Now forwards is a completely different story. They are going to struggle up front and will need to rely on their defense and goaltending if they are going to have any success.

I don't think it is a weakness and compared to other countries it isn't that bad but it is clearly a step below Canada's (every countries is) and not really close at all in my view.
