Zach Parise and his USA teammates have some unfinished business to take care of at the Sochi Olympics after coming within a goal of striking gold four years ago in Vancouver.

The memory of their 3-2 loss in the gold medal game, when Sidney Crosby scored in overtime for Canada, is still fresh in their minds.
"We came so close in Vancouver," said Parise. "It was a tough way for us to finish.

"We know that just because we finished second the last time there is no guarantee we are going to get back to gold medal game. A lot of things have to go right."

The Americans may not have the star power on offence that Russia and Canada or even Sweden boasts, but they are deep in goal which is key for any team hoping to make a run at a medal.
