After a strong start, the U.S. men's hockey team was disappointingly eliminated from the world championship over the weekend.Again.The U.S. team, stocked with many N.H.L. players, had breezed through pool play in Finland with a 7-0 record, then beat the Czech Republic in the quarterfinal.That put the Americans into a semifinal against Germany, a team with players primarily from German League teams like Eisbaren Berlin (the Berlin Polar Bears) and Kolner Haie (the Cologne Sharks).
