A Beautiful Sight
Yes! Yes! Yes! There is a god and she wears a Swedish women's hockey jersey. I just saw the Americans go down to defeat at the hands of the Swedes. Final score 3-2 for the Swedish women. They won the game in a shoot-out following a ten minute overtime period during which the Yanks were unable to gain the upper hand.
The Swedes now go on to the final match, knowing that at best they will take gold and 'at worst' will have to settle for nothing less than silver. They have never before done better than the bronze in international play.
Earlier this week, Canada's Hayley Wickenheiser said she was sure her team were unlikely to find themselves facing the ladies of the red, white and blue. Everyone thought she was nuts. Maybe not, eh? Maybe the yanks are not quite the juggernaut they assumed themselves to be, after all.
