Nobody cares about your useless stats. The cold hard fact is that Keith and Seabrook did not play well in an exhibition game against a team called the Zurich Lions. Because you know, nothing beats the pressure of having to play an exhibition game against a team from Switzerland that plays in...umm...you know...that league.
Oh yeah, and Kalinin's a better defenseman than Niedermayer because he wouldn't have let Ovechkin undress him like that. Kalinin would have let Ovy take the outside and spare his dignity.
Maybe someone will enlighten us about how Sidney Crosby, while as a youngster playing for his midget team against a team from some foreign country, scored into his own net and how that will affect his play during the Olympics.
