from the Colorado Springs Gazette,
The days of Chris Chelios, Keith Tkachuk and other grizzled veterans roaming an Olympic-size sheet probably will give way to a youthful but physical crop of players capable of holding their own on an NHL surface.
“We’ve got to move forward,” said Burke, GM of the Anaheim Ducks and former GM of the Vancouver Canucks and Hartford Whalers. “The team we’re going to put on the ice in 2010 in Vancouver has to be a different team.”
Most consider the U.S., sixth-place finishers at the world championships in May in Canada, a medal contender for Vancouver because of an influx of young talent.
