    Wow. It always blows my mind to think of an 18-year-old anybody playing any pro sport. Remember 18? I do; I was an overgrown child -- in fact, not even fully grown at that age, and certainly more boy than man. I hope Michelle Wie doesn't burn out....

  2. I hope they can keep that team together. It's so hard to do in the NHL. Teams make crazy trades and seem to always let the wrong people go. Of course, the new salary cap isn't going to help them keep all the young guys either.
