Plus he is a very effective penalty killer. You win tournaments like that with great special teams. You need guys that are willing to accept and fill a role. It says a lot that he was in the lineup for the big game and Kyle Connor was not. Quote

No NTDP or WJC. One WC appearance and none since starting his pro career despite Winnipeg often hitting the links early. Brock goes to the WC a lot and has lit it up a few times. Loves putting on the USA sweater and USA Hockey knows it. D-Boss said something along the lines of people who want to play in 4 Nations and the Olympics should play in the WC if their team is eliminated. Quote
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Kleven got worked by Lowry last night after laying the kind of hit that wasn't called in the N, but would have gotten him ejected in the NCHC. Quote

sioux rube Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Jonathan Toews is back on the ice after missing nearly two years “I’m not satisfied the way things ended in Chicago. It’s not about proving anything. It’s just that there’s something left in the tank and I want to explore that. I want to go have fun, have a blast, play with passion. But at the same time, I still have some high-level hockey left. I want to be able to step away from the game having said that I’ve given it my all. And I still think there’s something left to give. Everyone just assumed I was retired, but I think in my mind, I wasn’t too sure for a long time. I just needed to not think about it, to just give myself time and space. … Now I’m really missing hockey, and I think that’s the biggest sign. I really miss the game and feel I have a whole different perspective and a new lease on things.” Quote
