As a Canadian, just like to acknowledge the play of the U.S. team at the World Championships in Russia. With an average age of 23 and two leaders of the team being teenagers ie Matthews(18) and Larkin (19), they just ran out of gas in the Bronze game. They gave Canada everything they could handle yesterday in the semi-final and deserve more press in the U.S. than they received for sure.
Looking forward to seeing the Gold Medal game in less than an hour and also looking forward to seeing Matthews playing for my Leafs.
Anyway well done Team USA for exceeding a lot of expectations.

I have been telling hockey guys to prepare themselves for USA to overtake Canada in hockey. As hockey grows in the USA it is fighting to maintain its numbers in Canada. Also the myth that Canadian development machine is better has been shattered.
