2014 Winter Olympics: Canada Takes On Austria As Group C Play Starts In Men's Hockey

So yesterday was a good day to be a Dallas Stars fan. Between Valeri Nichushkin and Jamie Benn's performances, the Stars' offensive leaders got some well deserved attention after the games.

Jagr's right: Valeri Nichushkin is going to be a star.

A reminder that nine NHL teams passed on Valeri Nichushkin in the draft last summer. Silly wabbits.

I presume "Nichushkin" is Russian for "flying train"

Tollefsen has been a human wrecking ball for Norway but not a great investment is trying to hit Jamie Benn

@dstaples Funny thing is I was on the fence about Benn's inclusion on Team Canada. Sure looked good early, though.
