Team Canada makes questionable choice
Canada has announced its hockey team for the Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. Vancouver Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi is a member of Team Canada, but Pittsburgh Penguins rookie sensation Sidney Crosby is not.
I can understand the decision not to include Crosby, because the players on the Olympic roster are more experienced and proven. However, I have a problem with Bertuzzi being on the team.
He'll always be remembered for his vicious, blindside hit that broke a few bones in Steve Moore's neck. I believe in forgiveness, but Bertuzzi isn't the kind of person I'd want representing my country.
