Team Canada as the villain. Sounds weird, right?
Honestly, who stands a chance at beating Canada at the World Cup of Hockey? Sweden, Russia, and Finland have certainly put together some good teams but none quite as terrifying — on paper at least — as Team Canada.
Americans all over Twitter seem to hate the squad Team USA’s management has put together. Team Czech Republic, who was already an underdog, has been bitten by the injury bug. All that’s left is North America and Europe.
I think Team Canada is the Goliath of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey—and who wants to cheer for Goliath?
That’s why, for the World Cup of Hockey later this month, I’m picking McDavid over Goliath.
