anyone else think Canada can up several more levels?

I don't think they will even have to.

I think USA can up their level, but I don't think this bunch has the moxie to do that. USA is about to roll over and die.

How is Torts given the job to lead team USA?

Tbh they should all be getting the boot. And they're the ones who hired Torts and assembled this Torts-style roster.

Plus I have to imagine that Dubinsky was a Torts pick 100%.

Well, as I don't like Burke (and I mean hockey-hate in the most passionate sense of the word), building (or supervising) a team to be all grity and "beat Canada" is dumb Babcock said it best - "what if you don't MEET Canada" (i mean to be fair, in most tournaments Canada/USA are either in the same pool, or ultimately end up, but the point is valid - why build your team to beat 1 team. build your team to beat ANY team. you don't know whom you are going to face).

I'm trying to think who the best choice for the US would be coach wise. I am thinking Jon Cooper (because he's a dual if not American - but he's with team NAT). I don't see USA Brass hiring the new DET coach.. and I regret I don't know the nationalities of all 30 coaches) - but i mean. Paul Maurice is part of team Europe's coaching staff, so who knows whose allowed to coach, right?)

they were saying on the radio - you have Marchand + Getzlaf playing the role of Dubinsky.
who in the USA can beat that - so you have Dubinsky playing the role of Dubinsky. you can name several people to go ahead of Dubs, but if you want that skill-rugged edge who is better (legit question, i dunno). I wouldn't have named him to the team either.

you guys had some injuries (Kessel) and dumb mandates. so maybe by bowing out early, Burke/Lombardi can go away and then you can use Poile(was it Poile?) who built team USA for sochi who until you hit Canada was pretty darned good.

This is the team without Keith, Benn and Seguin. Just too much talent in this generation of players, it's not really close. Apart from Kane, who else from USA would be a lock to make team Canada?

Man I remember in Sochi when people were worried about Canada's goalie future. Look at us now.

Still means nothing, other countries have better or are on par for goaltending today. Luckily we don't rely on goaltending every game.
 
Stop *****ing about Quick. Yeah, he should have had the 2nd goal, but other than that, he's been fine. Don't give up 2 on 0's or breakaways.
 
Feel bad for American fans tbh. This is NOT the best their country has to offer and it is because of the dinosaurs running things at USA hockey.

Wasn't Kessel passed over for the team before the injury was known?

Perry is such a ****ing dirtbag. I dislike very few players in the NHL, he's one of them. He tries to injure someone nearly every game. Its not even an NHL game, and he's trying to injure players. He did the same thing to Laine at the World Championships.

I think most Team Canada fans agree, but while we have him his antics seem less dirty (that Laine **** was brutal though).
