What a JOKE, welcome to the other CONFERENCE.

What a JOKE, welcome to the other CONFERENCE.

I believe the players were picked based on their skill and team Canada's needs and not which conference they play for. We could also complain that only 2 players play for Canadian teams as well (Iginla & Luongo). I don't know about you, but I'm more concerned about a winning team rather than having a team picked while balancing out where the players play.

Like I said in the other thread.... I'm very happy with this roster. While I might have changed the 7th defenseman, and 12th and 13th forwards..... this is pretty much the group I wanted to see picked.

I was a little surprised that Bergeron was on the team...playing on the first line with Crosby. But I guess Bergeron and Crosby worked well together last time.
