While I am sure Demitra will help the Canucks out and will be better than he was for them last year and in limited action this year, I don't think he will be the gamebreaker he was in the Olympics.
Players for teams like the Slovaks, Fins, Swiss all go to tournaments like this, lay it all on the line and play hockey that they cannot replicate at other times in their career.
They put on the jersey of their national team, feel the pride and national honor that comes with that and their game hits another level.
