Freaking Canadians with their cupcake group.
I know, I was reading the comments posted on TSN and from what I saw there is no sense for the other countries to even bother sending a team.
a few of potential problems:
- Canadian team reads those press clippings and the intensity never gets ramped up to where it needs to be
- especially with the relatively soft Group, could be in for a surprise in the 1/4s against a battle hardened team
- Sweden, USA, Russia will also be fielding pretty damned strong teams (maybe Finland too)
- a tourney this short, the goalie can steal the show. While the CDN goalies are all good, I don't see that otherworldly level that some of the others have reached recently (Quick / Rask / Lundqvist)
should be some amazing hockey though!
/also, TSN commenters are for the most part, retards.
