World Cup

Team Canada should go back to picking guys like Rob Zamuner just to make these tourneys more competitive.

Ever since they figured out they should just take all 1st liners they've just made a mockery of international competition.

It's pretty boring.

Put Bobby Clarke back in charge so other teams have a chance.

2006 was a weird team too with Berdummi who was coming off a suspension and was a shell of himself. Since then, we are pretty much unbeatable best on best

I'm pretty sure they brought Draper AND Kirk Maltby to that tournament. And in 1998, we brought guys like Zamuner, Corson and a finished Trevor Linden.

It seems like it takes an embarrassing crushing or two before the old boys and their stupidity finally get purged.

yep and Berdummi

Was a terrible roster
 
They also excluded Crosby for some bizarre reason even though he was in the midst of a 100 point season as a rookie and would have already been the best player on that roster after Thornton.

And they took Shane Doan too bizarrely.

Feeling pretty good about that bet with zeke.

Canada-Czech Republic 1.55 million viewers

Canada-USA 766,000 viewers

Team NA-Finland 1m viewers

In the USA

310,000 viewers on ESPN for the team NA- Finland game.

World cup more popular than olympics? Ha.
 
Rob Zamuner. Eh, I remember that. And this was Rob Zamuner on the big ice. LOL.
And Wayne Gretzky did not take a shot in the shootout. What an embarassement.

I remember the media arguing around the time they were pumping the tires of Zamuner, "you Can't Load Up on Top 10 Scorers". Well yes you can. You win with skill.
