Those Uncle Sam pads have to worth a .150 GAA increase all by themselves.
All joking aside, the World Championship could be just what Darling needs if they ever let him play a game.
He played the 3d per of the exhibition against Denmark. Gave up nothing in a close game. Dr. Ryan had an assist.
I hope Ryan is MVP of the stupid tournament and plays his way into a huge contract .... somewhere else.

Heard someone today on NHL Radio's Power Play show (didn't catch who) that was being interviewed for insight into this summer's draft prospects.
Dahlin the clear #1 in his opinion with #2 and #3 close. He would understand if Carolina picked Zadina due to perceived chemistry, but thought Svetchnikov had the higher ceiling.
Both scorers, but he preferred Svetchnikov due to ceiling and more physical game. But acknowledged that Zadina had perhaps more scoring skill from all over the ice. Described him as a more opportunistic scorer with an implied contrast that Svetchnikov created his own opportunities.
Still a Svetchnikov fan here. That Zadina/Necas narrative is just way too easy to recite with very little thinking. It's not that many games they've had together, after all.
Please...draft the talent. We need to hit for the fences.
