Totally agree ... but I fight off the fan wants something to happen so convinces himself etc whenever I can.
The Worlds is certainly a great opportunity to prove he can play with pro players, but that tourney has never been all that physical, and it's played on bigger international ice ... therefore I'm still somewhat hesitant
