“I just want your honest opinion of it. Right now at the Olympics, the Swiss team that’s assembled right now. If they played the Vancouver Canucks ten times, like let’s say right after the Olympics, how many times do you think they’d beat the Canucks?” Jeff O’Neill said.
Modano replied with, “Maybe seven….I don’t think it’s crazy talk. I’ve always thought the Swiss play a really good team game, but that’s the only thing that saves them, they don’t really have anybody to break open any games, but they always seem to play really tight defensively and play good and wear you down and hope you make a mistake. So I don’t know if Vancouver has that type of patience in their game anymore.”
