Canadian Olympic Team Announced
The Canadian Olympic hockey team was announced today.
Unfortunately, Shane Doan’s name is not on that list and that is a damn shame.
Interesting choices to say the least. Brendan Morrow, who has 25 points and a plus-one makes the squad along with Eric Staal who has 26 points and a minus-five. Shane Doan has 26 points and a minus-one.
Dallas is in the ninth playoff spot eight points behind the Coyotes while Carolina suffers in the basement of its conference with 27 points.
But Doan doesn’t make the team? He has helped his hockey club get to the fourth spot of the conference, will do anything that the coaches ask of him, and he has a wealth of experience in international play.
If those numbers were the criteria (and yes, it is noted that Vinny Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis are not on the roster either), shouldn’t experience in international play count?
Call me a homer, but Mr. Yzerman and Mr. Lowe missed something here.
