It's gold Jerry.
Russia, Canada, Finns, = 0 Even Strength Goals.
Bobby Ryan can't spell intense, neither can any other American forwards.

Was having this conversation in the other thread before it was locked.
Call me a Cally hater, because I am. Can't wait 'til we trade him.
BUT, I respect the hell out of that. I bet his teammates did, too.
Name on the front. He plays for the USA right now, and he proved there he's going to play until the buzzer. If he did that for the Rangers, you'd love it. He did for team USA, the team I'm rooting for now, so I love it.

Interesting to see how the American players react when they get back to NHL play. Are they pissed and go for it, or do they go into the dumps after their disappointing (to say the least) results in their last 2 games.

Pathetic last two games for the USA. Terrible job by Byslma to adjust to how teams were pressuring the puck carrier and collapsing to the front of the net. What an embarrassment

A lot of the questionable decisions came back to haunt Team USA. Bylsma, Orpik, not enough firepower or skill, leaving off players having great years in favor of others due to reputation. I'd like to know what moron was responsible for giving Brown the "A," he's such a great leader that he had to benched/demoted in two medal round elimination games.

lol No I wouldn't... if the Rangers are looking to trade him I don't want him laying out for that incase he gets hurt. end of story
now if he was a Ranger for another couple seasons before they were looking to trade him then I would agree with you 100%.
Stepan will likely have a complete let down. I blame him solely for the letdown of this USA team.
In all honesty though, I don't think we have to worry about our 3 Rangers guys. Some of the ones on the other teams, I might be, but for us, I think Stepan it doesn't affect (does it matter) and Cally/McD are both those kind of guys who just play as hard as they can every game. It's wired in them.

No question about it now, this team completely choked. Blew 2 medal chances in 24 hours without scoring a goal. USA hockey needs to take a long hard look at itself from the top down. This olympics has been a complete failure.

Brooks Orpik sums up these Olympics with that whiff.
Big changes need to be made in USA hockey. Develop quality centers and find someone who isn't named Dan Bylsma.
