Kris Swarthout, a 42-year-old may have snagged the keepsake of these Games thus far: a stray puck from Saturday’s epic, overtime-then-shootout USA-Russia hockey game. The grab was impressive.
The puck flew over the glass early in the first period, and despite being vastly outnumbered by Russian fans in the 12,000 capacity Bolshoy Ice Dome, Swarthout — dressed in a vintage Mike Modano Team USA jersey — made a clean pick....
