Just blow it all up. Make sure Brian Burke is locked out of the building when they assemble the 2018 roster. Thank god we have some real centers who went first and second overall in the last two drafts.This attitude by Team USA's management group is downright un-American. Who cares if someone is
You can call notion that Team USA's best, most skilled players couldn't beat Team Canada realistic. I prefer to look at it as defeatist.
