Crosby gets a chance to chase gold
Team Canada alternate captain Sidney Crosby has dreamed about playing in a gold-medal game most of his life. Friday night, that dream came true as his Canadians held off a spirited late charge to defeat a Slovakian. With the 3-2 win at Canada Hockey Place, Team Canada booked passage into a dream gold-medal game against Team USA, which is 5-0 in this tournament after a 6-1 pasting of Finland earlier in the day in the other semifinal. Crosby, who had three shots and an even rating Friday night, stopped to talk exclusively to NHL.com after the game.

McClung signs Minors deal with Marlins
McClung has reached agreement on a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training. His deal is similar to that of another former Brewers reliever.

From 2003-06, McClung pitched for Tampa Bay.
The Marlins have stated that they are looking to strengthen their bullpen. Jose Veras, who pitched for the Yankees and Indians last year, also will get a look on a Minor League contract. The Miami Herald reports Florida also has signed right-hander Scott Strickland to a Minor League contract. Hope he can play well in the marlins jersey.

Hiller has posted a 54-37-5 record with a 2.46 goals-against average in 108 career NHL appearances in his anaheim ducks jersey.
