R.I.P. Dream Team

As an avid hockey fan I have seen some major upsets over the course of my life. The "miracle on ice" that occurred at Lake Placid was a moment for the ages. We have seen the Czechs pull off a huge upset at Nagano, stunning the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut known as "Team Canada." Many touted the Canadians to be the dream team. The Canadians ended up leaving Nagano empty-handed. Heck, just a few weeks ago, the junior Canadian hockey team's dominance came to an end as Team USA brought home the gold. With all of these upsets happening left-and-right, one can't help but wonder what Vancouver will bring. Will Canada be able to salvage their pride and their reputation by bringing Gold to native soil? Having Crosby on the team helps, but will he suffice? Brodeur seems to be playing some of his best hockey as of late, so that may help. We won't know until the games begin, but lets hope that this year's hockey championship ends with all blades blazing.
