under turneringen. His first file noted the American team’s distinctive youth:

“This is a young, energetic group of guys we have on this U.S. team, which makes it a lot of fun to be around. Everybody seems to be in the same position as far as being young in our NHL careers, and experiencing the world championships for the first time. Some of the “older” guys have made jokes about not fitting in because they are older than 25, which on this team seems like grandpa status.”

    I was wondering the same thing. I would think that the NHL Network will have some games…

    Here’s hoping. Short of that, one might have to call in a favor at the Canadian Embassy. I do know that TSN is broadcasting all of Canada’s games. Lot of good that does us. The IIHF may set up some costly scheme by which one can view tourney games on the PC, but that’s never held huge appeal to me.

    Would this perhaps be Halpern’s greatest achievement in his hockey career to date? Who would have thought he would captain the national team?

    Would be a terrific question to pose to him, pepper. Recall his being snubbed from the team a couple of years back when the Caps were out of the playoff running by February. This has really been a renaissance season for him.

    Jakub Klepis is playing for the Czech team as well. Missed on a penalty shot against Denmark today.
