Doughty was 18 in 2010. Crosby was 22. Toews was 21. Weber was 24, as were Bergeron, Perry and Getzlaf. Pietrangelo was in junior. The core of the Canadian team is now in, or closer to, its prime. The 2014 versions of these players are better than their 2010 versions.
Granted, the same is true of much of the USA roster. So, I guess we'll just see... won't we?
