USA Rocks at Hockey in the Olympics

USA and Canada are beating so far all the teams at Hockey in the Olympics that are hosted right now at Vancouver. So far Canada has a winning record of 18-0 and USA has a winning record of 12-1. And while those numbers do lead to lots of goals, they also lead to something else: a very bored goaltender.

While Team USA sustains pressure in its offensive zone for minutes at a time, goaltender Jessie Vetter stands in her crease. Sometimes, she leans on her stick. Sometimes she leans against the crossbar. More often than not, she just stands, stick on the ice, glove hand tucked into her left hip.

"We've been seeing between 25 and 40 shots on goal in the games we've played against Canada leading up to the Olympics, and they throw everything at the net and like to swarm the net," says Team USA assistant coach Dave Flint, who works with the goalies. "What we've been trying to do these last few weeks is let the goalies see a lot of shots in practice and give them game situations in practice to keep them sharp."

Here we have the rest of the schedule for the rest of the Olympic period.

USA Hockey Team is showing it's strong side and that it has stamina to keep a high level of competition on what is left of the Olympics.
