Look, there's Crow's Mom and Dad, and there's Papa Kaner, and the elder Saader. And the Shawzies - you know, the parents of that rascally, head-butting kid who's unafraid of boxing bigger boys on the ice.

"He's always been the guy in your ear, buggin' somebody, so it's bred right into him I guess," said Doug Shaw, Andrew Shaw's father.

Well, there ya go. Doug Shaw used to fight when he played. Like father, like son.

"I get mad and I'd fight. He enjoys it. He enjoys it," Doug said. "He can go after anybody and drive 'em crazy, cause he drives us crazy."

Hold it a moment... George Saad's omelet has arrived. These days, he'll answer to Saader.

"I always say, God bless America. This is the land of opportunity," said George Saad, father of Brandon Saad.

George says that with reverence because he immigrated to the states from Syria when he was 18. The new country held a new life - a successful one - and now he's the proud father of a young star with blazing skates.

"When you came to the states you didn't know anything about hockey. No absolutely not. It was new sports to me. I couldn't even skate. Can you today. Well, I'm not that bad. Let's put it that way," George said.

And since he's been watching it for years, proudly marking his son's progress, George knows hockey today, and he's not worried about tonight.

"We're still in good shape. I'm not panicking yet," George said.

"Do you have any advice for your son?" ABC7's Paul Meincke asks Doug.

"No. He doesn't listen to me. I don't think he listened to me when I coached him. Actually he did," Doug said. "He knows what he's got to do. I don't need to tell him. These guys are the pros. I'm just the father."
