At least in the Olympics it's the best countries vs the best countries. This isn't even that. It's not the best countries going up against each other and it's not even the best players playing each other.
Having said that, I can't wait to watch the World Cup.

Team Canada didn't have all its best players out for the Olympics either. You could argue almost every "best on best" tournament wasn't actually best on best. Guys like Hamhuis, Sharp, Marleau and Kunitz over the likes of Seabrook, Seguin, Giroux and Thornton? (You could argue because of positions, but Giroux and Seguin have both played wing many times)
