"Hockey Battle Across the Border" - by Kristy

Team USA shocks Canada stealing a big win last night. The border of Canada and United States holds quite a rivalry when it comes to ice hockey and last night that rivalry competed on the Olympic stage. It wasn't an elimination round, but you could feel the tension as the teams competed for their countries.

Both rosters are made up entirely of National Hockey League superstars. Team Canada was the heavily favored team going into the game, being that their team had the most skill as well as experience. Team USA had skill, but were unquestionably the underdog coming into the game. However the young USA team, with an average age of 26, prevailed and won the game 5-3.

  1. I love this post, because It's hockey. However, I never understood why our own media thought we were these miraculous underdogs. People who actually watch hockey knew it was going to be tough for Team USA, but by no means would it be a "miracle" or "shocking" victory if we won. Oh well, here's to (hopefully) Olympic Gold!
