"No one should view the goaltender competition to be over because DiPietro is hurt now. He has the competitive arrogance and athleticism to be a dominant player in a tournament like the Olympics. … He could be like Jim Craig was in 1980 and crank it up for 30 days and be the star of the tournament. DiPietro has that ability."
>>Brian Burke, U.S. Olympic team GM, on Rick DiPietro.
Here's hoping he's healthy enough to crank it up for 30 days and then some.
