There are other Canadian players like Iginla, Nash, Getzlaf(sorry Regina), Niedermayer, etc, etc whose team did not make the playoffs and they stayed home. Mike Green didn't go over once Washington was eliminated. Why is Sid getting the heat here when others should also?<br /><br />ShannonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-8945335225025997462010-05-20T10:19:50.898-06:002010-05-20T10:19:50.898-06:00Regarding Crosby and the Worlds guess what? No pl...Regarding Crosby and the Worlds guess what? No player is required to go to that as they are not getting paid. His first allegiance is to Pittsburgh, and getting ready for their next season. Ray Bourque used to do the same thing. He played in the Canada Cups,and after that said he was done with it. Patrick Roy was the same way. Ryan Smythe goes because he played on teams that miss the playoffs every year or go out in the first round. It's a chance for him to get a vacation, and compete a little longer.<br /><br />You are correct on your statements about Andy Fantuz and Arrested Development. I watched Arrested Development in reruns, and once you watch you can't stop. It is the best written comedy ever. I think it was way ahead of it's time. <br /><br />The guy who didn't call the police I can only imagine one reason. I think people in those apartment complexes in the core neighbourhoods like that have the tendency to mind their own business as the order of the day. It is transient renters, and on a month to month basis you really don't get a sense of community like you would be if you owned a home, and were living on a block. I just think people put their heads in the sand, and don't want to get involved. I agree though an annonymous phone call to the police could maybe have avoided this whole thing or curbed it significantly.<br /><br />When this story broke on the weekend "Seven" with Brad Pitt was on TV. There is a scene where they discover this exact same scenario. The Doctor tells them, "he's been through the worst, and he still has hell to look forward to". Very disturbing to say the least.<br /><br />ObamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-7331894018892329272010-05-20T06:09:12.796-06:002010-05-20T06:09:12.796-06:00Of all those who played in the Olympics, only Perr...Of all those who played in the Olympics, only Perry is there. If people are on Crosby's case, where are the guys who didn't make the playoffs (Iggy, Nash, etc), or those whose teams were out in the first round (Brodeur, etc) ? We knew the "Snubbed" weren't going to go (Phaneuf, LeCavalier, St. Louis, Bouwmeester, Green,etc), so we have who we have. Of the snubbed the only one who did go was Ryan Smyth, the only classy one.<br /><br />Nice to hear you on radio again, Mitchell!!Mike from Vita, MBnoreply@blogger.com
