Big Phil said:Yeah to me he'll be teh Joe Thornton of this years Olympics. A guy who is piling up points but doesnt get picked. Its not his fault, nor is it Gretzky's. 2/3 of the team is set in stone. There's no way he bumps off Lemieux, Sakic, Thornton, Richards, Lecavalier, Iginla, Heatley, Gagne, St. Louis. That's nine right there. So there are four spots up for grabs. This is who fights for them. Bertuzzi, Smyth, Spezza, Crosby, Doan, Draper, Peca, Nash. It'll be tough on him. I love his skating so that might help him but give it another month and we'll have a better idea.
