Except this team wasn't very good from the get go :lol: Considering really no-one expected that roster to medal before the Olympics this shouldn't really come as that big of a surprise to anyone  :lol:

Yikes....do you know anything about hockey?

As soon as the team was announced they were one of the teams favoured to medal. Not necessarily win gold, but come home with some sort of hardware.

I personally said that the US wouldn't win a medal and would finish fourth, but I was probably part of the few to think that.

back to back shutout L's to close out mens hockey, props to findland they honestly should be playing Canada in a rematch tomorrow IMO they were better then Sweden but a few costly errors.

To those who laughed when Canada almost lost to finland, this the world stage, this isnt some regular world championships, these teams want to win, every single team has a chance to win daily, Whether being the favorite or not.

Tough break for USA Hockey, They did have a good tournament ultimately they didn't have to play many tough opponents, the only one being Russia who even wasn't coached well.

I Believer even though Canada's adversity was really there own doing, not being able to finish or having puck luck, it has helped them in the long run playing a great well rounded defensive game.

I predict a lopsided game tomorrow, to many Canadians looking for big games, what better way to end the tournament then finally put the puck in the net, not having Zetterberg will pay in Canada's favor.

But yeah, this was the best team USA has had.

umm what?

oh nevermind you don't care about the olympics.

This team was supposed to medal.

10/23 of these analysts picked USA not to medal at all, 1 had gold, 2 had silver, the remaining 10 had bronze. So a little under half of the analysts picked USA not to medal.

Thank you to My boys @Merica and @Ragnar for the lovely sigs!

As a whole this roster finished right where they belong. They had the 4th best roster all together.
