Team Canada roster -- Fisher got jobbed

Devo wrote:Another message from my friend. He said that he has confirmation that Mike isn't on the team and that in fact he says Mike was never really being considered.

He migth of been talk about but I agree... If Canada would have chosen a Fisher over a Richards or Staal and lose... Can you imagine the critisizm for Stevie Y.... The same kind as to not bring Crosby in Turino...

Cmon now Spez... You know there gonna make us suffer lol!

Very weak this BS. Other countries do it quick.

They have 1hour of coverage for this on TSN... Im guessing they will youse every last bit of it..

Stevie Y can't win unless Canada wins gold. If he leaves Fisher off the team and Canada doesn't win gold and Fisher continues to play well then he'll be blamed for not taking the hot player. If he leaves Richards or Staal off then he's blamed for taking unproven players.

The only way taking fisher and Canada losing works for Yzerman is if FIsher leads the Olympics in scoring.

Wow... First surprise Dougthy made the team.. Who didnt...

D-men are being announced alphabetically...means no Bouw or Phaneuf

Neidermayer(C)-Pronger(A)
Keith-Seabrook
Boyle-Weber
Dougthy

That is a stacked blueline.

Very pretty!

Advantage: Canada

Most definetly the best in the Tournament...

Perhaps, lots of teams with some pretty nice bluelines though.

Doughty doesn;t surprise me too much, as Stevie said they'd be looking for the guy who were hot right now

Way to go Doughty! Good to see him there.

I'm not surprised because Doughty is a generational player...this kid is going to be a phenom as he gets older. This is just the beginning for him.

Forwards coming up... Bergeron made it... Good for him with all he's been trew...

Crosby with the other A.... None for Iginla... Surprising...


Whooopsss they have 3A's my bad Iginla is one...

Bergeron means no Mikey

no Green? would have been nice on the PP
