I decided to put together the Canadian rosters for the Canada Cup '87 and the World Championships '87 (in Austria). If all players are in their prime and not their '87 status, how would a best-of-7 series between the two teams end? The World Championships team might seem unexperienced in comparision but some future stars were pretty young at the time (for example Scott Stevens). Personally I think the Canada Cuo team would win pretty comfortably 4-1 or possibly 4-2. Will make a similar thread for the American teams as well.
