That's actually a pretty good team. They have center depth, and that's without David Backes. All four lines can score and there's some grit in the bottom 6. The second line is as skilled and fast as almost any in the tourney.

So really, while people want to say that the Team North America concept kinda screwed team USA over, it didn't really. There are only a couple of guys they lose because of that. Most it was their own fault.
