So McKinnon's not 100%.

Klosny's injured.

It's put all kinds of pressure on Connor McDavid to carry the load.

And, you know, my concern for Canada against the U.S.

on Sunday is, you know, the U.S.

is littered with offensive talent on all four of their lines.

that Canada's going to go in a little top-heavy against that, which might leave them exposed.

Now, I will say this.

Putting together Tom Wilson with Sam Bennett and Brad Marchand today, something that John Cooper said he was surprised he waited this long to do because it's something he had talked about before the tournament, but they finally got to it today and went through the game.

That could be a really important line against Team USA because I'm telling you, that line today softened up the Finnish defense.

They started report-checking and banging and hitting everything in sight today.

And that changed the game.

It gave them momentum with finished blue liners looking over their shoulder.

And they're going to need that against Team USA because that blue line is unreal for Team USA.

They're going to have to try and top up that U.S.

defense.

Well, in a year or four nations, it was one of the deciding factors.

Jordan Binnington outplayed Connor Hellebuck, plain and simple.

I mean, that's a game that the U.S.

had better looks and great A's in overtime especially.
