Is anyone else dissapointed with the lack of competition this year? I've never seen a tournament so easy to predict, or one with so many underacheviers.
I have only watched the Canadian games, but they have embarrassed every team they faced. Russia was obviously nowhere near their level of previous years. Even Finland looked terrible. The Czechs were awful in both games and are lucky to have only been outscored 12-3.
This tournament is usually hotly contested and the games between the top countries are usually right down to the wire. Canada hasn't felt any pressure yet and that may hurt them if they need to really earn the win against the US.
