Citing exhaustion after playing 82 NHL games of 25:41 per game, plus captaining his team at the Olympics, Mark Streit will sit out this spring's World Championship. Just thought I'd front-page that info (the above link is in German) in case you missed the tip from LH reader Kaonashi in this FanShot. Outside of 2008 playoff duty with the Habs, Streit has represented his country at every WC since 1998, so I think he gets a pass.
