from the Montreal Gazette,

Twenty-five proud young men. And one cowardly thug. Twenty-five selections for Team Canada for whom you can make a good case, even if Adam Foote, Rob Blake, Shane Doan and Ed Jovanovski would not be on our team. And one major embarrassment who belongs in prison, not in Turin.

from the Detroit Free Press (Thursday edition) via the Mercury News,

For Kris Draper, though, the news came an hour before the official announcement, at around 4:15 p.m., when general manager Steve Tambellini called to congratulate him for making the 23-man roster. It was a call that soothed much-rattled nerves and cast a new glow on a career that already includes three Stanley Cup championships, a Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward, and the 2004 World Cup. "Being selected has to be the highlight of my career," Draper said Wednesday evening.

continued from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,

They promised controversy and right there, in the heart of Todd Bertuzzi country, they delivered it too.
