This whole situation really just sucks for me. I was really excited about the prospects of watching such a big event in Canada and now I am some kind of soured.
I'm am torn because I find it really hard to get behind some of the choices being made by the coaching staff. It actually started before that when the team was picked.
I mean most of us know Regehr was not even close to making this team. Phaneuf played decent enough I think to garner more consideration but was on the bubble regardless and inevitably wasn't picked (whatever). Bouwmeester is having an off year offensively, but has been mostly solid defensively...that's pretty obvious. Who isn't having a bad offensive year on the Flames for the most part?
I don't think any of those guys would really look much worse than Neidermayer who is starting to play like he looks...old.
Then to see one of the most respected players in the entire league, singled out, it really makes me hate the team. Not that Iginla is the answer as most here have said, but he certianly has been no worse than most and to make him a bubble player is borderline insane imo.
* For the record, I hope they win gold and dominate the rest of the way...I am just finding it hard to get that into it. I can't wait for Flames hockey again.
I know, I know, take of my Flames blinders blah blah blah lol.
Anywho, Go Canada Go!
