The wear and tear on their bodies, age, and what they've all accomplished, expecting them to be anything but preseason half-ass in September is risky.

Although the Americans just made plain stupid choices in comparison. Where's Tyler Johnson, Kessel? Oh right, their GM: "We don't want the best players, we want the right ones." Burke said the same about the US team in 2014. "We picked a toolbox team." 4th place. USA Hockey is pretty thick-headed to reuse the same approach.



That would be fun. I'll put $100 down
Can I get in on that action? What constitutes "smoked"? Losing by 3 or more goals in each game?
