I don't think it is that much of a mismatch. More like a CFL team coming to play the lions. All the coverage I have seen throughout the olympics (not much though) is about the winner of USA/Canada should face Russia for the gold. I think the US has a good team, but lets face it, at least half of the players is the NHL are from Canada and Russia it seems like, add in Sweden, Finland, etc. and there are not a lot of Americans left, so bronze would have been fine for me. If we get better, great!
