USA Hockey Olympics

The USA hockey team was expected to medal this year in Sochi like they did 4 years ago in Vancouver. They started out well with a 7-1 victory over Slovakia. The win gave the Team confidence but it became apparent Slovakia wasn't very talented by loosing all four of their games. T.J. Oshie's shootout tied the Russia game 2-2 which kept the US in the Olympics.  In the game against Canada Brooks Orpik let Jamie Benn score which led to the 1-0 win for Canada. Finland shutout The US 5-0 in the semi-final game. After about forty minutes in the game it seemed like Team USA called it quits by having multiple dirty penalties. The USA was outmatched by the stronger teams and it seems that the players chosen for the team were the problem.
