The U.S. men's hockey team lost in crushing fashion on Wednesday, falling in a penalty shot shootout. Team USA had been one minute away from advancing to the Olympic semifinals — but Slovakia came back to force overtime in the final minute of regulation.
"It's pretty hard to describe right now," U.S. captain Andy Miele said of the loss, thinking of the chances his young team had to continue its run at the Beijing Olympics.the U.S. has sent to the Olympics in decades, with an average age around 25. All of its members are current or former college players — more than half are now in college.
"It finds Nick Abruzzese who applies the final touch with a quick stick deke to put it through the goalie's five-hole. A majestic team goal, great play." The U.S. called on goalie Strauss Mann to make a variety of saves — and time after time, he delivered. In the second period alone, he saved 13 of 13 shots on goal.
