The old gray hair goatee stays on, boys.

I'm not changing that look.

after uh i don't know i think i grew my first goatee i was eight but uh but anyway yeah well um are you willing to say it's canada u.s on sunday considering the americans are up five nothing yeah this game's over for sure and polack is just never never had a foothold here right from the right from the outset they looked nervous and disjointed and and uh honestly it's

It did not look like the team at all that had been the darlings of this tournament.

So a pretty disappointing semifinal.

But, of course, that's happening because we're playing a team that, I mean, this is the best Team USA roster ever assembled, you know.

They have so much depth.

I mean, this is going to be quite a challenge for Team Canada boys on Sunday.

In particular because at times, I think, you saw it, especially in the Czech game on Wednesday, Canada's had some defensive breakdowns.

That's going to be really, really...

tested on Sunday here.

But I'll say this, after talking to Team Canada's players here after the game, they feel they can handle almost any situation now after coming back twice in terms of their resiliency and their belief.

A couple of guys were saying they were down 2-0 and it was so calm on the bench.

They just talked about sticking with it, sticking with it.

It's not easy to do when it looks like your gold medal dreams, man.

Yeah, noodles.

I'd start with Sidney Crosby.

I mean, they don't have the same depth without him in the lineup.

I know that's maybe pointing out the obvious, but...

You know, the idea coming into this tournament was to go one, two, three, three-headed monster down the middle with, you know, with McDavid, with Crosby, and with McKinnon.
