A coach that only started coaching 10 minutes into the game, not a week ago. Benching the captain halfway through the game, having volunteers instead of professionals organizing the entire effort, like you said having 40+ year old player(s), no goalie rotation, and I'm sure tons of other stuff. The USA is a maked team in international competitions that everybody wants to beat. You just can't afford off nights or less than 100% effort.dggoddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745826019598020062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-1140664647956751572006-02-22T20:17:00.000-07:002006-02-22T20:17:00.000-07:00I am actually more depressed today than I was in 2...I am actually more depressed today than I was in 2002 when the USA got second. The tops teams that I like didn't show up. I love USA hockey but they are just depressing. I think its time to go with a younger crowd of players in the olympics.Eric J.

It would be just like the NHLer's to put in the absolute minimum effort before punching the accelorator.<BR/><BR/>Of course this is the league that brought you the longest stike in sports history, so if anyone can kill the sport of hockey in the United States, these guys are more than qualified.dggoddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745826019598020062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-1140566156108197592006-02-21T16:55:00.000-07:002006-02-21T16:55:00.000-07:00Now their record is 1-3-1 not very good if you ask...Now their record is 1-3-1 not very good if you ask me.

I think they can beat them if they keep buzzing the net and play good team defense. They will have to shut down Malkin and Ovechkin if they want to win.Eric J.
