The Olympics named their "All Star Team" and MVPs. And guess what! Both Gods are absent just like they were all tourney long!
Sidney "Jesus" Crosby and Alexander Ovech-Christ didn't make the the All-Olympic Team.
Who did? Why, 1 foreigner, 1 Major Junior alum, and FOUR former collegians.
TWO of them former Sioux and THREE of them former WCHA players.
SUCK IT DON CHERRY!
Ryan Miller got the MVP and Top Goaltender awards. Well, gee, thank you Team Canada for starting out with Brodeur or I think Luongo would have gotten this award.
Brian Rafalski got top D. Former UW player. Former Devil. Current Red Wing. Booyah.
Parise and Toews on the Forwards listing with Toews getting top forward. Suck it Crosby. That's not fair! Sid will always be tops in McGuire, Milbury, and Cherry's books. I'm sure there was some conspiracy as to why Crosby didn't get named to the list.
Shea Weber and Pavol Demitra got the other honors. HEH! Former Wild Demitra. HEH!
To be honest, Shea Weber was amazing defensively but I can't believe he got the award because usually these things favor the offensive dmen. Weber might've done ok in the offensive zone, but I thought his best work came playing defense.
Demitra... nice to see. The Slovaks should've won Bronze. Finland seemed ripe to choke after not showing up to the USA game.
Anyways, here's the list (from CTV Olympics):
Goaltender: Ryan MILLER (USA)
Defenceman: Brian RAFALSKI (USA)
Defenceman: Shea WEBER (CAN)
Forward: Pavol DEMITRA (SVK)
