Johnny Gaudreau is going to play with Connor McDavid. Outside of the All Star game, this is never going to happen again.
I could give a damn if Canada wins this, I'm all about team U23 - it's a novel concept. It's very comic book of them.

I agree - the more I have thought about this the more I think that everyone involved (the NHL, the TV networks, etc) will be taken aback by the fan following of the U23's.
The team will consist of some of the most creative and exciting players in hockey, and will see broad support from across North America as both US and Canadian fans will be cheering for them.
This team may help drive ratings more than any other!
