Canada shouldn't have to change anything about its game/roster based on any other team, especially the Americans.
Most of the skilled guys are strong/tough enough that they can handle playing against anyone and Orpik/Martin should be a dream match-up for Crosby to play against as it means he avoids the better player in Suter.
As mentioned before a Toews/Bergeron/Whoever (hopefully Sharp) would be a tough enough line that can cycle and lean on guys. Getzlaf/Perry/Whoever will have a lot of size to bang bodies. Crosby can take guys on physically one on one as well.
Guys like Tavares, Stamkos are strong enough and will beat big, truculent guys with skill if need be.
