It sucks that there are all these injuries for both teams (seems like even more for the US). Would like to be able to say at the end of this tournament, win or lose, that each team had the chance to ice the best team they could - poor roster decisions aside. I know it’s just a part of the game - just like playoffs.
Would rather see both sides completely healthy and loaded up for this game. I see the excuses for Canadians, if they lose, being no Theodore, Crosby playing injured, Makar is still sick. And for the Americans, it will be Tkachuks are playing injured, Hughes not playing and no McAvoy.
It will still be an incredible game though. Excited for Thursday to see how they follow up the Saturday game. Would be hilarious to see star players (Eichel vs McDavid) fight each other instead of the normal guys you expect to fight. Won’t happen of course but would be funny.
