Great to see Eakin and Seguin score.

If the Stars just can get in a defensemen or two, they will be beasts next year.

Sidney Crosby becomes the first player to captain Olympic, NHL and Worlds champions. I guess he’ll have to captain that tourney the NHL is starting up again too.

I have a whole new respect for the players who played during that era ..........

Yes they did and we will never forget the contributions of Vladimir (the Gladiator) Konstantinov......What a horrible twist of fate that still brings tears to my eyes.........

Yeah, if I ever get a Wings jersey to match my Probert jersey, Konstantinov will be the one.
