So far the evil empire is better than Canada on faceoffs/defense/goaltending. The yanks defense is more mobile, quicker and better at moving the puck on the transition.

leave evan bouchard for some scrub like parayko
Ah, well Canada is injured. I was thinking about how different this team looks with Brayden Point/Sidney crosby on offense and Josh Morrissey on defense. Just those three alone I don’t think USA stands a chance. You just get 3 balanced lines. I will say Parayako and Sanheim have looked really good since the knock out rounds where games have become physical. I think that’s Canada’s Advantage, they can clog up the middle and transition.

We could have used Evan Bouchard skating, mobility, speed, and puck moving skills too.

USA amazing on the rush but having a hard time sustaining pressure cause they get knocked off the puck easily


It’s also sad because it might be Crosby last ever opportunity to play hockey for team Canada in the Olympics. He will be 42-43 in 2030, too old to be on the roster
