“McDavid’s goal gave Canadians a much-needed morale boost, when a loss might have triggered a national funk”
So true
I was living in a boarding house in Vancouver and trying to write the Great American Novel. I think I scraped to gather enough money to buy one beer and watch one period in a bar on Granville St.
On the other hand, had Canada been in shape from Game 1 it might not have been so close.
You are right to point out that Marner had a huge impact on the result with his two beautiful passes.
He deserves more kudos. It can’t be forgotten what he did.
If the McDavid goal gets a Canada Post stamp, Binnington deserves the same for standing on his head when it mattered.
Also, Makar doesn't play for the bad guy USA team.
