Settling for Silver

We are depressed here in my hometown of Plover, Wisconsin.  Team USA’s hockey team lost the gold medal to Canada.  It sucks.  Big time.  Here in Plover it was more than just watching a hockey game.  Joe Pavelski, Plover native and former SPASH (my alma mater) hockey team member, was on the US team.

Joe is a San Jose Shark who was chosen earlier this year to play in Vancouver for the 2010 USA Hockey Olympic team.  Our city was immersed in hockey, hockey, hockey for the last few weeks.  You can imagine the sadness we are feeling right now.  The boys played well and a silver medal is still pretty darned awesome.

It’s pretty solemn over here.  Team USA, you did well…
