Canada will outplay the US, with the forecheck of Marleau, Heatley and Thornton dominating the low cycle. Brendan Morrow and Backes for the US will be playing shot-for-shot, trying to one-up each other with the biggest hit of the game. Drew Doughty will lead the Canadian defence, not in minutes (that'll be Weber and Keith) but in play, at the ripe "old" age of 20.
If Miller can stand on his head again, the US has a chance. One soft goal for Canada, and the game is over.
Regardless of the result, Canada will still be the undisputed hockey power in the world. One Olympic and one World Junior win does not entitle a country to that title after recent years of dominance.
