Olympic Games

The United States is doing great in the Olympics so far. With 28 metals total we hold first place. Now everyone knows we are amazing at hockey. The long hours that teams put into practice. But when you combine all that together into one team, of the best players in the United States, you can say it’s not an option to lose. So the United States hockey team is already in the semi finals. They have beaten Canada and Switzerland. The United States has not beaten Canada in hockey in the Olympics in sixty years. That ended. Now it is time for the United States to step up and continue to win.

The team’s roster consists of twice the amount of people on a regular hockey team. And you all want to know how many are from Detroit right? Sadly, Brian Rafalski stands alone to make his mark for the red wings. Also he was invited to the Team USA summer orientation. But that’s a whole other story. After defeating Canada, I was shocked. The place where hockey is a religion basically was beat. But Canada is still in the semi finals along with the United States. And now onto Switzerland.

This game was cool. I was sitting at home finishing up my homework, and my little brother turned on the last two periods of the game. At 11.3 seconds, the United States put it away for another win by only two goals. One of which was an open net. I did not see this but I have heard about a huge collision between two of the players. From the way it was told it sounded so cool! I’m sorry but I love games with big hits and fights. After the first goal my friend freaked out. But then he got a little worried because they could catch up. Then Switzerland pulled their goalie. And that just about did it. All we needed was a fast break or a shot. And that’s when we got put up to the semi finals.

Now tell me, do you think Finland is scared? Or even ready to play the United States? Because I don’t. I think we have the ability to go all the way to the finals and win. Not to criticize or say they are bad, I just think the United States is a better team. On the twenty sixth, will start the semi finals, hopefully ending well for the United States.
