Just warming up before meeting up with the red white and blue in the finals.
Seems the (lowly) Slovaks have 'dethrowned' the reigning Swedes for us last night. Pity.
Now we get to meet up with the Slovaks & you guys (U.S.A.) get the Finns in your semi-finals tomorrow.
In the meantime, this evening, the U.S.A. women get a gold medal workout
with from our (Canadian) women.
(BTW, it had been 50 years since the Canadian men had won a game against the Russians/Soviets at the Olympics. But if you'll pardon my boasting, we didn't beat 'em, we trounced 'em.)
