Confused why that's hilarious...

GOLDEN GOAL
That's why. Toews is awesome, I know that. But you're gonna give it to the #1 player on the planet. - CanadianBodmon
Most likely. But you can make a pretty good argument Toews makes the better captain.

Toews as captain wouldn't be hilarious.
I'd consider him over Sid.
Much better player last Olympics.
Couple Cups. Captain serious! - robin_steele264
You honestly think they are actually considering anyone but Crosby?
Not a chance

Kunitz making Team Canada is a joke.
He rides Sidney's coattails. Does anyone seriously think that any other potential Olympian would do worse than Kunitz riding shotgun with Crosby?
Look at St. Louis. The guy contends each year for scoring titles. Stamkos or not, he's just consistently great. Throw him on Crosby's wing and how many 100 point seasons would he have?
Vlasic was also a bizarre pick. Sharp was kind of a surprise, but justifiable.
Mike Smith was a flat out mistake. - Leeman4Gilmour
The St Louis thing is the one that just boggles the mind.... you can make arguments for most other omissions... but him? What is the reasoning? He's fast, veteran, amazing shot, great passer, clutch performer... Just won the scoring trophy... so what if he has grey hair...

I've given this some honest thought.
Rebounds
The defense is so damned poopty that they can't afford to have a rebound machine like reimer in net. If the D could learn to clear a puck once in awhile then I think reimer starts more.
Bernier has better rebound control, and with this defense, it's almost a necessity.
I don't think it's a statement about which goalie is better at all - Dozzer
only problem with that, at the 20-25 game mark when both guys were playing regular... Reimer with his bad rebound control had a .600 winning % and everyone's savior and puckeater had a .430 winning percentage. |

Sure you could... But I think it's such a given that there isn't any real point in debating it.
Needless to say, leadership won't be a problem on team canada |

Give it to the #1 player in the world who completely disappeared during the last Olympics until he scored a fluke goal over the guy who was probably the best forward of the tournament?

TSN panel just discussed it.
Yes, they are honestly considering all options.
I'd bet on Sid. But Toews would make just as much sense.

The thing that I hate, is Reimer has lost that affable, smile at everything attitude... he was lights out when he was that guy... God damn Carlyle... James needs to get some games in... I still feel he's the guy to take us into the playoffs... he's the one with the experience... albeit limited... - SofaKingBored
Without letting Reimer get some consistent, consecutive, regular starts, they're also torching his trade value.
He doesn't have the backup mentality. He's meant to start and he needs games. |

I think this is probably a factor. Also Bernier is a better puck handler, and god knows the Leafs need a goalie who can make an outlet pass, since most of their D can't make one and the forwards can't receive one.

Crosby was the only one who got the call to be on the 2014 Team Canada at the end of February, 2010.... he's the captain |
