Lightning's Ben Bishop: Disappoints in lone World Cup appearance

Bishop gave up four goals on 20 shots in a 4-3 loss to Team Czech Republic on Thursday.

Analysis:

Big Ben failed to impress in his lone appearance for Team USA at the World Cup, getting yanked after 40 minutes of play. Granted, the Americans had nothing but pride to play for and their brass probably decided to pull Bishop to get Corey Schneider some crease time, but it was still disappointing nonetheless. With just under three weeks until the puck drops on the 2016-17 NHL season, Bishop will have plenty of time to get his mind right before resuming his role as the Lightning's No. 1 netminder.
