Not because the Wings are not what they were but because I do not think the players today can stack up to the players of this era.

I hear you on that. I grew up with Canadians getting my balls busted and this was my voice saying we can play to. That Canadian team was unbelievable and probably should have won. Canada had so many players to chose and some of my favorites, but team USA was a nasty team that played Candaian hockey. Unfortunately today, the US Canada rival doesn't exist because the kids from Boston are playing the Montreal kids at hockey tournaments at Jay Peak Ski Resort in Vermont. Also, hockey east in New England is playing the Canadian college teams. God Bless the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦!

if you look at their roster, that was the pinnacle of US hockey talent. Gretzky was just fading from his prime and Lemieux was unable to play. perfect storm.

It took Mario Lemieux coming out of retirement to put Canada back on top.

I am Canadian. It was unfortunate we lost but we learned from it. If we had Mario Lemieux it may have been different. But that is no excuse.

Bourque too, Cujo jumping on that 2nd goal pissed me off so much, such an odd playm and then Canada crumbled.

@razoramon9892 жыл бұрын
This is portrayed as David vs Goliath but come on, USA had a fantastic roster. On the Canadian side, Messier, Coffey and Gretzky were well past their prime and Cujo was an average goalie at that stage

These are the best tournaments. The real best vs the best.. But even if thats the most popular thing in hockey they're still not doing it. NHL needs to put out their star to play international,, it is not the same anymore. So many NHLers and fans wants a best vs best-tournment in hockey.

3:52 - "Decades past dominance". That is truth with alterations, so to speak! Canada Cup (NHL international team All-Stars) on NHL rinks was Canada's home-turf and 4/5 won the gold medal. Only the Sovietunion managed to win once the gold medal (1981). But in the Olympics and IIHF World Championship tournaments, Team Canada had not been in recent decades a major player. Just look at the results; Canada had not won an Olympic gold medal since 1952 (not broken til 2002 = 50 YEARS) and not any medal since 1968 Olympics, where they won a Bronze medal. In the Olympics it had been beside the 1980 OG with Team USA, all European dominance for the medals. Sovietunion, Czechoslovakia and Sweden won most. In IIHF World Championship Tournaments, Canada had managed to make better results with the medals. They had won 2 years prior in 1994 the gold medal, but prior that it had been 33 YEARS = 3 decades since they had managed to win the gold (1961). In the 1970's only 1 Bronze medal in an entire decade - In the 1980's, 2 silver and 3 Bronze medals. So while Canada was a major player non the less, in the international perspective at the time, Canada was beside the 1996 World Cup not regarded as THE big dog on international ice. Again, Sweden, Russia, Czech Republic & recent major player Finland was in international ice perspective regarded higher. USA was always a 6th level player. And to clerify, NHL players was allowed to participate in the IIHF World Championships from 1976 and up. The Olympics, NHL players was allowed between 1998-2014. Yeah blame the NHL for this. The world wants NHL players but the league holds them back.

I was 14 and over at my girlfriends house watching that game. I remember that being the lowest I ever felt as a fan for Team Canada. But at least it wasn’t as bad as 1981. I still think Roy would have made a difference.
