goal and an assist in Nagano... Strong defensive play emphasized in his not
being on the ice for a goal against in Nagano... Another defenceman who's used
to playing a ton every night and could be in a position to do more with
less... One of the great bodycheckers in the game.,.A big reason why Team
Canada has the strongest blue line at the Olympics.
