Following the Swedish women's team upset of the U.S. at the Torino games, Ferraro publicly criticized US Women's coach Ben Smith for failing to bring the best US players to the games, which led to their downfall. His comments were broadcast on MSNBC during the intermission of a men's game.

Some critics and fans also questioned Granato's cut from the team and cited it as a factor in the US team's disappointing performance.
Ferraro currently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
