Tearing them apart? If these guys have such fragile self-esteem that they can't handle some guys on a hockey forum questioning if they should be on Team Canada, then they're not cut out for professional sports. The public scrutiny and criticism that comes with the entertainment/business of the NHL is a big, big reason these guys get paid millions of dollars a year.
And if we're supposed to lay off young guys, should we lay off Oilers prospects as well? Or is it only once they're drafted by the Flames that these young men deserve public support?
