"Smoked"?
No. The group that won Olympic gold in 2014 was arguably the best int'l hockey team ever assembled. If they don't win this tournament, I will be shocked. The oldest player named to the prelim group is Duncan Kieth, who will be 33-years-old at the start of the tournament. He is coming off of anchoring his NHL team's most recent Stanley Cup win. To characterise this group as old and slow is ridiculous.
