[Enoch Root]

Yeah, Canada vs World in a Ryder Cup-like 4 out of 7 would be really cool

not sure that this group is better than what's out there, but it is certainly debatable.

I don't think it's better but I don't think there's a dropoff so significant that you'd notice.

Crosby is a machine. Best player in the game.

[Vulcan]

Right now Canada looks pretty dominant but going by the last few Under 20s, that may not last.

[GreenLantern2814]

Thornton-ROR-Duchene is the 4th line.

GTFO. As if the world had a chance.

Not sure who typed this up, Roenick or Donald Trump?

Seriously??? That's the best USA can give??? Defending champs if u look at it literally. That's a joke!! Europe embarrassed us. Wake up!!!

[GreenLantern2814]

At this point, I say put in Crawford.

Defending champs of....?

Anyone who thinks McMuffin is taking Crosby's title any time soon is crazy.

I think he forgot about the 2004 World Cup. But in JR's defense, so did everyone.

They are the defending champs of what, exactly? When did the US last win a best on best hockey tournament? 1996?

This is some of the worst hockey I've ever seen. How anyone thought this would compare to the Olympics is beyond me.

[Samonadreau]

I think I saw Joe Thornton on an episode of Vikings last week.

Are you suggesting this is somehow different from Can-Cze if this was Olympics? Come on. Olympics has Belarus and Germany losing by 8 goals. That's not good hockey either

This looks an awful lot like the 2014 Olympics to me. You can't expect a team with a first line of Voracek/Plekanec/Michalek to compete with this roster.

[GreenLantern2814]

They have to get the puck back from an insane forward group.

At any given moment, one of Drew Doughty, Shea Weber, Vlasic or Pietrangelo are on the ice.

And if they make it through all of that they still have to beat Carey Price.

Good luck.

It's the 2014 olympics with speed and chances.

2010 Olympics were nice because while Canada was good there were some doubts that made it exciting.

[Roof-Daddy]

Like men against boys on that powerplay.

5-0

I'm saying the next bodycheck I see will be the first one. This is glorified shinny.
