Chris Pronger makes the case that Oilers player should have made Team Canada at 4 Nations Faceoff

He explained with the loss of Cale Makar and Shea Theodore; Team Canada had a tough time setting up its transition game which would be helped with Bouchard in the lineup.

Bouchard was one of several defensemen who were not chosen to be on Team Canada and many felt that that was a mistake. The 25-year-old defender who stands at six foot 3 and 192 lbs with certainly gives the team more physicality and would help offensively.

Through 55 games this season, he has scored nine goals with 35 assists for 44 points and is a + 21. Despite his slow start, he has really picked up the pace and is beginning to trend upward as through his last five games this season, he's had seven points including one goal in six assists.

With the loss to the United States, Canada now faces Finland on Monday as the team attempts to stamp its ticket to the finals against America. Many feel Canada still has a strong chance to win this tournament even though the United states has shown they have become deeply talented on all facets of the game.

Canada will need to stick to their game plan and knockout Finland as the series now shifts to Boston where the finals will take place on February 20th.
