If there is a 'weak' spot for Team Canada, much has been debated in media sources about it's goaltending. Compared to the 'rock-solid' U.S. goalkeeper Jacj Campbell, as he is described, Canada's tandem of Visentin and whomever isn't quite up to par here.
Then, again, there is always room for some surprises.

USA goalkeeper Jack Campbell, a Dallas Stars draftee, certainly loves playing in Canada...
Having grown up in the U.S. border town of Port Huron, Mich. ? across the river from Sarnia, Ont. ? Jack Campbell knows a thing or two about Canadians.
He knows how passionately Canadians love their hockey, and more importantly, how beloved the world junior championship has become in this country.
Now entering his third and final tournament in Edmonton and Calgary, Campbell is an old pro. He?s learned what to expect from the crowd - and he embraces it.
?I live for that crowd,? said the 19-year-old of anti-American sentiment. ?I absolutely live for it. When they chanted my name (during the 2010 gold medal game in Saskatoon) as a 17-year-old, I think it might have been the most memorable experience of my career. I don?t know how people could shy away from a crowd like that, it?s just so much fun. If I was a kid and you were to tell me I would be up in Canada in front of 20,000 Canadians screaming my name ? I?d be there in a heartbeat. It?s what I play hockey for.?
According to USA Hockey, Campbell is sixth among American goalies all-time with 519 minutes played at the world juniors and is tied for second with seven career wins.
This season in the Ontario Hockey League, Campbell has a 12-7 record with a 3.01 goals against average and .909 save percentage split between his former Windsor Spitfires and the Soo Greyhounds, his new team after a trade in early November.
Just like last year, the U.S. plays Canada on New Year?s Eve in what is expected to be one of the marquee games of the tournament, with scalpers on sites such as Craigslist already asking upwards of $500 for a single premium seat.
?You have to win all the other games too, to win the gold medal. All the games are important ? so I wouldn?t say Canada is the most important game, but it?s the most fun game,? said Campbell. ?They all matter but that will be the most enjoyable with the fans and the chance to beat a team in their home country, and they?ll be tough to beat.?
