BamBam 01-20-2006, 12:53 PM apparently, the great white north peoples are in angst.
again.
this time over their oly flag bearer for the opening ceremonies.
or lack of one.
why not mr. Bertuzzi to carry the red & white glory?
consider the benefits:
italian cultural connection: to the tradition-hungry torinoites
media cultural connection: to the photo-famished paparazzi
canadian cultural connection: to the identity-starved cana-nationalists
hockey cultural connection: to the old-time hockey traditionalists

Bergeron47 01-20-2006, 12:56 PM pretty sure most people won't want a guy who broke another guys neck to represent their country..

he didnt break his neck but obviously the point is valid
ogorr 01-20-2006, 12:59 PM there are hundreds of people more deserving than bertuzzi to carry the red and white. Frankly I would be embarrassed if he was chosen.
arrbez 01-20-2006, 01:16 PM why not Gretzky? he's part of the Olympic program
littleD 01-20-2006, 01:17 PM I hope no one from the men's hockey team is the flag bearer.
Especially not Thugtuzzi.
therealdeal 01-20-2006, 01:27 PM The NHL will still be in action during the ceremonies, thats why Burnaby joe isn't carrying it.
Either way this is a dumb idea.
banana phone 01-20-2006, 01:33 PM I hope no one from the men's hockey team is the flag bearer.

That would be very nice to see. :handclap:
incawg 01-20-2006, 01:39 PM lol, that would be great.
SChan* 01-20-2006, 01:41 PM no hockey player is going to carry the flag. The NHL is still going when the cermony opens.
Schenn02 01-20-2006, 01:42 PM You're kidding me, right? That would be a DISGRACE.
Beatnik 01-20-2006, 01:44 PM If it's a hockey players it will be Sakic IMO.

you forgot : Attempted murder

Exactly. This is a non-issue.
futurcorerock 01-20-2006, 02:04 PM you forgot : Attempted murder
Attempted Murder?
Do you even watch hockey?
CTBruins87 01-20-2006, 02:05 PM Another reason why I ceased supporting thew Canadian NT.....that country continues to surprise me.
Alan Jackson 01-20-2006, 02:05 PM I don't think there has ever been a more overblown event in the history of organized sport than the Bertuzzi incident.
He punched the guy in the back of the head. Yes, it was cheap and ugly, but no worse than a hundred other incidents.
People need to get over this.
I know this is thumping a deceased pony, but I really can't believe people think Bertuzzi is some sort of criminal.

:rolleyes: give me a break.
