Brad Marchand on the challenge presented by this Team USA lineup:
They are by far the best that I’ve played. No disrespect to the previous teams, but with the way the game has evolved in the last 10 years, some of the players on their team will be some of the best to ever play the game of hockey.
They embody a team that competes at the highest level. They have everything. They check well. They play physical. They have incredible talent. The defensemen on their team can all skate. They’re all a good size.
