Detroit — The facts are there, all laid out, with Troy Stecher being an important component in Team Canada rallying at the men's world championships and winning the tournament June 6 in overtime against Finland.
The Red Wings' defenseman was an alternate captain on Team Canada, played major minutes, and was a big piece of the leadership group.
All of that is great, and speaks well of Stecher.
But, then, there's The Assist.
And let's face it, those several seconds will make Stecher a viral star for infamy.
"When I got home (Vancouver) about two days ago I was talking to my best friend and he said 'Dude, they're going to play that video for Hockey Canada for ever and ever," Stecher told The Detroit News on Thursday.
