Silver on ice

After two weeks of competition, the one contest I would think most people were waiting for, will happen in Sunday's men's hockey gold medal final between the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. beat the host Canadians 5-3 in a preliminary-round game earlier this week.

Don't expect a repeat.

Canada is bigger, stronger, faster and better than its American counterparts and now it has a chip on its shoulder after its loss to the U.S.

The Americans have had quite a run, getting to the gold medal game and if you would've asked most hockey fans, I don't think many would've predicted the U.S. would be playing for gold.

Unless something unforeseen happens, the Americans will have to settle for silver.
