would Crosby still be playing for the Pens had they eliminated Ottawa?
Of course he would, but he says NO to Canada LOL. Doesnt matter you aren't going to beat anyone anyways.

Crosby gets PAID to work for the Pens. Playing for your country is a duty and solely for honour. He needs to get the foot looked after now that his JOB is done for the season.
Who really cares? If you want a test of hockey let's do it right. The World Championships are a distraction while the Cup playoffs are on, nothing more. World Cup of Hockey. The Olympics. Those are better tests since all teams can ice their best players.
I'm not sure what your point is, could be you don't really have one other than at the top of your head.

Yeah this is just the world championships, it does not hold a candle to the Stanley Cup playoffs. He's putting the NHL ahead of a third-tier international tournament.
If it was the Olympics or the World Cup of Hockey, then I might question that move. But it's not, so I won't.

Crosby has a broken foot.
lol you think Team Canada won't win? That's a pretty far fetched wish isn't it? You want to talk about teams in trouble, look no farther than Team USA. Who do you guys have?
Miller and Dipietro in net... solid goalies for sure, but nothing compared to Brodeur and Luongo the greats.
Who else.. Craig Conroy (if this guy was CAnadian and got considered for our national team, they'd laugh him out of the building).. Tony Amonte (if Amonte is on your team you got some serious problems), Chris Chelios who is like 50........ who else?
I would say good luck, but after reading your blog, I'm just gonna say when we do win the tournament it's going to be sweet to brag. I don't understand what is so difficult about this. Canada made the game.. Canada perfected the game... CAnada is the game. To be against Canada is to be against hockey itself. The majority of the NHL is CAnadian, the best players in the world are and always will be Canadian. You don't stand a shot in hell against us.

The Stanley Cup will always be more important than the championships. Doesn't matter what team you play for or what country you are from. If you can play at all in the playoffs, you play. But it is not worth further injury for the championships if you are already hurt. Too much money at stake.

First, you want a lesson contained in the origins of the game of hockey. hockey replaced into first performed on the slender creeks and rivers of the wasteland of British North u . s . a .. It replaced into adapted from a pastime stated as Bandy that replaced into performed on the frozen football fields of jap Europe. those eu immigrants were no longer Canadian, Canada did not exist as a rustic yet. contained in the time on condition that, hockey has change right into a Canadian interest. component of the cloth of our very being and a source of both large nationwide delight (after we win gold) and heartache (after we do not win gold). Hockey would nicely be "Canada's pastime" as you position it (yet understand that our nationwide sport is Lacrosse), yet we infrequently have unique rights to it. I recommend you visit eu countries like Finland the position they're only about as fanatical about hockey as we Canadians are. formerly you bash hockey contained in the u . s . a . bypass to a minor league or intense college pastime in a hockey hotbed like Minnesota (definite i recognize there are others, I in basic terms picked that one as an celebration). What embarrasses me is to ascertain one in each of my fellow Canadians (definite I recommend you) combining the form of vanity you've shown the following with finished lack of expertise of the origins of the game and that's boom no longer in straightforward words in Canada, yet in the course of the international. though I guess you're a Maple Leafs fan and imagine that Toronto is the middle of the hockey universe. i have were given information for you, Montréal is the middle of the hockey universe. And no i'm no longer a Habs fan, I in basic terms recognize it for what it truly is.

You're a moron hahaha. He played for Canada at the world championships last year, when he wasn't injured and a couple times for the juniors. Also, when he says the word "home" he never refers to the states...he's referring to Nova Scotia, CANADA. It's too bad that Modano is the best player the states can produce...because in comparison to our hockey players...he's the beaver sh*t we step in.

Of course he would be playing for the Penguins. This is the Stanley Cup you are playing for. Not some weird championship.
