian to leave the bench, and the ice. Allows everyone to walk down the tunnel, toward the dressing room, first.

Team Canada has allowed three goals through 17 (and a bit) periods of Olympic hockey. It is 20 minutes and a 2-0 lead away from gold.

I love how Steve Yzerman cheered for the goal, then looked around to make sure nobody saw his brief moment of joy.

The on-ice communication between Canada's players is amazing. Constant chatter.
