So, USA's northern neighbor has an opportunity to put some shine on the nation' s image. The match up between the USA and the Canadians is being hyped as the "big Game" on the hockey ice in Milano, Italia.
The USA is the teamto beat and have given up the fewest points of any of the contenders. Switzerland's women's team edged out a strong Swedish team 1-0 to win the Bronze Medal. Sweden was the favorite to win a medal but they were bested by an aggressive group from the alpine redoubt.:
Then the USA hit the ice with high hopes. The Maple leaf representatives came out ready to show the audience they could meet and match everything the southerners could muster. The Canadians scored and went ahead in the first period 1-0. That would be the only score through the rest of the contest until the last 2 minutes. The USA scored the tying goal : now 1-1-OVERTIME.
Now the first score wins and in the fifth minute, USA player Keller put the puck in the net, game over. Gold to the USA.
