Team USA Hold Your Heads High 10
Ryan Miller was the Hockey Tournament MVP.
The Men’s USA Hockey team fell short in their quest for Gold losing 3-2 in overtime.
There was no Miracle On Ice or Squaw Valley.
However, this team has NO REASON to hang their heads.
No one gave them a shot at a medal. No one gave them a shot to beat Canada in their first matchup.
But that’s what America is all about.
No one gives us a chance but we always rise to the occasion.
We always rally around each other.
We always bounce back.
Team USA trailed 2-0 going into the second period and cut the lead to one. U.S. Goalie Ryan Miller was all world in this tournament and he kept his team in it yet again.
The Americans continued to attack and pressure the talented Canadian team. Team Canada netminder, Roberto Luongo looked shaky and let up rebound after rebound.
The clock worked against the Americans as they trailed by one with less than two minutes left. They could have mailed it in. They could have conceded to the country that invented the sport.
However, Americans don’t quit or give up, we persevere.
And persevere they did.
