US Hockey, Out!

With their 4-3 loss to Finland in today’s quarterfinal, the US are out of the 2006 Olympic hockey tournament.

The US limped to a 1-4-1 record, a shadow of their silver medal accomplishment four years ago in Salt Lake City.

Well, that just means that all of the US -based NHL players will have plenty of rest before the NHL resumes play on March 2.
