Official Team USA Olympic Thread

Won't lie, as patriotic and borderline nationalistic as I might appear right now, I don't have a good feeling about our guys in Sochi. We don't tend to do well overseas, and this is probably the most intimidating atmosphere possible. Hope I'm wrong tho.

I think we are in good shape. This year we have 12 players on the roster with Olympic experience. Last Olympics, we had 20 players playing in their first Olympics. I think with the leadership we have we will be able to be successful no matter the atmosphere.

You make a good point, hopefully you're right.

Don't be nervous, I'm sure once they get settled in it will be just as easy to trash the hotel rooms as it would be back home

The trashing of the hotel rooms is just a byproduct of our problems overseas IMO. The greater problem lies much deeper than that

Look at these Canadians...so confident...so arrogant. BRRRrrrRRRING IT!

Just played USA vs Canada on NHL 14, USA won 5-3, so mwahahahahahahahahaha

Just hope they can at least repeat the same success they had the last time making it to the gold medal game and all.

I think it's pretty safe to say canada has the best team just looking at the roster. That said, I think they did in Vancouver as well. It took overtime to beat us and that was with what I would imagine is a much bigger home ice advantage. We won't see crowds like that in Sochi, and the Canadians won't have nearly as much support behind them.

Sort of off topic, but I was playing as Norway on NHL 14 and scored in droves with Zuccarello.
