USA! USA! USA!

By Huddle Up Sports

Ok, the USA dominated the Olympics. That came as no shock. The highlight may have been the hockey, however. Here’s our take on it. Yes, it was hyped as David vs. Goliath again. And yes, it was quite a matchup USA vs. Canada. Let us just say game two was just as good and exciting as game one between the two. We’re giving USA all the credit in the world, maybe too much? Why would we say this? Yes, Canada had more talent, more NHL players on the team, but does that make Canada a better team? We don’t think so. Canada outplayed the USA by far, but somehow, they heavy underdogs hung in there, beating them once and taking the favorite to overtime a second time. Unfortunately, it almost seemed, as USA was content with just that-overtime. In the overtime they didn’t attack at all. They played not to lose and that may have been what cost them the Gold. We believe if they replayed this game 10 times, USA would win at least six of the ten. Canada may have been the favorite, but they may not have been as good as they were hyped up to be. We’re not taking anything away from the USA because they did indeed exceed expectations, and we’re excited about the Silver Medal and even if they win the Gold, it will never compare to the Miracle on Ice. Nothing will. It was quite an accomplishment nonetheless. They played great, and to US, that was the highlight of the entire Olympics. Congratulations to the Hockey team and ALL USA Olympians’. GREAT JOB!
