Nasty hit from Brandon Sutter on Alexei Cherepanov. Cherepanov is out for the rest of the series.
Legein (and Turris) scored again…
Scoring 2 goals in 2 games and helping Canada come up with a 2-0 lead in the Super Series. Also, apparently Mr. Kyle Turris (yes it’s true I am in his fan club…known as Flunky #1…be jealous…VERY jealous.) has scored 2 goals as well. Anyway I think I may have to start my own Stefan Legein fan club….anyone want to join? Come on let me know…
