Game with Canada should be great hockey - as long as the refs don't go overboard with penalties and ref the game into ridiculousness. Those kids are used to that style of hockey since most of them play in North America in the WHL, OHL, etc. Let them play.
Nugent-Hopkins has lived up to the hype for the most part - but the US has some exciting players too.

The Czechs were quite disappointing for me. I was expecting them to come out swinging and play a much tighter 2-way game, but they looked pretty aweful and the US whomped them good.
That Winnipeg Jets draft pick Trouba is a hell of a player though. Looking forward to seeing what he contributes to us once the lame duck NHL starts back up again.
