This current roster has some solid names, but for me a it's still a pretty obvious step back from what Canada would send.

2010 was team USA's chance. Played the best in the round-robin, went 3-0 whereas Canada went 1-1-1.
Canada was able to take the US to OT in the gold medal game and put it way there.
Though I like watching NHL players, I think the tournament will be just as much fun as always. Cheer for the country instead of the athletes really. Other than the best, the majority of athletes are sadly forgotten about a couple weeks after
