Parts of this roster make me mad.
Kunitz, too. But I can deal with the whole "conserving linemates" approach.

Team Canada has a wealth of riches as far as picking players for the NHL team. Your comparisons at forward say nothing except for the fact Team Canada went with different players. Are we really comparing a playmaking center in Thornton to a sniper im Carter? Or a small skilled dynamic winger in St. Louis vs a big power forward im Nash?
The Hamhuis and Giordano comparison is more appropriate and I have always thought that Hamhuis would be the one selected over Giordano bases on Hamhuis' Team Canada experience and the defensive consistency he showed pn a good NHL team the past few seasons. Giordano in comparison has been inconsistent on a bad team.
