Not all countries would send over their 'best players'. e.g. The Soviets in '76.
For years, the Soviets were far more concerned with winning the World Championship and Olympic titles.

I Guess I mean more that we were able to make our best available.

and we didn't have our best out on the ice at this tournament? another thing i liked about it is that it was NHL rules.

I think we did, the one thing that was good about this tournament was the changing of the guard, old to youth.
