The US is missing the one legit scorer....

if they had a Rick Nash (and he did score that goal earlier I don't care what they say) or someone like that, they'd be in great shape.

but they don't. They have good players, but they don't have that one go to guy....

The US just got screwed on a hand pass call too....

Actually, I'm not sure why the U.S. even uses NHL players. Last time I checked, the best American Olympic hockey of all time consisted of a bunch of college kids.

You could be right about that. I also think, though, that they've got very poor chemistry up front for this style of play. I don't like Tkachuk in the Olympics, and players like Guerin, Modano, and Weight are all over 35 years of age. They're going to wear down in a short tournament like this.

Team USA should be built around forwards like Gomez, Gionta, and Rolston (all drafted by the NJ Devils, coincidentally). They seem most at home in this type of game.
