World cup was far closer to best on best than this...the u-23 novelty team hurt Canada more than it helped them.
If they go to the Olympics next time Canada will be the overwhelming favourite. Finland is much improved but not the "best hockey nation"
World juniors aren't best on best either with guys playing in the NHL
Despite sending average rosters to all these tournaments the IIHF still ranks Canada #1 based on results
