Hockey Canada has been desperately trying to locate the glove and stick that disappeared soon after Crosby scored last Sunday’s gold-medal-clinching goal in Vancouver.
“There is a slight chance we’ll find it,” said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada’s director of the men’s national team. “But at this point, we don’t have any really great leads. … We haven’t located it. It’s missing.”
However, officials are going through game video, photographs, put out calls and chased a handful of leads. And, once again, the search came up empty.
Apparently the aftermath of Crosby’s overtime goal against the United States was an unparalleled chaos. The equipment men went onto the ice once the goal was scored and began collecting all the helmets, gloves and sticks into plastic bins and then the equipment was then put back in each player’s stall.
Simple, right? Well, it did not quite work out as expected.
How does someone walk out of that arena and out into the crowded streets of Vancouver without anyone noticing they’re carrying a hockey stick and a glove belonging to Sidney Crosby?
This has to be an inside job!
