GOLD!!!!!!!!
In the beginning they were the underdogs! USA was the favourite followed closely by the Russians. Through grit and determination the Americans were taken care of in the round robin portion of the tournament. Tonight in the BIG GAME, it was the Russian's turn. With overwhelming fire power, unbelievably punishing defence and stellar goaltending silenced all critics and captured gold in an astonishing 5-0 win.
WELL DONE BOYS!! WELL DONE!!!
Congratulations to the Russians, they played hard and displayed awesome skill. It was very evident that these players are young. Many of the Russian players including their star Malkin and the goal came to tears after the game. Words of encouragement ring hollow for them right now...losing this game sucks! Period. Many of these players have bright careers ahead of them. In 10 years, a silver medal in this tournament will be a badge of honour!
