...actually a little too neat. Once the connection is made, it feels obvious, and neither slavery nor vampirism reveals anything in particular about the other. One could imagine a richer, subtler treatment of the subject, in which the two horrors multiply each other rather than cancel each other out.

Crosby's shot slipped through the wickets of American goaltender Ryan Miller, who was so terrific throughout the Olympics that he was named tournament MVP long before the game was decided. Iginla to Crosby for the gold medal? Are you kidding me? "You're going to see a lot of kids growing up now, dreaming they were Sidney Crosby, scoring in overtime...
