I love these cartoons!
Of course this is referring to Sidney Crosby's exclusion from the Men's Olympic hockey team. Really though sould a rookie get the nod to represent its country at the highest level? I think so, especially when you put his numbers against the likes of Martin St. Louis aren't even near his. He's #16 on the points list, Not to mention the alternate Staal who is 8th. Marty doesn't even make top 50.
Some would argue that Ryan Smith shouldn't be there (Kenny) but the truth of the matter is that Ryan Smith is the hardest working man in hockey.
So, on this post I would like proposals from the readers about who they would Drop and Pick up off the Canadian Olympic team.
Here's the current list
Goalies:
Martin Brodeur
Roberto Luongo
Marty Turco
Defencemen:
Rob Blake
Adam Foote
Ed Jovanovski
Scott Niedermayer
Chris Pronger
Wade Redden
Robyn Regehr
Forwards:
Todd Bertuzzi
Shane Doan
Kris Draper
Simon Gagne
Dany Heatley
Jarome Iginla
Vincent Lecavalier
Rick Nash
Brad Richards
Joe Sakic
Ryan Smyth
Martin St. Louis
Joe Thornton
Spare: Eric Staal
So tell me, who would you drop? Who would you put in his spot? Keep in mind that St. Louis is a bum.

I'd ditch Bertuzzi (asshole), St. Louis (old and unproductive), Rick Nash (injury prone) or Draper (finished) to bump Staal and Crosby into the starters. Gretzky's too devoted to his pals. -LP
Oh, I forgot Shane Doan. He's first to go. LP
As it turns out LP was exactly right... On yeat another subject.
