U.S. hockey loses shot at medal
Czech Republic blocks goals of 'dream team'
The Associated Press
NAGANO, Japan — Stunned and embarrassed, angry and beaten, one by one the National Hockey League millionaires peeled off their Team USA jerseys and
USA jerseys and packed for home.
"I'm sure I'm going to be apologizing for a long time. I'm sure we're going to hear about it for a
long time," Mike Modano said. "That part is going to be tough to deal with, but what's done is done."
What is done is the U.S. Olympic hockey team, the dream team of dream teams, the team that beat Canada in the 1996 World Cup. A team that could not miss, but it did.
Six 50-goal scorers and 17 other NHL stars were not enough to stop the Czech Republic and were beaten 4-1 yesterday during the quarterfinals of the first Olympic tournament featuring NHL players.
John LeClair, the NHL's second-leading goal-scorer who was shut in four Olympic games, said the team just did not play hard enough.
There was no way to excuse it, and no one tried.
"I don't see how anybody can go home and say we gave it our best
Brett Hull said, "The pressure was there, no question. But we should thrive on that; we're professional athletes."
shot." he said.
The same Team USA that was expected to emerge with a gold medal — or at least silver — instead heads home in sixth place
"It was the biggest waste of time — ever," said Keith Tkachuk, U.S. alternate captain.
They are not just professional athletes. They are the best.
"We deserve to be out of it. We didn't play well from the start... This is awful. It is devastating. From the opening shot, we weren't (good) enough to do anything. We were just a big disappointment."
The U.S. team finished 1-3 and was outscored 12-4 by the only three good teams it faced. Now, the record medalless run extends to five Olympics. The U.S. team has not won so much as a bronze since the 1980 Miracle on ice gang captured gold in Lake Placid.
The U.S. players took 39 shots at Czech goalie Dominik Hasek, but only Modanok could score. They made defensive mistakes that led to three goals. And they did not get enough clutch saves by Mike Richter to give themselves a chance to defeat Hasek.
Like an octopus in a goalie's mask,
Hasek seemingly had eight padded limbs. Flopping and scrambling,
jumping and lunging, he was almost impossible to beat from any angle.
"Our big guns couldn't find a way to score," U.S. coach Ron Wilson said. "When you outshoot teams, it's a matter of finishing your opporrew picked the Czech Republic team as a serious gold medal contender, but it is 3-1, a lone loss coming 2-1 to Russia in round-robin play.
The loss came one day after the U.S. women's hockey team won the sport's first Olympic gold medal by beating Canada 3-1. Many of the women were in the stands to watch the men play, and like most of the pro-American crowd at Big Hat Arena, they filed out in stunned silence at game's end.
When it was done, Tony Amonte broke his stick over the boards and flipped it onto the ice. Heads bowed, the U.S. players shook their opponents' hands and dejectedly left the ice.
"Everybody's shocked and disapointed," Modano said. "A lot of guys are frustrated, thinking it was a waste of time ... to come over here at all."
What if the team had tried just a little harder to win the round-robin games that established the quarterfinal matchups? One more victory ... and they would have avoided Hasek.
"We came here with expectations of gold," Wilson said. "It's something that will always be in the back of your mind: What if?"
U. S. captain Chris Chelios said the team needed to have played better during the preliminary round to get a higher quarterfinal seed.
Hasek, MVP in the NHL last season, has won three Vezina trophies as the league's top goalie. Using his unique scrambling style, he has allowed only five goals during the Olympics.
"If we had finished higher and peppered Finland with (39) shots, I don't think we would have lost," Chelios said.
Seeking its first medal since the split of Czechoslovakia after the 1992 Olympics, the Czech Republic will meet either Canada or Kazakhstan in tomorrow's semifinals.
So instead of parlaying some of the world's best talent into the international hockey world's biggest prize, the U.S. players walked out of the Big Hat for the last time with sadness in their eyes and sorrow in their voices.
"Some people took it for granted that things were going to be easier." Modano said. "Now, it seems like it's over before we ever got started."
Toronto trade takes Celtics players
Raptors grab guards Billups and Brown with negotiations
The Associated Press
TORONTO — The beleaguered Toronto Raptors continued their trading binge Tuesday, making a seven-player deal with the Boston Celtics in which they rid themselves of unhappy guard Kenny Anderson.
The Raptors also sent center Zan Tabak and forward Popeye Jones to the Celtics for guards Chauncey Billups and Dee Brown and forwards John Thomas and Roy Rogers.
Anderson, acquired in the blockbuster trade last week for
star guard D am on Stoudamire, had refused to report to Toronto, a franchise troubled by front-office instability and an 11-40 record.
Billups, the key for Toronto, was

points per game for Boston.
"I'm very excited," Brown said.
"Hopefully, I can help the Raptors get turned around in the right direction."
Rogers, who started his NBA career with the Vancouver Grizzlies, has played in only nine games this season, averaging less than a point per game (0.8). Thomas was averaging 3.3 points per game during his rookie season.
Raptors general manager Glen Grunwald described Thomas as a
dark horse in the deal and raved about the potential of Billups.
"I think we have a very bright future now." Grunwald said.
Anderson, a former all-star, is the key for the Celtics even though he has struggled this season. He averaged 12.6 points and 5.4 assists per game for Portland.
Jones and Tabak are both on the disabled list. Jones has played only 14 games this season, averaging 8.5 points. Tabak was averaging 6.4 points.
The trade means only seven Raptors remain from the team that started the season: guard Doug Christie, who has asked to be traded; Sharone Wright, who has been on the injury list all season; Camby; rookie Tracy McGrady; Shawn Respert; John Wallace; and Chris Garner.
Steffi Graf wins first singles match since knee injury
Tennis great wins comeback match
The Associated Press
"I'm not happy with everything today, but I clearly have the feeling I can make it," said Graf, whose injuries forced her to delay her comeback five times and led to speculation she would never return.
HANOVER, Germany — Showing no signs of the knee injury that threatened to end her career, Steffi Graf made a successful singles comeback yesterday.
Graf, who held the world's top ranking a record 374 weeks, had tested the knee in a doubles victory Monday, her first match since a June 3 loss to Amanda Coetzer of
South Africa at the French Open.
In her first singles match in more than eight months, Graf defeated German compatriot Andrea Glass 6-4, 6-2 in the second round of the $450,000 Faber Grand Prix.
She struggled with her backhand at times and piled up numerous unforced errors against Glass, ranked 95th in the world. At the start of the second set, Graf threw her racket in frustration.
"I know I can play better — I made a lot more errors than in practice." Graf said.
"I don't care who I play," Graf said. "I'm just happy to be back. I've worked hard for this."
But she still won in 64 minutes as 4,000 spectators stomped their feet and cheered wildly after match point.
Graf will face a tougher opponent in the quarterfinals — Sabine Appelmans of Belgium, ranked 24th.
The seventime Wimbledon champion had her left leg surgically repaired, for torn cartilage and a ruptured patella shortly after losing to Coetzer, then underwent intensive therapy. Until two months ago, Graf said she

wasn't sure her knee would allow a comeback.
In Graf's absence, a new generation of players, led by top-ranked Martina Hingis of Switzerland, has taken over the game. But Graf, winner of 21 Grand Slam titles,
"The knee is in very good shape after the operation, but it will never be perfect," Graf said.
said she still burned with the ambition that helped make her the world's top player.
"If I didn't have that ambition, I shouldn't have come back," she said.
Despite letting a 5-2 lead nearly slip away during the first set, as her backhand errors mounted, Graf moved easily around the court and flashed the powerful forehand that once dominated women's tennis.
"She made a lot of mistakes, which is normal after eight months," Glass said. "But I think she can get a lot better fast."
The victory against Glass added to an emotional week for Graf. On Monday, she fought off tears before playing the doubles match when she received a standing ovation from the fans.
Graf is seeded second because of a special WTA ruling. She is now ranked 49th in the world.
