Canada Hockey Place was jam-packed yesterday, as Team Canada took on Team Switzerland in one of the most exciting games played so far this Olympic season.
Canada led the first half of the game, but Switzerland came back with two goals toward the end of the second period. With even scores, it was looking grim for the Canadians, who four years ago, lost unexpectedly to Switzerland in Turin. It would be devastating to loose again, especially on Canadian soil.
After battling it out for five minutes of overtime, Sid the Kid came through with the winning goal in the fourth round shootout, defeating Switzerland 3-2.
It was a narrow win for Canada, but a win none the less.
The victory places Canada up against the USA on Sunday, February 21st. This match-up is one the most highly anticipated of 2010 Olympic Hockey. The winner will advance to the quarter-finals.
It isn’t too late for you to get a spot near the ice. For Olympic Hockey Tickets, visit ShowTimeTickets.com. And remember to check out our hot deals on all Winter Games tickets.
