Q: Given that none of the Hawks' Olympians are particularly lighting up the score sheets, which one do you think is most frustrated by his individual performance so far?
Steve (Oswego)
A: It’s hard to get inside their heads, but I’m sure Brent Seabrook might be a little surprised playing less than double digit minutes per game. He and Duncan Keith were brought in as a tandem, and they aren’t getting big minutes together. And you know Patrick Kane is the type who wants to see his name in the box score, because that is how he contributes -- with points. He has a goal, but I’d expect he’d want more after three games.

"And then Ovechkin, this great, magnificent force of nature who has somehow flown under the radar here as he and his powerful Russian team circle like buzzards above the hockey hype, left the rink in a hurried rush, barely pausing to talk to reporters in the mixed zone. Seems he, like everyone else in North America, didn't want to miss a shift of Canada vs. the United States, otherwise known as a game the hosts simply could not, would not, dare to lose."

Kane on playing against teammates: "It was different and not very fun I'd say. I was out there against Duncs a lot and you see how good he really is. I wasn't out against Tazer and Seabs that much, but I thought they both played really well. Good to see them have a big impact on the game and have the Blackhawks well represented."

And here is the movie version:
-"Miracle on Ice" spawned tradition of clapping during national anthem at Chicago Blackhawks games
Rocky Wirtz: "That was the first time people started cheering during the national anthem. That's when it started, everyone brought flags and were chanting ["USA, USA"].
"It was really something to see. And it still sends chills up my spine."
