During the selection process, the US team was widely panned by the pundits. But it appears the approach to build a team with a number skilled guys as well as a group of sand paper guys is paying off. Its no secret that players despise playing against the likes of Dustin Brown, Ryan Kessler, David Backes and Ryan Callahan. The above named all have strong offensive capabilites but are relentless defensively and torture you physically the entire game. The Olympic style has always been the "big ice" all offense, all skill mentality. This US team although highly skilled is built around physical defensively responsible players. Tomorrow's game against Canada should be unbelievable.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
