The U.S. men’s hockey team held off the powerful host Canadians to earn a bye to Wednesday’s quarterfinals. It marks the first time the United States has beaten Canada in a men’s Olympic hockey game since 1960 in Squaw Valley, where the Americans stole a gold medal from the favored Canadians and Russians.
“I still think we’ve got a long way to go,” Team USA coach Ron Wilson cautioned. “There are some great teams out there.”
He cited Canada as a team he thinks is still the best in the tournament despite the American’s win, which forced the disappointed hosts into a qualifying game against Germany on Tuesday.
Wilson might be right.
You know I don’t really like the Olympics. I ignore them. I am put off by the constant scandal, the nationalism and the tawdry medal count.
WWE, then?
