Crosby, maturing all the time, could probably learn from Toews in the leadership department perhaps...it's good that Crosby reached out to him like that, that kid's alright...

Something about him emerging from a zamboni and destroying a couple matryoshka dolls with some slappers....and announcing he'll be ready for the Olympics.

Awesome. Glad for him. As others have said, he should have been on the team in the first place. He responded to that snub in the best way possible.

Is there a TV schedule anywhere that's actually easy to read? The schedules on the Olympic/nbc apps are atrocious.
