As always should be a an intriguing match up!
As a Jets fan so I am courteous to see how McGroaty plays as Captain.
Also look forward to seeing Savoie, Geekie play!

Go Canada Go!:nod:

We really gonna act like Rousseau is dog shit because of one game now. Supposedly the other two goalies are splitting this and Rousseau is getting Boxing Day against the Finns.
Slightly sarcastic but there were some worrying tendencies I saw from a mechincal point of view. He stands so far back in his crease for a smaller goaltender, and his back to front push from the left post caused him to slip twice yesterday

Yeah I mean that is fair, I also don't think that game is really indicative of what his game actually is when he is on his game. There were a number of players that looked a little off yesterday.

I really don't think this early matchup is going to flatter Canada but hopefully playing tbe U.S brings out more of the best in them and they build on that. You tend to learn more in losing then winning early on in a short tournament.
exactly this.

US should have more familiarity at this point and that gives then the edge here.
That will help and surely the firepower that they are bringing here to go with that makes them pretty damn tough to beat and more so at this point, this is also a veteran team as far as returnees go and that means so much at the WJC. Talent plus experience makes this U.S team a juggernaut this year.

Their defense is pretty bad though

Camuck goalie looked like he lost his net there. I think that's a problem with going to big ice from small ice.
