I'm sure it could go either way, but I like Bonino's versatility and experience with Kessel more and I think Kesler is better than Backes in a shutdown center role.
Still just not good enough. It seems like some of the USA players have peaked too low, especially offensively. The next wave will help and CAN/USA will be very fun to watch.
It's still just a pre season tourney. Does it really matter who wins or not? As bad as the USA looked at times, if some of the shots that went off the goal post had gone in the net, maybe they would be in the next round.
