U.S. stuns Canada 5-3 in hockey
A. Isaac Let’s just do a quick recap of what’s happened to Canada in the last few weeks.
-There are questions about a bobsled/luge track that seems to be fast and unsafe. In a practice run, an Olympic luger from Georgia dies. before the Olympics even start.
-Trying to match past opening ceremony galas, Canada calls on some of their greatest athletes to light a torch that would be lit for 4 columns. One of the columns needed Viagra however because it couldn’t “rise to the occasion” leaving the athletes looking dumbfounded for several minutes
-Canada bragged about “owning the podium” in their home country. Currently, they’re well behind the top three in fourth place and only lead several countries by 1 medal
-In the most anticipated event of the Olympics thus far, an event which 26 million Canadians were supposedly watching, the hockey team dropped a home game to the United States 5-3.
That’s a bad stretch to say the least. While Canada and the U.S. have just as much NHL power on their respective rosters, the Canadians are sporting a better team and arguably have the best player in the game with Sidney Crosby. But they’ve been flat thus far in these Olympic games needing overtime to beat a lowly Swiss team and now losing a game they were heavily favored in.
Last night, USA goalie Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres was nothing short of brilliant making 42 saves in an enormous US victory. And Canadian fans, they’re taking it really hard. Even, in some cases, resorting to “We have health care, you don’t” jokes.
Weak sauce, Canada. Weak sauce. And just to rub it in, here’s a gallery of some of your brethren enduring the loss last night.
