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.

As a Kings fan, there really is no way to feel about Drew Doughty's selection to Team Canada than estatic. I mean just check out who Drew will be hanging out with in the locker room for those 2 weeks in February:

Goalies
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils
Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins
Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks

 

Defensemen
Dan Boyle, San Jose Sharks
Duncan Keith, Chicago Blackhawks
Scott Niedermayer, Ducks (C)
Chris Pronger, Flyers (alternate captain)
Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks
Shea Weber, Nashville Predators

Forwards
Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins (A)
Ryan Getzlaf, Anaheim Ducks
Dany Heatley, San Jose Sharks
Jarome Iginla, Calgary Flames (A)
Patrick Marleau, San Jose Sharks
Brenden Morrow, Dallas Stars
Rick Nash, Columbus Blue Jackets
Corey Perry, Anaheim Ducks
Mike Richards, Philadelphia Flyers
Eric Staal, Carolina Hurricanes
Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks
Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks

Yeah, I'd say that's an upgrade from sharing a locker room stall with Teddy Purcell and Brad Richardson. Congrats Drew, now go out there tonight and celebrate with a victory against Canada by beating the Calgary Flames in Calgary. Just don't have a beer cause you are still underage in the States.

Hey Chris, congrats on Drew Doughty! I knew you would be excited about this when I heard the news. Where on earth did you find that Drew Doughty card, lol?

Big Dustin Penner went stone cold prior to the selection. I don't think that he even made the short list.

Thanks, Jay! It's pretty exciting for us Kings fans. And the reaction from the Canadian Mainstream Media (CAMSM?) has been funny. In the Calgary game tonight, Doug MacLean kept pointing that Doughty was beat by Bourque for the first goal... like this particular game was the reason Doughty shouldn't have been picked. But then, the dude next to MacLean (no idea who he was) said if Doughty was on an Eastern Conference team... no one would be doubting this choice.

Many womenswear trends ultimately cross over to the men's market, but not all. Take the Ugg boot. Ugg is really punting its

It can't be a matter of effeminacy; they're meant to be unisex. Those who first favoured the wool-lined sheepskin boot were not

The loans seem to be useful for people, which are willing to organize their own career. In fact, this is not very hard to get a auto loan.
