The United States team of young NHL players held off a furious onslaught from Canada's older NHL players and secured the top seed in the medal round of the Olympic hockey tournament. Thanks mostly to goalie Ryan Miller's 42 saves, the US won 5-3. According to experts (in this case me) the top teams in the tournament are in no particular order, the US, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Russia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Thanks to finishing as the #1 overall seed, the US can theoretically advance to the gold medal game having played only, well "only", the winner of Finland versus (presumably) the Czech Republic. To see Ryan Kesler's spectacular game-icing, empty net goal go here. Note that you'll have to install Microsoft's peeping tom flashlight or something like that.
