I was watching Off the Record today (so of course I was already mildly enraged).
And they were chatting about the Canadian Olympic team. They were throwing blueliners around and Brian Campbell's name came up.
Adam Proteau (a Hockey News columnist) said that by this time next year Brian Campbell will be old and he wants to see younger, faster players on defence.
Brian Campbell is 29 years old. He will be 30 at the Olympics. Get the man a wheelchair and find him an old folks home, quick!
And can somebody also find me a faster defenseman? Last time I checked Campbell is one of the best skaters in the league. I don't understand how he is being overlooked for the Olympic team.
Old and slow are not things I think about when I think Brian Campbell.

Too late.

Mathieu Schneider picked up by the Canadiens. Maybe now they'll un-suck. Or not.
