You've got the current Norris Trophy winner Drew Doughty. That's all you need!!

Sorry fellas but the Chicago BlackHawks seem to win this thing called the Stanley Cup every other year!

Captain Blackhawk is playing for Team Canada.

I didn't think much of Team Europe last night Bill, but those Team NA kids sure skated rings around them. Be interesting to see how they fare against a stronger team.

Stick a fork in 'em. They are done. Like I said last year at this time, giving 10 mil apiece to Kane and the Captain allows no room for signing the average working Joe's that makes a Stanley Cup winner. They have had to give up too many good players the last few years and with just a 1.6 mil increase in the cap this year their troubles are only going to get worse.

I am afraid my Kings are in the same boat. Couldn't even sign Lucic!!

I hope I am wrong on both teams because I like the Blackhawks franchise (except for Kane of course).

The U.S. pushed us around pretty good on Friday night. It was good to see Canada push them back last night. Saturday's game did not have the flow like Friday's since there were so many penalties.

These two teams meet for real on Tuesday the 13th. It wouldn't surprise me if the final was also a U.S./Canada affair.
