Canada definitely has the defenders and size to compete with Hughes, Eichel, and the Tkachuks. Point and Cirelli are speedy two way match-up centers. Konecny, Jarvis, Marchand and Hagel are very high-motor forecheckers. You couple that with mature guys in Crosby, Stone, Reinhart and MacKinnon and a pairing of Toews-Makar, a big and fast Parayko. It’ll be interesting to watch.
I think people are diminishing the fact that this Team Canada might be the best one at being shut-down and creating turnovers. I don’t think people should assume that the US will have a heyday on the poor American goaltending and that Canada will just win through its high-end firepower. Could see low scoring games
