Love it or hate it, it's just the way it is. Before anyone gets on Gabby for that one you should consider what would happen if Drury or Hank got hurt? What if he had won the gold medal? You can't expect a player to pass on the shot at olympic gold, if they pass on that chance it's probably just a sign of a lack of passion for the game or drive.chef davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07569388608243569684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526234141396194760.post-89889422421943541422010-10-07T09:41:59.500-04:002010-10-07T09:41:59.500-04:00Yeah, Stepan does indeed look great.

But, suggesting he should get an A or C now (although a joke)or in the near future, and pretty much annointing him Rangers savior at this pt is like proposing to a marginally hot chick you just met a bar...
