An actual fifteen second clip of the USA's defeat of Sweden (aside: in what I suppose we can literally call THE WORLD's ugliest uniforms) last night on ESPN. Keith Obermann first intentionally mispronounced Parris Duffus' name in the usual way, then pronounced it correctly to prove he could, I guess, and finally finished up with the opinion, "and you can take it from me, all the Duffuses go to Cornell". Another proud alum speaketh. Anyway, Duffus has backed the USA all the way to the tournament semifinal against (from memory now, no guarantees) the winner of Germany-Czech Republic. If nothing else, he's getting great exposure. I hope the Blues (or whoever holds his rights these days) is paying attention. - Greg HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
