Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Another beautiful Richard Zednik goal. Could he be the best former Cap in the League right now?

I’ll go with Gonchar…while I don’t think the fact that the Pens have crapped the bed this year is all due to him being injured, he’s definitely a HUGE part of their team

Agreed on Gonch, but he’s not in the Leauge right now. ;-)

Way to go Zed!

Always liked the kid. When we were a poor man’s team, Bondra and Zednik were kind of a poor man’s Ovechkin/Semin. He never put it all together here and many questioned his hockey sense and heart. I think he’s proven both by staying in the league and coming back from that horrific injury. Good for him.

I loved Zednik when he played for the Caps (both times) and I always root for him when he’s not playing the Caps. His heart should never be questioned, playing at his size and making it as a 10th round draft pick.

Interestingly enough, of the 5 players who were taken in the 10th round in 1994, 4 were NHL regulars at some point (Holmstrom, Zednik, Nash, and Berezin, in descending order of quality).

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
