Mats Sundin might help .... great player, lots of class, and at 37, he will add stability and experience .... and lots of the great ones have been a little older ... Gordie Howe comes to mind, also Raymond Bourque, Chris Chelios, Mark Messier, and the GREAT ONE himself.
But getting back to the Juniors, that Russia game was right up there with the final game in Moscow in the 70s, when Henderson notched the winner with almost no time left on the clock .... Pull the goalie; get the tying goal with only 5 seconds left ... and then win the shoot out ... it doesn't get any better ... it was even more exciting than coming back from 3 goals down against the US to get the 7-4 victory ... but it's always a blast to beat the yanks
