K, now; the hockey team has been chosen. They’ve decided to go with experience and depth rather than youth and energy. Fine. On the whole, should work.
But still… Berstupizzi on the team? Gimme a fuckin’ break here. The guy’s an idiot. Goon. Gorilla with half the grey power. Not a very nice guy. Remember, you heard it here first.
Bertuzzi – you suck, but the Canadian Olympic Committee gets to make the final decision, looks like. I bet they say you suck too. And although Crosby might not be ready just yet, arguably Phaneuf is.
And what about Spezza? From the CBC Sports site:
Crosby isn’t only young, highly-touted player forced to stay home. Neither Jason Spezza nor Eric Staal earned spots on the squad. Most pundits predicted at least one would be heading to Turin, Italy.
Staal leads the NHL with 24 goals and Spezza has been a catalyst for the high-scoring Ottawa Senators. Both, along with Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Bryan McCabe, will be the team’s alternates in case of injury.
Here’s the entire roster, once again courtesy of the CBC. Comments? Criticisms? If you’re a Vancouver fan, keep it witty, or I’ll spam your ass.
Heh – I’m liking this blog thingy.
