TORONTO - Hockey fans can now touch the puck Sidney Crosby used to score his golden goal at the Vancouver Olympics.

Paul Henderson, who scored the winner in the 1972 Summit Series, was the first to officially put a finger on the piece of rubber after the display was opened at the Hockey Hall of Fame this morning.

Crosby's puck has been at the Hall since March and will be available for the public to touch through the summer.

It is being housed in a case with five open holes along the top.

The puck made its way to the Hockey Hall of Fame by way of Finnish linesman Stefan Fonselius, who retrieved it after Crosby beat Ryan Miller to give Canada a 3-2 win over the U.S. in the Olympic gold-medal game.

True, but then some idiot once paid $93,000 for the baseball that rolled through Bill Buckner's legs in the 86 World Series.
