The Canadian Press: Crosby looking forward to 2010 Olympics, wants to forget about past criticism: "He hadn't even played his first NHL game in Vancouver but Sidney Crosby was already thinking about coming back to help Team Canada win a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. 'It would be nice,' Crosby said Friday before the Pittsburgh Penguins practised at GM Place, where the Olympic gold medal game will be played. 'It's a dream for everyone, especially myself. 'Being Canadian you want to play for Team Canada. With the talent that Canada has, they always have a chance to win. It would be nice to be part of that.' Crosby was in his rookie season in 2005-06 and was left off the Canadian team that failed to win a medal at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin. He feels no bitterness about not being included on that team. 'I don't think it was too bad,' he said. 'It was my first year in the league. Going into that season I never would have thought I had the chance. 'Looking back, there wasn't a sense of disappointment. It was just the way it was. The day I didn't make the team I was pulling for them. I'm Canadian just like everyone else. I want my country to win.' The Penguins will play the Vancouver Canucks Saturday before a Hockey Night in Canada audience (10 p.m. ET). It will be Crosby's first game in Vancouver and he's become us"
