Egland scores Teddy Bear Toss goal but Pats lose in OT

Over 3,000 stuffed animals were tossed onto the ice.
When Saskatchewan’s Mark McMorris guested on the Green Zone little more than a year ago to discuss his snowboarding career and fundraising events, he left his cellphone charging on a table.
A little sheepishly, McMorris later used a friend’s phone to call his cell. Where did he leave it? Could he come and pick it up?
Sure. After hanging up we chuckled, thinking “He’s really nice. And still such a kid.”
A few months later, we agonized as he recovered from life-threatening injuries in a back-country boarding accident. And we watched in awe this weekend as he graciously, tenaciously, unbelievably, won another Olympic medal in his favourite sport. And we realized he’s not a kid at all. He’s one of the most courageous, admirable young men we’ve ever met.
