The players can say what they want, but until I see guys finishing checks and backchecking with max effort every shift, I'm not expecting much out of this.
Even if it's regular season levels of energy and effort, it won't hold a candle to the Olympics simply because its a short, 4 team tournament with very little on the line. Some of these guys aren't going to lay it all on the line and risk a playoff run in the Spring for a 4 Nations title....an Olympic gold is a little different.
