Attending the Olympics has been on your list for years and you keep talking yourself out of it. Too far, too expensive, too hard to build a trip around real life. You don't need two weeks or a perfectly mapped itinerary. You need one focused week and a clear idea of what you actually want to see. The halfpipe looks like a video game until someone is flying ten feet above your head.

 

The Finland game was the one. Canada went down 1-0, gave up a shorthanded goal on the power play, and the Finnish fans, outnumbered four to one, were somehow louder than everyone else in that building. McKinnon scored and the atmosphere turned over completely. Cellebrini possible offside? Jaime's only thought during that two-minute wait: he's 19 years old, and if they call it back, the whole country blames him.

 

What the broadcast never shows is what happens after the horn. Jaime had beers with the Finnish fans when it was done and says they were a hoot. He found out Canada lost the gold medal game from a stranger who walked out of an airplane bathroom and announced it to the entire cabin. He'd do it again without a second thought.
