Ok he's nuts about Crosby but Girioux should abosofawkinlutely be there. Marleau but no Girioux? I think Brian Burke May have been on the team Canada committee spouting his nonsense.

Girioux is the leagues hottest player since Dec 1.

Tell it to my heart.
Tell me I'm the only one.
Is it really douchey or just a game...



Crikey, back from vacation to a minus -15 degree commute and easily double that with windchill. Thought hell had frozen over, yummy cakes was suddenly my best friend and domcha was planning a parade. Whew, it wasn't a nightmare, just jet lag.

So what else did I miss?

I agree Giroux should have been on the team, but CG over Crosby? The projected captain of Team Domcha, and the one who scored the golden goal? Get real, just shows how dumb Flyers fans are

I enjoy seeing the West teams, just hate the late starts on a work night, since I don't miss a game, and since you rag on our division so much, the Pens are 8-2 against the west

Thank you for beating the Cansucks. Any time you beat the Cansucks, you are doing the NHL a favor.

No. Contrary to popular belief in Pittsburgh. Not every Pengoon deserves to be on a Olympic roster. I wouldn't have had Kunitz on there either.


And Yummy, no Seabrook? WTF, Is his skating weak or something?

Clearly Rick Nash is more important than the #3 canadian goal scorer in the league

And Kunitz definitely belongs on there

Not sure. He's arguably better than Pickles or Hamhuis. But, I think it has alot to do with Babs' need for 4 lefties and 4 righties.

Seabrook would've made sense paired with Keith since they go so well together.

I attribute most of the weird decisions on this team to Kevin Lowe. He has assembled the Oilers team...and we know how successful he is at that.

Kunitz is a wild-card. If he was not the next Rob Brown and playing with one of the best scorers, would he have the success that he does?

But, you can't discount that either and so, I assume he'll be next to Sid in the Olympics.



Word on the street is that Nash is also a close buddy to Sid. Combine that with Nash's experience and decent stats in International competition (his Jackets were never in the playoffs, so he had lotsa practice! ), he got the inside track.

I'm sure he cradles the balls quite well after playing for the Jackets and Rangers...

Once you knee a guy in the head, your chances of making the national team are slim and none.

Now it's clear why the Kings lost in the SO to the lowly North Stars:

Clearly caused by the KISS of death.

Guessing you were talking to Rounder not me, but I already said that this is why Neal didn't make it.
