Humbly report, Bill, replay - wish you could have seen it:
Was 1:1, went into overtime - nothing.
So, shootout. Each side gets to shoot five times. One skater, one goalie. We snuck one in, but Hasek was a WALL!
So, final score: 2:1 Czechs!
And I sure hope we get to play the Russians for the gold! Czechoslovakia kicked their butts many many times (notably right after the 1968 invasion, boy was THAT ever a celebration!), but the Czechs alone - never for the gold!
I remain, humbly dreaming of the big CZECH one for the first time, by the mail slot of the FBN mail room, virtually near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for me, yours truly, on cloud nine,
