Total number of years of NHL experience on Canada's roster: 201 (8.7/player avg.)
Total number o fyears of NHL experience on USA's roster: 134 (5.8/player)
The US had 3 players with >10 years of experience, 9 for Canada.
That's a notable difference in experience.
Plus, the US had to overcome the confusion of having 6 different players named Ryan on their roster (and that's not including Bobby Ryan, just first names).
