Berard is banned for two years. Who replaces him?

...

Berard didn't make the olympic roster.

 

[DJA]

Berard wasn't selected for the Olympic team.

 

[AXN]

Why did he take the test? I thought it was linked to the Olympics?

 

[futurcorerock]

everyone at camp USA had to take it.

 

[DJA]

It was required of players who were selected to the huge preliminary roster that all the countries released. Berard wasn't included on the final 23-man roster.

Do people actually read articles anymore, or just the sensational headlines?

 

[X0ssbar]

I think I'm gonna head "out for lunch" and join AXN.

I wonder if Berard was left off the Olympic team because he wasn't good enough, or was it because the USOC had the steroid results before the team was named. We will probably never know.

Indeed. The last thing the Pens needed was a talented defenseman.

the article says he knew in december.

 

[Mr Kanadensisk]

the article says he knew in december.

And the US Olympic team was named on Dec. 19th. So did the test results come in before or after the 19th???

It is interesting to see if USA Hockey were considering him and were detered by the test or if he just was not in their plans.

I was referring to the fact that these boards would be in flames if Berard went down as a Penguin.
