Re-evaluating Dion

[MindzEye]

so should we discuss all players that were considered?

Your choice of words.

If your question is...why hasn't Dion made a team Canada?

Because Canada is gifted on the back end with a constant stream of franchise calibre defenders, and the team Canada brain trust seems to have fallen in love with the idea of role players (like Vlasic, for example) for the depth roles on team Canada's. They've said it themselves that they don't just choose and all star team. Additionally, Dion gets overlooked because he plays for a club that gets tons of visibility and has had little success in recent years.

so you are willing to consider all kind of theories but not one which starts with "coze he is not simply good enough"?
why you hate Leafs so much?

Phaneuf was fine tonight. We've seen good Phaneuf and bad Phaneuf this season. He's played better since that player only meeting, thats for certain.

I know the analytics say Franson is a good partner or Phaneuf, but i'm not so convinced.
