USA thru to medal round in hockey

BTW - not all that surprised that the Russian team crumbled under the pressure - they have the superstar power, but they only play for themselves - just like they do on their respective NHL teams. Eastern European players are generally very selfish and rarely play with much heart unless there is something in it for them.


I'm hoping to see a USA/Canada gold medal game - that would be epic. Canada's definetly got the skill, but the US team isn't a bunch of slackers, and what they lack in raw skill, they make up in heart and passion. Either way, I don;t see it a blow out in any direction - a close, physical game.

Just got to get by the Fins and Slovaks first - no easy task.
