The US hockey team has ended their 50-year losing streak against Canada by beating the Canadians today. The USA vs Canada hockey score is 5-3. With this win the US team is advancing to the quarterfinals of the winter games tournament. The Americans got the win because of Brian Rafalski who managed to score two goals. Rafalski is also responsible for setting up a third goal. US team goalie Ryan Miller also did a great job, he stopped a lot of goal attempts from Team Canada; it was 42 saves all in all that caused the Canadians to be silenced as the game progressed.
Now the US team is 3-0 in the 2010 Winter Olympics and are just waiting for the result of the Finland vs Sweden game. The outcome of the Finland-Sweden game could mean that the Team USA will be entering the quarterfinals as the top seed among all the teams.
The loss of Canada to USA today is considered as the biggest upset in the tournament but it is not the end for Canada yet, they only need to win their game on Tuesday to remain in the tournament and get the chance to meet the Americans again later.
