What a names ... They are Toews of defence : Tie from Switzerland, Five goals from Finland, tons of moments from Czechs (thanks to Cory) and still huge hype around because they were or will be 1st rounders
US team D are far from "the Toews of defense".
Russian Teams Defense might be though:
Vjateslav Buravchikov = #191st overall
Andrei Zubarev = HFProspect Grade: 6.0 C
Kirill Lyamin = Round 2 #58 overall
Nikita Nikitin = 5th round, #136th overall
Alexei Yemelin = round 3 #84 overall

The games the US D had trouble in were against teams warmed up by the Canadian's. Both the Swiss and The Fins were "woken up" by the Canadian's, and played much tougher the next time around.
Just like how we blew Norway away, but the Canadian's didn't even come close to that score against them.
The only downside is the US team are all tired as hell now.
The one upside for us is:
Russian's goaltending =
