United States hockey team had a tough act to follow—and didn't By Doug Vaughan Of The Print “Miracle on Ice” 1984 was spoiled within the first two days of the Winter Olym pics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. But then who expected the Team USA to successfully de fend its 1980 hockey title. While talking about hockey, USA usually does not make the conversation. After all, its gold medal in ’80 was only the second for America. Proclaimed “Miracle on Ice,” the word miracle fits to a T. The Team USA went into the winter games actually thinking it had a shot at the gold. Contrary to its belief, its hopes were shot down just 27 seconds into the first game, as the Canadian team scored four goals leaving the Americans behind to pick up the pieces in a 4-2 defeat of the defending champs. Still, they thought, a chance at the gold was possi ble. Not wanting to disappoint their country, they were deter mined to get the gold. Going into the Olympics, The Americans knew that Canada, Czechoslovakia and CLASSIFIEDS AUTOMOBILES 1961 MERCEDES BENZ 220SE $1,500.00 or best offer, ext. 308 Finland were their top com petition to advance into the medal round. They had already lost to Canada. Their second game came against the Czechs. Conse quently it was their second loss, 4-1. The dream of a second miracle in succession took a drowning. The expectations, the promises and the hopes all gone to waste. What was the problem? Not enough preparation? Hardly. A 65-game pre Olympic schedule which in cluded seven games against National Hockey League teams, and a six-game series against the Soviet Select team were more than enough prac tice. How about inexperience? With a nucleus of three youngsters age 19, 18 and 17, some would be apt to believe this. Age doesn’t mean inex perience. The three young sters, referred to as the “Diaper Line”, led the Americans with 11 of the team’s 20 goals against the Soviet Select team in December. The Americans have a bit of everything, but not a lot of everything. They have got age, but still have youth. They have got a little bit of offense to go with a fair amount of defense. What’s the problem? America is not a powerhouse in the sport of hockey. Even after the Team USA lost its second straight in the games, it still felt it was not out of it. A February 10 article in The Oregonian quoted the team’s coach, Lou Vairo, as saying, “There is always a chance, anything can hap pen.” His hopes were still alive for an American showing in the medal round. To do this the Americans would have had to win their last three games, while Canada and Czechoslovakia would have had to lose two of their last three games. In result, the three would have all compiled 3-2 records. Sorry Lou. Americans want a dynas ty in hockey, but reality won’t give way. Some year hockey may be strong in America, but until then we should enjoy the miracles while they happen and not expect more.
