I missed the Winter Classic yesterday but from everything I've seen and heard so far it sounds as though it was another good one. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened had it rained like it was forcasted. Would they really have called the game after 2 periods?
The Olympic rosters for Canada and the US have been announced finally. No real surprises for Canada and has to be considered the favorites going into Vancouver. Not sure I agree with the US decision to focus on the youth. Only two players over the age of 34 amd an overall average age of 26. I guess if anything they will be fun to watch though I am a bit disappointed TJ Oshie didn't make the squad.
Lastly, the Blues fired Andy Murray this morning. Not sure if I agree with this. Rumors have been swirling for awhile that it was coming but I see it as a case of it's easier to fire a coach than to get rid of several players. Word has it the older vets loved him and backed him but the young guns stopped listning awhile back which is stupid if true. Did they learn nothing during their second half run last year? Play the system and you'll be sucessful. Sounds like some of the younger players started buying into their own hype and need to grow up.
