Their top line wingers, Kane and Parise, are both very small, although they are highly talented.
They put together a nice balance of skill and grit with players ranging from Patrick Kane to Backes. Along with two way players with the likes of Callahan and Dustin Brown.
I think that USA will be a suprising team this year, considering how well Ryan Miller has been playing this season. He, alone, can steal games away from highly talented teams.
