US Team on Record Medal Pace!

Wow...what a weekend for the US athletes! The ski team is on fire. Eight medals already I think. Bode Miller is back and has won 3 medals in 3 races. Vonn and Mancuso have been doing a great job on the women's side and really pulling in the medals. 24 medals for the entire US Winter team so far. We won 25 total in Torino in 2006. The really huge news was men's hockey. USA vs Canada. Honestly, Canada really outplayed and out shot us but US goaltender Ryan Miller was outstanding in net. This advances US to the semi-final round. Canada will have to play a sudden death game vs Germany to stay alive in the tournament. I think this is the first time the US has beat Canada in an Olympic Hockey game in 50 years! We have some more great skiing coming up later this week and the women's Hockey team made it to the finals earlier today with a 9-0 victory over Sweden. They will likely play Canada who is playing Finland tonite.
