[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1715375, member: 85743"] Agreed though having a mostly college age team will help with that. Last night's win is even more impressive when you consider that Canada, even with having vets and more NHL experienced guys like Eric Staal on their roster, also had 3 of the top 5 picks in the most recent NHL draft (all of whom went to Michigan incidentally). The U.S. had one of the top 5 picks from that draft, Matty Beniers, who went #2 to Seattle. They should be able to beat Germany tomorrow morning (central time) and if they do, they would win the group and have a bye through to the quarterfinals. That means that they wouldn't play again until late Tuesday night (again, central time) at the earliest. [/QUOTE]
