A Bit More On The Super Series

The CP previews the upcoming Super Series by revisiting the 1972 Summit Series and profiling the Canadian participants.

The entire article makes for a good read, and the short profiles of the two Caps prospects are nothing if not encouraging:

Karl Alzner, Calgary Hitmen -- The big, steady, stay-at-home defenceman doesn't make mistakes in his own end and thus is a calming influence on the back end.

Josh Godfrey, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds -- Another big defenceman who can move the puck and has a howitzer of a slapshot.

And don't forget - the goaltender who Alzner and Godfrey will be facing on most nights is expected to be Simeon Varlamov. Caps fans will no doubt be watching this series very closely.
