Should I keep watch this game? Clearly this team doesn't care anymore and maybe I shouldn't either.

It's still worth watching imo, if they are going too come back it's gonna be in the 3rd. Maybe the anger from that disallowed goal will push them a bit more.

The first minute of the 3rd is gonna be very telling. I'd give us a 10% chance of getting 2 in the last 20. And that's being nice since this team is better than what we are seeing.

What happened to USA's offense? It was dynamite earlier in the tournament... peaked too early I guess.

I really think yesterday's loss killed any drive or emotion that this team had. I mean a lot of the guys on the team had been waiting 4 years to get back at Canada and they lost again. They couldn't even muster to get a single goal. A lot of these guys look like they've checked out mentally.

Yup, has everything to do with yesterdays failure.
 
Gotta chuckle at the fact that we've called Brown out as a player who should be benched, and we see it happening now on another team. What does that tell you about him?
 
It's not as if Finland didn't have a heartbreaking loss against their biggest rivals yesterday too. They seem motivated enough.
 
Surprised that Quick is playing, should have given it to Miller cos of b2b (since miller is the best goalie in the world!!!)

Beating Canada meant the world to a lot of these players. They didn't do it. I think a little bit of each of these guys died a little yesterday. Also, Finns get up more than Americans do in International Competition anyways.
 
I guess the secret is to bring your best offensive talent, not dipsticks like Orpik, and how the **** Brown or Wheeler get picked over Ryan is beyond me. You can't win 0-0.

I would love nothing more than to see none of these guys brought back in 2018, if NHL players are allowed.
 
It's like they have the attitude of "We have no chance of winning the gold so who gives a **** about the bronze". Saw it with Canada in Nagano as well. Dissapointed in this effort. I thought they would at least put forth a respectable effort.
 
Just a total choke job from the USA. Not even worth arguing who should and shouldn't have made it. They had the skill in the lineup to atleast medal and they go home with nothing.

Kane
Pavelski
Kessel
Kesler
Parise
JVR
Pacioretty
Oshie (was totally useless outside of the shootout vs. Russia)

Talent like this and you can't even score a goal. It's pathetic.
