With how they dominated the World Juniors and the players they have now in the NHL, it sure looks that way. If NHL players will play in the 2026 Olympics, USA should be the hands on favoraite to win gold. USA is probably the best all around team but Canada is deeper on defence and have better top tier talent (McDavid, MacKinnon, Crosby, Makar…). The only unknown for Canada is goaltending.

US has 3 goalies who would be the Bonafide #1 for Canada too. its a huge hole. Hockey Canada is broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only unknown for Canada is goaltending. Hughes-Fox Slavin-McAvoy Sanderson-Carlson Werenski-Jones Hughes-Miller/Trouba Looks deep enough to me. They're not lacking in top-tier forward talent either. Obviously anyone would pick McDavid/MacKinnon over Hughes/Matthews, but it'd be a very close matchup.

He also has the best save % in the league among goalies that have played at least 15 games. Talbot has the best save % among goalies that have played at least 25 games. Not sexy star names, but you can't deny what they're doing, and the stats back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
