I was watching HNIC and like the guys there were saying, I'd hate to be the guys in charge of picking the Canadian team. There are so many talented Canadian players to choose from. I am glad to see Bertuzzi playing well and on the team. I have put the whole "incident" behind as has the rest of hockey. He will make a big impact. As Gretzky said pre-season, with the new rules, Bertuzzi could be unstoppable.

As for Crosby, he is a very talented player for sure but given the wide range of players out there who have both World Cup and Olympic experience, it is more difficult to justify an 18 year old kid getting on the roster. I do admire how he handled it though. He was very gracious and classy. If it had been an NBA or NFL player, well, enough said.
