Just McDavid...my point was it was as close to best on best. Much closer than anything more recent.

Anyway not taking anything away they won the tourney fair and square...it just doesn't mean they are the best hockey nation. Like I said even the IIHF ranks Canada #1 based on the results of B and C rosters.

Here's hoping we get a tournament featuring The best players in the near future
