Not going to bet on losing every game by 3, c'mon.

Well, that is hardly the definition of "smoked". You are talking about potentially a single OT loss in the whole tournament. That could happen to any team, no matter how good.
Like I said, this Canadian lineup—which went undefeated in the 2014 Olympics—is arguably the best int'l hockey team ever assembled. And yet, as good as this team was they realistically could have lost their semi-final game against Team USA. All it took would have been a fortunate bounce for the other team.
So, no. You don't really believe your first statement.
