The thing that Canada has over the US, is that ALL of these guys have played together from pretty much their teenage years. Albeit, this is not hockey..however walking into a clubhouse of all your buddies would increase performance I am sure over a bunch of money making machines (USA).
I remember hearing that just before the WBC two seasons ago, all the boys got together at a local rink here in Tampa and drank enough beers while play hockey to construct the stanley cup !
