While you have been working, others have been out of the ice, hitting
one another and pucks, thrillingly sticking frill-clad backsides out,
following heaved pieces of polished granite in their journeys toward
the house.
Here's a brief summary of what I have learned from newspaper reports
and listening to the t.v.
An Oregonian article titled "Loss to Sweden Exposes the Need for
Leadership" says the U.S. women, who won a Bronze medal, but not Gold,
took the blow hard, but shook their coach's hand and hugged in mid ice.
The article explains that an upset can make a team fall apart or get
stronger, so all of the Americans had to be there for each other,
ignore the white elephant in the middle of the room, and focus on the
game. This is difficult.
