Obviously I was mocking Campbell's stupid tweet.
I know and was just kidding.

Maybe the extend group of people you've mentioned got rings or maybe not. But at least they contributed in some way, no matter how small, to the winning. Stamkos literally did nothing to help Canada win the gold. They felt sorry for him so he got a ring.
Call me crazy but actually contributing to the winning of something should be the criteria for being awarded something like this. I mean it does suck he couldn't go but thats a story thats been told about tons of players/athletes in every sport for years. They missed out on winning something, like a medal at the Olympics, due to bad luck with an injury.
I wasn't aware this was in question.

John Scott 2 Games .... per Bobby Mac
Do they know how asinine that suspension sounds, he received two games for leaving the bench on a LEGAL line change to start a fight. That is how every fight starts, literally.
He did change and go right after Jackman (and admitted it) so technically they can suspend him for it ... If it wasnt John Scott or any other "goon" this suspension doesn't happen.. That's what makes this so stupid.

Right in the middle of "Hockey Fights Cancer" month too...
You have to think a lot of players in Stamkos' shoes wouldn't even accept the ring.
I have a feeling that Stamkos being at the evaluation camp might have had a bigger impact than the media relations guys did.
I see a vastly different set of criteria for a medal vs something like this that Hockey Canada hands out on their own.
It's the same as getting your name on the Cup vs getting a ring.
All sorts of people get rings and only a select few get a medal or their name on the Cup.
Thornton actually did this to Weber when we blew them out in 2012.He did change and go right after Jackman (and admitted it) so technically they can suspend him for it ... If it wasnt John Scott or any other "goon" this suspension doesn't happen.. That's what makes this so stupid.
@coreypronman: The Parise-Granlund-Pominville line is worth a ticket alone. May be seeing Granlund emerge as a legit 1C
kreider is a piece of garbage
Looks like the Oilers might be better than we thought this year.
Let's be rational.
The way he and Brodin made contact sucked. Kreider strong armed him, but that wasn't intent at all and I'm sure Kreider wasnt thinking to injure either. Plus, Brodin came right in on him.
Looks like the Oilers might be better than we thought this year. Well on their way to a 4th straight win. I think the worst teams this year are Buffalo/Canes/Jets.
If the Oilers are good then what will the false "buffalo's rebuild is like Edmonton and will fail" people say instead? Then that statement becomes doubly false.
