NHL's top Canadian players

Agreed.

Seriously. You really think Stevie and Babs will want to put Crosby out there against Zetterberg/Datsyuk during the olympics? Hell no. They will send out Getzlaf. He is the only forward in which I have never seen Z without a doubt outplay on both ends.

Yeah, I'd imagine Heatley-Getzlaf-Nash will be matched up against the Zetterbergs/Datsyuks and Lidstrom of the Tournament, possibly Mike Richards line if he's paired with Morrow as well. Crosby will probably play with Iginla, and be given favorable match-ups. I'm just glad this is Mike Babcock coaching the team, stubborn A-hole who doesnt care if your Zetterberg or Kopecky, your given a role and you better do it right. I could see Sid get less time per game then Getzlaf, Staal, Lecavalier and Richards if the games get harder. Not a knock on Sid, just the strength of Canadians centers is incredible.

Well you hope so. The politics I've seen around this whiny face Crosby kid have been ridiculous though. I've never met his parents. Maybe Babs would rather lose than face the wrath of Sid's mommy.

I think Wings fans at The Joe for Game 5 said it best, "Crosby Sucks!!"

For me I think the worst thing about losing in the Finals is to have to see Crosby's face EVERYWHERE, more so than usual. The NHL may lose me nationally for a year until Pittsburgh loses The Cup. I can only take so much of Cindy, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Edit: TSN has a commercial creating awareness for TSN2. Cindy is seen 3 times in the 30 second clip. I have to change the channel every time it comes on. The 2009-10 season is months away, and I already can't stomach seeing him.

although I agree fluery doesnt belong on that list, by reading through the comments it seems like a lot of posters still have a sour tase in thier mouths

This list is bogus Martin Brodeur misses most of the season and is number 2. Give me a break!!
