To me this is like Fleury playing in the pre-season, you let him try because its the right thing to do. If it doesn't work out, you are no worth out, because its a far-fetched arguement to suggest Canada is going to get a medal out of this...especially from their worst athlete of the four.

Well then where's the issue? This isn't the preseason, it's the pinnacle of the sport, if the Olympics are about the best vs. the best then this decision is the right one.
It's been somewhat poorly handled in that most people didn't know he was named as an alternate, but outside of that the association didn't do anything wrong.
