It was quite disappointing to watch both yesterday and today.

From 20 goals the first four games to Zero the last two.

As I posted on another thread, today's result wasn't a big surprise to a lot of folks who are familiar with how the U.S. plays in these Olympic tournaments.

They have a reputation for being a "Gold or nothing" team that quits and mails it in once they are eliminated from gold medal contention.

The performance from all the skating sports was down right embarrassing. I hope they got their participation awards.

I think Jonathan Quick was the U.S. player who said a couple of days ago that the USA-Canada game was the "real gold medal game" in these Olympics.

If that's true, then he's an A-hole and has no business criticizing anyone else for their effort.

The USA skaters were pathetic in the Canada game, they either mailed it in, or just didn’t have it. Quick kept them in the game, their performance was so poor I didn’t even make an attempt to see todays game.

“There’s no reason we show up and not piss a drop.”

What a strange turn of phrase.

These are all pros? Do all the Countries that are major contenders field all pro hockey teams?

Because I hate that.
