Gold Medal Drama Building at Olympics

Canada could win the outright gold medal race but they may need the men's ice hockey gold to do it.

At the time of writing the collective Canadian Olympic team has 10 gold medals and they lead the Germans in the race for the most gold medals at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Maybe Canada wins gold in men's curling tomorrow and maybe the Germans win another medal elsewhere as well.  But whatever happens, would it not add extra pressure to the ice hockey final for Canada to play the USA with not only the pressure to bring home gold in hockey but to possibly give Canada the lead or a share of the lead in the gold medal count?

The drama is building and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics may have a fairy tale ending for Canada, but only if Team Canada can beat the USA in the finals for ice hockey - the last event of the 2010 Olympics.
