Wilsoned
The United States hockey team was Wilsoned last night. Tied 1-1 late in the game, Ron Wilson failed to realize that his worst defensive pair (and I mean by far) was Brian Leetch and Aaron Miller and kept throwing them out there. It happened once too often as a Finnish player, in nightmare fashion, camped on the back door for 8-10 seconds while no one bothered to cover him allowing him to dunk the game winning goal while the goaltender, Robert Esche desperately tried to throw himself across to the puck.
It was a good effort in this tournament, but managing 15 shots is a sure sign that we must move to some younger players if we want to compete in the 2006 olympics.
