Good U.S. hockey win, but no Miracle on Ice
The ice at Canada's Hockey Place had barely been cleared, and Jim Craig was already offering a special. Had to, because big U.S. hockey wins only come around so often. Big anniversaries, too.
Did the Canadian hockey celebration go too far?
The Canadian women's hockey team is taking criticism from the IOC for their behavior on the ice after capturing the gold medal in Thursday. Was the celebration too much?
