The *Golden* goal

Youtube has disabled the  video so please go here to watch the highlights, 2 1/2 mins. long

The score was Canada 2 -U.S. 1 with just 24 seconds to go in the game and we were ecstatic. Then the unthinkable happened and suddenly it was 2-2 !  OMG! What happened? We were stunned! This can't be. But it was true and we went into OT.  and all of a sudden we were not so sure of ourselves anymore. What a terrible sinking feeling as the OT period started. It was anybodys game.....then something magical,
the golden moment happened. The announcer said "Crosby can't butt in"  then "Crosbys got it again"  and then finally "He scores.....SIDNEYYYYY CROSBYYYYY"
We'll happily hear those famous words again a million times. It was sheer magic!
