Why does it matter what names are on the back? It's the world championships, when the only name that matters is on the FRONT.
If some 3rd line scrub from the Swiss league dresses up for team Finland, he has become just as important as Teemu Selanne.
The WC is about development and national pride. It doesn't matter who is on the ice, as long as they are playing for their country and the benefit of themselves and/or the national program. (development)
The WC is not an all-star festival so I really don't get the obsession with people wanting to see the best players.
Good post
