There's something to be said for matchups. And I could not care less that VGK went 3-0 against the Wild in the regular season. I would bet anything that the rosters for every one of those games was completely different than what we'll see in this series.

Team USA only had to beat Team CCCP in a Best of 1 as part of the Medal Round (and back it up against the Finns 2 days later).

But still lots of NHL Top Seeds start making Tee Times by early May.

Considering this is the first time the entire team has been healthy since November 11th I would think you are correct.
