Let’s go Team USA!!

SOCHI, Russia — And so, the day of reckoning has finally arrived for the United States women’s hockey team. The hours, the days, the months, the years, all of the time spent on the ice, in airplanes, in hotels, in video sessions, preparing for this one magical game. Team USA vs. Team Canada, noon ET on Thursday. For Olympic gold. Just as it should be.

“We’ve worked four years for this one moment,” said forward Megan Bozek. “We’re right where we need to be. There’s 60 minutes left for us to achieve our dream.”

The long journey now seems so short.

“We’ve all taken the last eight months to prepare for this moment,” goalie Jessie Vetter said. “It’s crazy, it’s sports. It all comes down to one game.”

One game against their bitter rivals from north of the border.

“We wouldn’t want to face anyone else in the gold-medal game,” said forward Amanda Kessel. “They’re the defending Olympic champions so you want to play the best.”
