The Bolts
Nikita Kucherov scored another two goals at the World Championship. The first goal was scored after a brilliant assist by Nikita Gusev, their duo is still most effective on a Russian team.

An interview with Cole Caufield, an American NHL Draft-Eligible prospect [USA HOCKEY NATIONAL TEAM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM]
Caufield wrapped up his career by leaving his name permanently etched in the record books at the International Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 World Championship. He was named the tournament MVP after tying Alexander Ovechkin’s single-record tournament record with 14 goals from 2002.
“It’s pretty cool just to be mentioned in the same category as him,” said Caufield. “It was the team; I couldn’t have done it without them. I thought we played well throughout the tournament. Without them, there is no way I would have broken the record.”

Defending Big D compared the Dallas Stars players to characters from the Game of Thrones [Defending Big D]
Mats Zuccarello — Jon Snow
Did we choose this matchup based on similar hairstyles? Maybe. Much like Jon Snow, Zuccarello came into the team knowing nothing, but learned very, very quickly about his new compatriots. That month on the IR works as a nice little parallel to when Snow was killed. However, like Snow, Zuccarello came roaring back to life just in time for the big battle (the playoffs)
Ok, I’m not sure what is this about (translation from Russian: manuscripts don’t burn)
Proper Russian @ovi8!
