Slovak hockey supremacy confirmed against the US


WOOT! WOOT! Slovakia knocks the US for a loop in a 2-1 victory this afternoon! From Sports Illustrated:
Slovakia (3-0) strengthened its first-place hold in the Olympics Group B, moving two points ahead of Russia and Sweden and three in front of the Americans (1-1-1). The top four in the six-team group move on to the quarterfinals...(Highlights from the first goal)...

Hossa got away from Craig Conroy along the right-wing boards and cut into the right circle. Once he had space and a good angle, he let a shot fly that got between DiPietro's pads.

That sent the chanting, horn-blowing and music-playing fans dressed in red, white and blue -- the Slovakian kind -- into a roaring frenzy.

I am excited about this. It really looks like this Slovak team could be a gold meadal contender this year. Also here is the link to the full story about the Slovakia-Russia game.
