Maybe I'm biased. I admit I'm a Calgary Flames fan so I thought Bowmeister and maybe Phanuef should have made it. Otherwise, this might end up being not a half bad team. After all remember what happened last time? Team Canada blew it!
What do you think? Do you think this is a gold medal winning team? Are there others you think should have made the team? Are you disappointed with any of the choices? What say you?
I don't care about the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteThe only event in the Olympics that I really pay attention to and enjoy is the hockey both mens and womens. Other than that the games really don't interest me.
ReplyDeleteNo Canada did not pick the best players, I also think that Jay Beaumeester and Dion Phaneuf should have been chosen, as well as Mike Cammallari from Montreal Canadiens. Cammallari has be a prolific goal scorer with the three teams he has played for. Martin St Louis would also be a better selection instead of Mike Richards. Second, we did not get the best coach. Pat Quinn who coached Canada to a gold medal in Salt Lake would have been a better choice; Brent Sutter who coached the Canadian Juniors to back to back gold medals would also make an exceptional coach. I do not think that our Canadian mens hockey team will do very well; so, I hope that the ladies excel and bring home the gold
