Scheife is a good player, but not a fan. Bedard has much more upside, but yeah, Scheife would be a good option for Team Canada too if Crosby is out.
I will say this though… whether Sid plays or not… if Team Canada wins the gold tomorrow, Crosby should at least be one of the flag bearers at the closing ceremony. I know the NHLers have traditionally passed on the honour to give Canadian athletes from other sports some much deserved exposure… but if Team Canada beats Team USA tomorrow… it would mean a lot to see Sid carry the flag in the closing ceremonies, in what will almost certainly be his final Olympics.

Plus, Canada wants to win and needs players coming from teams and organizations with a culture of winning; not mediocrity.
