So.. the Olympics start tonight. That’s good news and bad news. The bad news is no NHL hockey for the next two weeks. The good news is, we get to see quite a few Penguins and former Penguins playing for their country.
Marc Andre Fluery is playing for team Canada, along with Sidney Crosby. Jordan Staal and his brother Eric (of the Carolina Hurricanes) tried out, but didn’t quite make it.
Team Russia has Evgeni Malkin and Sergei Gonchar. They also sadly have……..Ovechkin. Blah!
Brooks Orpik is playing for good old Team USA. Two former Penguins, Ryan Whitney and Ryan Malone, are also playing.
With Penguins on three different teams, it can be hard to choose who to root for. Normally, I would say Team Russia, because Malkin’s is pretty much my favorite, but Russia has Ovechkin. I have a hard time rooting for a team that has Ovechkin. So, I say….
Go Team Canada!
