I'm not terribly surprised, actually. They bombed Germany, but the Slovak game was close on the scoreboard (if not the shot clock), they needed a shootout against Finland and were handily outplayed by Canada. For all the pre-tournament hype, the Americans simply didn't bring much to this event this year.
