Watch: Rob Ford, Other Canadian Fans Go Crazy Over Women's Hockey Gold Medal

In the aftermath of the Canadian women's hockey team's come-from-behind 3-2 overtime win against Team USA in the gold-medal match Thursday at the Sochi Olympics, there were endless videos popping up on the Internet and social media showing celebrations.

One of the best involves the reaction of Rob Ford, the eccentric, opinionated Toronto mayor who's made the news for a variety of reasons that endear him to the social media crowd and blogosphere. Here's a slow-motion video of his excitement.
