Well, true, they did beat Switzerland, or Sweden, or whoever it was 9-0 the other day. Don't know what their problem with Canada is, but they were not good today. Final score may have ended up 3-2 (that second goal coming with a pulled goalie), but the way Canada was shooting, without some lucky as hell stops by the US goalie, it easily could have been 5-2.

As for the rest of the Olympics, I just haven't been that impressed with the US athletes. Even in the events we're expected to take gold in (a couple of the skiing events, ski jumping and snowboarding, we've done poorly. Shaun White couldn't even medal at all yesterday in half-pipe, which he was apparently the favorite for gold.
