I made a trip to downtown Vancouver yesterday after Canada clinched gold in men's hockey in an exciting overtime match against the Americans. To the Canadians the men's hockey event in the Olympics is like the hamburger in the happy meal. Needless to say, yesterday afternoon downtown Vancouver was swamped with excited, passionate, (lightly) intoxicated, patriotic hockey fanatics who were eager to show their support by screaming off the top of their lungs and then getting sh*t-faced.
I took a stroll amongst the crowd to inhale some of their enthusiasm for the Great White North and sat down at the back of the public library to make a few drawings -
I've never seen so many red shirts and Canadian flags in my life before.
About every two out of three people were wearing a red Canadian shirt.
This guy was wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey, too.
