"163. America has a much better hockey team then Canada (This is the most unbeleivable)"

I guess you're not familiar with the 1960 and especially the 1980 Winter Olympics.

It wasn't unbelievable that an American team was better than a Canadian team, it was unbelievable that this particular team was any good at all, considering how bad they were when we first saw them in the first movie. You can't turn a group of complete beginners into the best team in the league within one season, especially not in Minnesota, a state which produces some of the best hockey players in the world.
