While I agree that Todd Bertuzzi has had some amazing seasons with the Canucks (filled with numerous highlight reel 'ripples of the twine') I have to argue that he deserves a spot on the 2006 Canadian Mens' Olympic roster. In a season that is already about two thirds complete, Bertuzzi has shown only flashes of the brilliance that brought him accolades from Vancouver fans and probably landed him his spot on the Olympic roster. His point production has been inconsistent and pales in comparison to the numbers he was putting up the previous two seasons. He also displays a laziness and lack of drive that, hopefully, will not be tolerated at the Olympic level of play. I guess my main concern is that Bertuzzi won't be able to keep up with the speed of the game that is played every four years at a caliber so high that it makes the NHL look like molasses running down a wall. Despite my reservations, when the Olympics roll around this month in Torino and Todd Bertuzzi steps on the ice to represent Canada, I will be cheering for him as hard as for any other player on our impressive 'dream team'.

P.S. Judging from the boos that follow every contact of Bertuzzi's stick with the puck, I would guess that the unfortunate events that transpired in the 2003-2004 season still linger in the minds of all hockey fans aside from those in Vancouver. So sad.
