If Canada beats USA it would make sense to rest Price for the 2nd back to back game.
And to give Muzzin and Giroux a game.

a lot of folks are waking up to the fact that Canada has back to back this week.
A lot of of pressure if we drop the USA game.
Don't understand why they have the schedule like that.
Why aren't we playing the USA tonight? just realized!! it conflicts with american football !! for TV audience

ESPN broadcasts Monday Night Football and there is no way they would bump that for Canada-USA, which they want on the main network (not ESPN2, ESPNU, or ESPNews)

Crosby looks like he's having more fun than he's had in years. I doubt hed love the idea of being rested.
Yep. In my opinion, he is the 2nd or 3rd best player in the game. No player carries his team like Tavares does in the playoffs.

Crawford getting the start tomorrow. Cool!
Completely different kind of players. As far as offensive talent, I would put Tavares ahead of Toews.
Toews all-around game is what gives him elite status.
If you mean that Toews is 1a behind Crosby in terms of their center depth, then yes, absolutely. Those two are probably going to be the last guys off the 2010 Vancouver lineup to be replaced on Team Canada rosters.

Does Price play in the final round robin game? whether Canada finishes first or second they are rolling over anyone in this tournament....i say give crawford or holtby the game...anybody known why Holtby is number three? The reigning Vezina trophy winner doesnt even dress....strange...

With the win last night, Toews record across international tournaments is 47-3-0.
That's uh.... kind of insane.
EDIT:
Also, for as much flak as Team Canada took for selecting Bouwmeester as Keith's replacement, it's turned out to be a pretty sound decision. Thus far he's taken the toughest starts of the Dmen along with Shea Weber (38% in the Ozone, 37.93% in the Ozone, respectively), has the 3rd highest TOI among Dmen behind Doughty and Weber, and has yet to have goal scored against him while he's on the ice.
Granted, the latter part might have something to do with the fact that he's playing behind the Toews line, which also hasn't had a goal scored against them either.
Still, he's performed better and been leaned on more heavily than most people probably gave him credit for.

Marchand has really suprised me. He is very good player. If he keeps playing good in NHL until 2018, then he should make the Olympic team aswell.
People hate him only becuse he is a pest, but ignores that he is actually a really good player.

It's really fascinating how Tavares has evolved his game over the years, he's put in a ton of work and it's all manifestating now. This is the best he's ever looked and he looks poised to have a big season. He should be a threat for the Art Ross, but I think he's a bigger threat for the Hart and this could be the year he finally gets it. He has the narrative of being the undisputed face of his team without an elite running mate on his side.
Stamkos came out of the gate much faster, but he seems to be trending down these days. Everyone seemed to consider Stammer as the superior player to Tavares years ago, doesn't seem to the case anymore.
Agreed. From what I've seen at the tournament, I think Tavares will have a great season. McDavid too. This was BEST against BEST, and he looked great. Believe me, he's going to be huuuge this season. Matthews probably too. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit 30 goals and 60-70 points.
