If Crosby was the one bright spot for Canada and was going to wreck his body possibly making him less effective for the Penguins all for a lost cause and a group of guys running the show that you didn't like I think I would have the same opinion.
Nash playing for Canada to get beat by the real powers a little less than normal and wrecking his back isn't worth it. The Triano firing just made it that much easier for him to say no.
