I can't find the exact link but I remember reading Parise saying something and this is a quote from Backes:
"You look at the opportunity we have in front of us, to win a gold medal. If all goes haywire, and we have a little snafu, we have a silver medal around our necks. We'd obviously love to have the gold. But either way, what pressure can you be under? You go out there and lay it on the line."
I shouldn't say they are HAPPY with the silver but they do not have any pressure as they weren't supposed to make it this far in the first place. Top 3 Teams going in were Russia/Canada/Sweden.
