I like hockey. Always have. But I like watching hoops and football more. But I got to tell you one thing. There is nothing. I repeat, nothing more nerve-racking or exciting than a "hockey shootout " in a big, meaningful game.
Today's excitement felt like the 1980 Olympics . Of course now, the US Team is filled with top-notch NHL talent. The Russians of course, as well.
So today's game ends tied. Still tied after the overtime. So we fast forward to the shootout. Tied after 3 shots. We go to extra's . Finally and dramatically, TJ Oshie , who takes the American's last 5 shots, converts in the eighth round to win it for Team USA ! A "nail-biter " extraordinaire. Oshie converts 4-6 shots in the shootout!! Un-real. All I can say is ......
USA. USA. USA..........Not even the medal rounds yet.
