Eberle is a guy they definitely could use there!

Occasionally-lost-in-our-zone-looking D – can’t play scared. Don’t underestimate the States.
Don’t rely on the goalie to make up for defensive complacency.
Wearing my brand new Eberle t-shirt for luck.

Oi.. Canada better win this one. Could easily go home without any medals.

That Sweden/Russia match was really good. Lets beat the states now and send them to the bronze game, and bring on the real rivalry with Russia!

Ya, it’s tough to read the Americans. They haven’t really been challenged too hard yet. They did face the Finns (3-2 final, actually) and you missed Slovakia (beat them 6-1). But I think those two teams are in the 5th-7th best team in the tourney range. Certainly not on the same level of Sweden, for example. The Swiss game was only 2-1, but the Americans did dominate there in chances, anyways. Just like us, they got a bit stifled by the solid Swiss D, it would seem. Anyways, I wouldn’t read too much into it. They might not be as good as people are touting them to be though, you’re right… but the Canadians will have a tough game ahead, nonetheless, for sure!
