Team Canada is still better best-on-best but Team USA is probably No.2 ..but Russia and Sweden are also stacked.

[@lwhystad]

russia won't be there

[@stephanlai6531]

With Bedard, Makar, Mackinnon, Crosby and Mcdavid on one team. There is no way USA is stopping those players.

[@Clever01010]

Well U.S.A 🤭 got to love your spirit. 😄 Good for you😉👍

[@JBTriple8]

Lets not count are chickens yet as Herb Brooks said "All-Star Teams fail because they solely relay on the individuals talent"

[@andymcrory5353]

As a Canadian i would have to admit that American hockey players are now as good as any on the planet and so would definitely be contenders for a gold medal. Team USA is now as good as Sweden, or Finland or Russia, or Czechia, or Canada. It will be very interesting to see what happens next Winter Olympics. It would be good for hockey for Team USA to win the gold. It's always better to have different teams win.

[@JSnipes-nb7uy]

Pre-qualifying your statement as a Canadian doesn't make it valid.

[@andymcrory5353]

Validity has nothing to do with what i wrote. What i wrote has nothing to do with truth or falsity but is merely an opinion, which you are free to agree or disagree with. I wrote "as a Canadian" to show that i am not American and so am not making a biased statement.@@JSnipes-nb7uy

[@MS-ii1sv]

The USA is much better than any of those countries except Canada and they have been for at least 20 years.

[@leelantern805]

Wow, it's on like donkey kong now, lol. The goaltending is the wild card for Canada, but to me, Canada still has the better forwards and matches on defense. I just want to see best on best. Please go to the Olympics

[@jacobfeldman364]

Call it a Miracle in Milan, if you will.

[@seniormale]

The only way the Americans win is if they put to goalies in at the same time.😂

[@andrewdrost2544]

Love my American brothers but the over under on fights in this game should be 3.5 when the Americans and Canadians meet. We just like to tussle.

[@BausNguyen]

In that whole line up you’ve probably named 2 top ten guys in Matthews and Tkachuk 😂. The other 8 are from Canada. MAYBE, a couple Russians,Germans. Bottom line team canada is way too stacked. They will destroy this USA team and it’s even close.

[@jmarcine]

Haha for real? Canada is the favourite by a kilometre….

[@timothyehrler4325]

Team Finland is STACKED! No way US and A beats them!

[@Jostra_FAME]

Finland is nowhere near stacked lol What are you on about? Beyond their top 6 and top D pair, they are pretty average.

[@timothyehrler4325]

@@Jostra_FAME opinions are like ASSHOLES.

[@seniormale]

Sorry still not good enough to beat canada

[@TheEsapirnes]

It's so funny to see all these videos of NA rosters and hyping them, but we have seen what has happened when some countries have "star studded rosters". For example Russia, Sweden and NA teams had WAAAYYYYY better roster what comes to the pure name value, but surprise surprise Finland won the tournament. Just saying that names back of the jerseys doesn't mean that they have better teams, yeah they have better individual skills and all, but does everything click, not so sure. After all Olympics and IIHF WC are short tournaments and putting some good players to the same team doesn't always pan out as intended. Besides people have to understand that Finland's population 5,5 million compared to USA which is 330 million and Russia 150 million or something just as an example, even Sweden has around 11 million.

[@yoooei5792]

Sweden will win the whole thing!

[@brianhren1760]

They won't win not a chance. Auston Matthews their best player disappears when the game's matter most. Just watch Leaf playoff games from the past 5 years

[@gouthrax]

As a Canadian it sucks to admit it but the US will definitely win the next Olympics. Their skaters are on par with Canada but they are beyond stacked in goaltending. Demko, Hellebuyck, Swayman, Desmith, Oettinger, Quick, Lindgren. Canada will be lucky to get silver.

[@JSnipes-nb7uy]

Cute. You can talk when USA actually wins something… Canada dominates every time

[@tkdmike9345]

The only thing Team Canada can dominate now is a defenseless woman.

[@JSnipes-nb7uy]

Total class act, use a victim's situation to make a joke... way to go hero, your mom must be super proud of you. @@tkdmike9345

[@mathiasvikander8592]

Canada will be the absolute favourite. But i think my Sweden can take them!

[@JM-gj7de]

Canada's goaltending was already crap. Now ya'll lost that rapist Carter Hart, too. Canada won't be "dominating" anyone.
