The team beat Sweden 4-1 in the final Monday, scoring two goals in the first period and two in the second.
<snip>
Caroline Ouellette and Gillian Apps scored one goal each in the first frame.
Apps opened the scoring just over three minutes into the game, after powering in alone in front of the Swedish net.

Damn right.
Hey, I mean .. well, it could be worse. When I sleep, even.
Night before last, I had a dream - for the Olympic games, I guess. Dreamt I was in Croatia. And there was football going on - world cup? And the second day, the Croatian team was playing, so everyone was waving Croatian flags - and playing the special World Cup Croatian anthem - which was sung by Andre Hazes, the famous, late Dutch schlager singer. It even had a line or two in Dutch, which I heartily sang along.
For ehBeth and company.

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

I love the Olympics. I love the drama and the effort and the perfection and imperfections of it all. I love the humanity of it. I love the surprises, the stumbles, the crashs and the falls. Sometimes that's difficult to see, or difficult to watch, because the athlete(s) have worked so hard to become something more the human that to see them falter brings us all down to earth, reminds us that we are chained to this existence, to these muscles and bones, to this semi-frozen brain trying to make the impossible happen.
Of course, when the impossible does happen, and it does with surprising frequency, we are shot up and out over the horizon of our own humaness, connected in some small way to their experience, their triumph over gravity or nerves or both, and imparted with the knowledge that, with the right effort, anything can happen.
