There is the link to the hit that you may have missed in the Olympic hockey today. While Steinberg wanted to criticize Ovechkin for missing in the shootout vs. the Slovaks, he did make one in before his skate broke, which Steinberg did not report. He praised Crosby for getting a shootout goal against the Swiss, who won exactly zero games in the tournament, but the Crosby-led team needed a shootout to put them down. The afore-mentioned video demonstrates who is the superior player. The guy who is tougher. The guy who creates opportunities for other teamates so his team can win. The guy who doesn't like to be a Zoolander clone, just play hockey. The guy who has his team at the top of the standings of his group after the preliminaries, even after Crosby finished four points out of his. If you asked Malkin who we would rather play with The Princess or The Great 8, what do you think he would say?
The US game tonight was sweet. But it was a far cry from watching a Caps game and a little weird. First off, the crowd was completely decked in red, but were not rooting for my team. Secondly, it made me anxious rooting for a lesser team, I am used to just rooting for the Caps. I would really not like to see the Canadians again, they are an all-star team, even with a guy I think is the best goaltender in the world wearing our colors. And thirdly, does everyone in Canada always look like they are about to cry as noted in the picture above? Go USA and keep it up!
