Canadian Doughnuts
As you've probably read on every single Los Angeles Kings-related blog or Twitter feed, 20-Year-Old Drew Doughty has made the Canadian Olympic Team. Oh, what's that? You hadn't heard this yet? Let me refresh your memory:
So, Drew Doughty is 20 years old, playing 25 minutes a night for the Kings and is now going to win a gold medal with Canada in the Olympics. And the GM of Team Canada had this to say:
"We felt that Drew Doughty in this case is little bit more complete a player and based on how he played at the world championships and saw him play in big games that he was a better fit for us," said Yzerman. "I'll just simply say the seven defencemen we picked were the seven we liked the best."Who is the GM of Team Canada? 3-time Stanley Cup winning, all-world player Steve Yzerman. That's some pretty awesome praise.
This is not the first time Drew Doughty has worn Team Canada colors.
