Four Nations

i don't think we have any actual finland lines/pairs yet so here's best to worst:

Fack off, ya dirty fuckin’ Yanks.

Hopefully Canadian crowds come through and boo these guys every time they touch the puck.

First time in maybe ever i think i'll be able to unabashedly root for the canucks, now thst they're near underdogs. We'll see how my gut reacts when watching tho.

Even though looking at the rosters canadan still looks better to me.
 
Canada looks better, but only because Hughes is out. Otherwise I think the U.S. had a pretty big advantage on D and in net, which is wild considering that was typically always our big advantage.

Matthews being somewhat human this year hurts them too, although he could go off at any point. Our goalies might help him out there...I just looked at their sv% this year...woof. Huge risk we get goalied in this tourney.
 
I think the defense thing is overrated and maybe just wrong.

Canada's D is loaded with almost all recent top-pair cup-winning dmen. USA's isn't.
 
Zeke busting out the cup wins/60 to pump up Canada. Nice.

I'm not sure what the situation in Colorado is but putting MacKinnon on the wing feels wrong? Guy is leading the league in scoring as a C and just won the Hart playing C. I get they want to try the Mac-Crosby Cole Harbour connection, but I think the only way I'm moving him from C is to play him on McDavid's wing and watch those two commit murder on the rush.
 
Ya, the more I think of it, the more not at least trying Mac with McDavid is stupid. The only two guys in the league that can operate at that speed with that amount of skill. It would be terrifying.
