yeah but you make it sound like Canada is going to and has been destroying us. it's not the case at all.
and look at the WJC. USA, gold. Canada, 4th.
what gives?

yeah but this article is SEVERELY underestimating a big factor....look at the upcoming youth in the NHL, lets look at it in terms of point producers, you can check NHL.com you can look up points by rookies or ALL forwards and country by country, look at that and tell me what your technology is going to do when you're still living and dying by pretty much 1 superstar line and a bunch of 2 way forwards when Canada has not only older players but rookies who are superstars on both ends throughout the entire line
you guys keep bringin up the WJC, which is great but how many of those team USA players are gonna translate into bonifide NHL stars vs the Canadian team's kids (some already are), now that doesnt mean they wont become good players but when it comes down to the highest MENS level the US doesnt come close
the truth of the matter is that the U.S. is really catching up, or has caught up in GOALTENDING, as has the rest of the world though so that doesnt make you guys special on that end
Miller's goaltending of the last Olympics successfully foole dyou guys into thinking your entire team compares to Team Canada which (and without hate) is absurd
just because Canada almost lost to Jonas Hiller in the olympics, it doesnt mean that the Swiss have caught up or are going to be better than Canada at the next Olympics....
i mean seriously, come on
