Five San Jose Sharks could not rejoin the team until the 2016 World Cup of Hockey came to an end Thursday, Sept. 29. Team Canada trailed for less than 15 percent of the tournament and led for most of it.
Every game ended with Team Canada winning in regulation. The hockey powerhouse has not lost in its last 16 international competitions with NHL players.
Team Canada was the only logical pick to win the World Cup of Hockey given its roster. No team matches its depth and nor top-end talent at forward and on the blue line.
