you could do

As always in international basketball, it would come down to who would agree to play for the U.S.

In the current FIBA rankings, Serbia is #2 and Germany #3.

I think the Joker's team is pretty good...

I was thinking of them, too, but wasn't sure how deep their bench of NBA-caliber players would be. IIRC from the Olympics they had a halfway decent starting five — Jokic alone makes them a medal contender — and then some Euro league types filling out the roster.

They should have done another edit with Brooks' pep talk for the final game:

"You lose this game, you'll take it to your forking graves.

"YOUR forkING GRAVES."

Home in time for OT. Hope this goes for a bit.

It is going to be absolute hell for the guys who have to do a Thursday-Saturday turnaround. But from a marketing standpoint it was brilliant for the NHL to jump on that momentum right away.

Everybody can get out of Binnington's ash now.

America wanted this game. Canada needed it.
