Does Canada have an answer to the Tkachuks?

[1 Team 24 Cups]

The Tkachuk family is laughably over rated.

Decent role players but nowhere close to being on the level of McDavid, MacKinnon or Crosby. They’re on par with Brayden Point.

Not surprising the Americans lost again when those two are considered among the top forwards on their team.

Took them getting injured, obviously couldn't handle them when they were healthy

More like they couldn’t handle the style they wanted to play. Aka glass canons. Paper tigers.

Either him on Hyman, but i'm not sure if they'll actually get dressed.

4 nations was with NHL refs on NHL ice. Olympics will be with IIHF refs with international sized ice. It's going to be more difficult to lay the body on larger ice and do it cleanly by IIHF standards.

They’ll likely bring more speed and more skill - the Olympics aren’t a short tournament, they’ll have time to tinker and experiment.

The format of this tournament required a less flashy, more reliable defense, and that’s what they were.
