Exactly. This is why it matters what the DP writes. 
That's too bad. I didn't think he did anything wrong, I saw some of those scrimmages. Just hope Avs fans don't get discouraged on him, he's having a great season.

Yup, looks like once again I will be strongly cheering against Team Canada this year even as a Canadian.
If Butcher gets cut from team USA I'm just gonna boycott the whole tournament.

I was feeling really confident though. Why give him an A and everything.
It's unfortunate. I wasn't too confident early on but that changed with his play this season. Oh well.

Don't start with the Bigras is a crappy player meme. Please.
And I don't think he was ever THAT close to making the team last year. It was more perception and media than anything.

Chris Bigras clearly a bit stunned by development: "Not the outcome I was looking for, but can't dwell on it right now"
Mark Masters @markhmasters
Coach Groulx on Bigras decision: "Very difficult … it's devastating for him, we understand that"
Mark Masters @markhmasters
Groulx on Bigras: "I know he's going through some tough moments right now. It was not an easy announcement to make."
Feel bad for the kid, especially with the season he's having in the OHL.

Is there any other explanation? Clearly an even dumber pick than taking MacK first overall when we could've had...monahan I guess?...

I don't get why you let it work you up. It just makes me laugh. Granted having to read the english press make up stories about the German league in soccer has given me a lot of practice with laughing off incompetent reporting at a level that Chambers can't even aspire to. But still, coverage of the avs and avs prospects has been horrible for as long as I've been aware that the media covers them.

Well I wasnt gonna root for CAN anyway but now I hope they crash and burn all up in their home ice.,

I was hoping to share my disappoint with fellow Avs fans on Bigras being cut on what I believe was no fault of his own. Should have expected a Canadian hate fest though.

Well, I have no reason to root for CAN, and while I think they will win
its nice that this tourney has been so strong its not an automatic for them and hasnt been for a while now.

Forever Champions.
Regardless of playing for Team Canada at the WJC this season he's got a legitimate argument in the OHL's Max Kaminsky trophy for best defenceman.
And for Attack fans this isn't anything new, in 2011 Hishon, Garrett Wilson, and Jesse Blacker were all cuts (Hishon was the only shock), and it turned out pretty well for them when they humiliated Dave Cameron and the Majors in Game 7 in Mississauga.
Bigras will be just fine, and I'm glad he'll be sticking around with the Attack. Fewer games between now and January 10th means fewer chances for him to be hurt if the team decides to sell this year.
