Of course they booed him. They're crazed Frenchmen.

Per Dregger twitter: Gonchar, Malkin added to Russia. Swedes add Backlund. Mason Raymond added to Canada.

Sid's agent said Sid turned down Canada. Gonchar can do whatever he wants, he's gone anyways. Surprised about Malkin playing but I think there's only a few games left anyway. I'm sure the Russians want to win this thing after their shitty showing in the Olympics. Canada can give 2 shits about the WC after winning gold in the olympics so that probably had more to do with Sid's decision than the booing or the lighting his picture on fire and dancing on it.
