O'Reilly?? .. O'Realy?? LOL
Not Hage (best player IMO) ? .. not McKenna .. ?
That tells you all you need to know about the thinking of Team Canada management .. they value pluggers higher than skill, speed and agility.
not to mention the smell of nepotism.. London Knight coach picks his 3rd line player..

If they picked pluggers then they sure did not bring their work boots with them. From what I watched, they reminded me of the Edmonton Oilers when they are struggling. Relied on the top two lines to drive the play, had an elite power play and were outworked for large stretches of games. Goaltending did not steal any games.
