Way to many "character" guys selected over skilled players. Yeah you need one or two guys who will play the heavy game and PK and such. But in a tournament like the Oly's are and on big ice, you need the most skill you can gather and let them loose.
Ryam Smith, Kris Draper, Shane Doan instead of Sid, Staal and Spezza as an example.
Guess who was in charge of it all though?
He of two-tiered fandom himself....Kevin Lowe.
Self explanatory at that point really.
