Doesn't mean that this wasn't a good roster. People are already preparing to point fingers. Sometimes you just lose.

Plus isn't this more fun than an 8-1 blowout?

There are never memorable moments in blowouts. There's gonna be one here either way.
The forward group is fine.

Outside of Makar the defense and goaltending is lacking. And that's a problem Canada Hockey development needs to figure out.
