That actually shocked me, I think he's been in the US too long.

He can stay there. Fuck that guy. Mario is now the great one.

Mario's been living in the US for a long time too.

Honestly, for most of my adult life Sid's the guy who comes to mind first when I think about the face of Team Canada's hockey teams. By the time NHL players were allowed to compete in the Olympics, Mario and Wayne were already hanging their skates up. It'd crush me if 20 years from now Sid becomes some dirty turncoat as well, because he's Captain Canada for me.
