~STORY OF THE WEEK~TEAM USA STUNS CANADA!

It is one thing to beat Canada at women's moguls, and to dominate the medals table while collecting snowboard and short-track baubles. It is quite another to manage what the U.S. hockey team accomplished Sunday night, to defeat Canada for the first time in half a century at the Olympics, in their own backyard, at the one thing they hold dearer than their public health system. This is heresy, which makes it all the more delicious. "I wish every game was like this," U.S. defenseman Jack Johnson said after the undefeated, Group-A champions from America had upset Canada, 5-3 - sending the home guys spiraling down into a qualifying play-in game against Germany and into unpleasant brackets from which they may never emerge.
