Really what the US needed in this game is Ondrej Pavelec to gift them 3 quick goals to get them comfortable.

Really, if the Czechs had an even acceptable goalie no one would have been talking about the US as an offensive juggernaut going into the semifinal.

The States need to clean house in terms of upper management. I don't understand this fetish for truculence that USA hockey has, which causes pylons like Orpik to make the team over players like E Johnson, J Johnson or Yandle.

European teams like Sweden and Finland seem to do pretty well despite choosing the most skilled players available.

They'll clean house alright.

RIP 1998-2014

Burke was in charge for the 2010 team and they got silver.

Poile is in charge of the 2014 team, and it looks like no medal for them.

But sure, time to let go of Burke.

Not even blaming Burke, the majority of the blame goes to Poile, Shero and Bylsma as they had the final say.
