A terrible effort from the Americans who were outworked by Russia for nearly the entire 60 minutes. That's what stings the most, a North American team shouldn't look nearly as physically weak as the USA did. Oh so lazy. It's like watching the Rangers!

I wouldn't disagree with most of your comments and grades regarding the first two games - except that you are far too kind to Tkachuk, whose dumbass penalties and stupid macho-man tantrums are vastly overrated as a motivating factor.
Overall, however, I think you are missing the forest for the trees: This team is not good enough and has lost to a pair of vastly better teams. I doubt if all the renewed commitment in the world can do anything to change that.
