Rolston’s NHL dream too hard to suppress
Brian Rolston was faced with a choice most 20-year-olds can only dream about: Should he go for the Olympic gold or NHL glory? With the door still open for a possible return to the U.S. Olympic team, Rolston reported to the New Jersey Devils’ training camp as a top candidate to win one of the team’s wide-open spots at center. “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but if I don’t make it with the Devils I’ll go back to the Olympic team. I have the best of both worlds,” Rolston said. “I do want to make this team and I’m going to work my hardest to make it.” It was not an easy decision for Rolston, the Devils’ second pick (11th overall) in the 1991 entry draft.

How dare Campbell say, “Does anyone even remember who these people were?” I am one American who knows who Jack Adams, James Norris, Lester Patrick and Conn Smythe were. The dropping of their names from the NHL’s divisions they helped form is nothing less than a slap in the face.
