Drury Scores At Olympics vs Norway

I Told You He Could Make a Difference


Hey, I don't wanna say that I told you so, but I FREAKIN' TOLD YOU SO!

Chris Drury, the overlooked and under appreciated elder statesman of the USA Hockey team netted a goal in the 1st period of today's USA-Norway match-up.  Drury scored off an assist from Rangers' teammate Ryan Callahan and new Olympic stud David Backes.

Let's take a look back at exactly what I said yesterday, shall we?

So basically Ron Wilson is using Drury as an on-ice assistant coach? I love that Drury is on the team, but I wish he was getting a little more love than this. The guy can still play, and he can still score even if he is having a bit of a down year.

I hope Drury shows everyone some flashes of his old self and surprises the world with an offensive outburst up there in Vancouver to shut a few people up.

Doubters, consider yourselves silenced!  

Drury's goal added to Toronto's Phil Kessel's tally to give the Americans a 2-0 lead, which they currently hold in the second period.  Oh and as a sidenote, Drury just headlined a penalty kill unit that completely stuffed Norway's powerplay opportunity.

GO TERRIERS!
