Small sample size but yeah surprising how many people already don't seem to care about Team Canada. To be fair I don't really give a gosh darn about the Olympics aside from the Hockey as it's the best chance to see the absolute best vs. best of every country. I can understand people becoming a bit inundated by the unnecessarily long and extensive hype of who should be selected for pretty much TWO EFFING YEARS (I noticed as soon as the Beijing games were over) but once the games actually start it will be hard not to be stoked for this competition.
As for the Bergeron pick I don't hate it. He's obviously a versatile player has played well with Crosby in the past and would be a right handed shot on that supposed top line of Nash - Crosby - Bergeron. I still think Iggy will be given a shot at that line though, no reason to think that just because they were a bit rough in a scrimmage game near the end of the offseason they couldn't put it together. I still would have liked St. Louis instead of Bergeron but when pretty much everything else panned out the way I'd hoped I can't complain too much.
