So while it's duh obvious to take Celebrini we should at least be relieved that HC did not repeat that blunder.

Staal and Spezza were also left off the team and they were having even better seasons than Crosby at the time the team was named.
At the end of the 2005-06 season, the overall leaguewide top 6 in points were: Thornton, Crosby, Staal, Savard, Richards, and Spezza. Thornton and Richards were the only ones on Team Canada at the Olympics.
