GOLD MEDALS IN THE SAME OLYMPICS. THE GOLDEN GOAL BROUGHT FANS TO THEIR FEET AT PRIMANTI BROTHERS IN MOUNT LEBANON. THE RESTAURANT OPENED EARLY JUST FOR TODAY’S GAME, AND TEAM USA DID NOT DISAPPOINT. LOOK AT THAT CROWD. SOME TELL US THEY DIDN’T WANT TO ROOT AGAINST SIDNEY CROSBY, BUT WITH SID INJURED AND OUT OF THE GAME, THEIR ALLEGIANCE TURNED TO THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE. IT’S TOUGH WATCHING HIM GET HURT, BUT WE GOT TO HAVE NHL PLAYERS GO TO THE OLYMPICS. THAT’S JUST GOING TO HAPPEN SOMETIMES AND I JUST HOPE HE RESTS UP AND HE GETS GOOD FOR WHEN THE PENGUINS COME BACK. SIDNEY CROSBY SCORED THE GOLDEN GOAL IN THE 2010 VANCOUVER GAMES
