Maybe this is just nasty but I smiled today when i read that Spezza plays on Canada's fourth line.
This Ottawa hate will never die . What did he ever do to me?
Of course, his fourth line also includes Martin St. Louis and Eric Staal - not bad company.
The star line of getzlaf, heatley and Nash has taken the spotlight. even Doan and Toews take turns on the fourth line.
Canada plays Norway today. canada is 3-0-0, norway is 1-1-1.

note re injuries:
Lightning center Jeff halpern ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the USA/Canada game and is expected to be sidelined until late December or early January. He also sprained the medial collateral ligament and suffered a small tear to the lateral meniscus while playing for Team USA on Tuesday.
He'll need reconstructive surgery on the ACL in about 4-6 weeks. The operation will require an additional 5 to 6 months recovery time.
Eek.
