If anyone wasn't aware, Eric Francis either knows nothing or just likes to say stupid things to get attention. None of his criticisms of the St Louis selection made any sense, and his alternate selection would've been one of Eric Staal or Tyler Seguin.

For those that didn't hear:

1. He's too small. Team America named big guys as their reserves. On big ice. So we can't have a small guy. The teams that have won the Stanley Cup recently have all been big teams. This is a two-week best-on-best tournament. Never mind that St-Louis has a Stanley Cup, and he got it against a big mean team that was allowed to get away with a helluva lot more than teams are allowed now.
2. He's 38 years old. He's also the reigning Art Ross winner, and again, this is a two week best-on-best tournament. He's not all of a sudden going to age five years in the next 18 days.
3. Oh yeah, he's still small. Fleury was small, he won a gold medal too.


I feel like I've wasted the time it took to write this. I dislike Francis a whole lot after this interview.
