agree that choosing Bourque over others was a very strange choice though, but I am not sure why so many Canadians seem convinced that the player who would have taken the shot instead of Bourque would have scored. How many other Canadians scored in that shootout, hm?
I agree that it's ridiculous that some blame the loss on that selection alone, but I think most fans don't honestly feel that way. It's not so much that people expect / assume Gretzky would definitely have scored, just that it's somewhat absurd not to even give the man that chance.
