Also (and sorry for the derail) but I don't remember it being a bad idea at the time, but after that he became just another player, bouncing around the league.

Sorry it looked like you were implying that Brewer was the last guy from 2002 still playing. If you were not... my bad.

Incidentally, Eric Brewer was the last man standing from that team, by a longshot. He appears to have retired after last season. So the question is, what the hell was Eric Brewer doing on the Olympic team?

He was the Kevin Lowe Roster Addition (TM).

Ha. I thought you were implying that Iginla got him on the team.
Also,  , I did mean he was the last guy playing. Guess I missed a slightly obvious one.

Simon Gagne was the youngest player on the team at age 21 and he only just retired last season as well.

Simon Gagne also retired after Brewer. Pronger is technically not retired.

If I was rich and had the cash, I'd totally buy it and wear it around the office while playing the arrogant jerk.
That's right ladies, this is my Olympic medal.
Did you win it
Nope, but I certainly did earn it, then I'd powerslam my boss through the coke machine.

The medal itself doesn't have Belfour's name stamped on it or anything, it's virtually identical to the medals anybody else on the team would have gotten so in that respect, it makes it a nice keepsake as it could have been given to any of the team members and ended up his by random chance.
The only place where his name appears is on a piece of paper in the box which doesn't really matter.

My face is a bum!

Wasn't it Belfour's or Josef's medal that broke right after the game? Or do I have the wrong Olympics?

Of all people, you should be telling the ladies that you won it with a freakin' broken neck!

Feels like collecting and displaying war medals. Other people did amazing feats and now I am displaying the recognition of those feats which I had absolutely nothing to do with...I just think it's cool I guess?
meh

Possibly this could be the reason why Belfour is selling the medal?

Ugh, I wish I wasn't poor. I'd snap up that Black hawks mask in a heartbeat. Along with the Blackhawks Jersey. Actually, I'd buy one of his Dallas Stars masks too. And some Blackhawks pads. Of god if I had money I'd be poor right after buying all of Eddie's stuff. Thank god I am poor.
He was and is my favorite player of all time.

Belfour has ~ $50 mln in career earnings:

If he's broke, that's ... Wow.
