huge, huge 7-4

Best game I’ve ever seen. I was worried deep into the third because of the USA’s valid complaint that Benn was back on the ice early, and arguably that technical error gave Canada the lead.  That goal could conceivably have been repealed.  We really needed to win by at least two for it to be [...]

what have we learned?

I don’t agree with every point, but Newsweek has an article worth considering on how America is to salvage its global image.  Here’s hoping it isn’t immediately dismissed because of the foreign authorship.

I have always been of the [...]
