I was holding out hope that maybe St. Louis would have gone as an injury replacement for some OTHER player, and there would be a St.Louis/LuckySOB/Stamkos line at the Olympics.

(Just like there is going to be a Kunitz/Crosby/LuckySOB line.)

I see that Bill Belichick and Peyton Manning were in the same foursome during a practice round at Pebble Beach. My question for Belichick would be, "Does Manning scream "Omaha" before every shot, or just off the tee?"
