Among the snubs for Team Canada ...

Dan Boyle, San Jose Sharks: The veteran blueliner might have been bumped for PK Subban, another mobile defender who can run the power play point.

Logan Couture, San Jose Sharks: The forward is out a month with hand surgery, and was left off the roster.

Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks: The Cup-winning goalie struggled this season, and lost out to Smith.

Claude Giroux, Philadelphia Flyers: He struggled mightily to start the season, caught fire, but couldn't reestablish himself after being a preseason lock.

Eric Staal, Carolina Hurricanes: A Vancouver 2010 selection, injuries slowed up this year.

Marty St. Louis, Tampa Bay Lightning: Despite playing for Yzerman's team, the veteran winger might have been passed over in favor of Kunitz.
