Nothing wrong with that. I'm in the same boat. DM66 on the other hand believes Luongo will hurt rather than help Canada, and the evidence suggests otherwise.

You're right, we should be able to discuss, but most people at this time would be quite surprised if Luongo was the starter. There is a larger gap than say the starters on team USA.
By the end of the tourny, Subban will have made Bouwmeester a part of his legend... just like Tyler Myers.
Luongo already proved he can win Gold.
Canada has the best D-Men in the tournament. Canada has the best forwards by a large margin. We will likely have the number 1 seed and an easy path to the semis. Our goalie doesn't need to win us a game, he just can't lose it - like Luongo almost did in 2010.
I would prefer Price.

To me, Price is the lesser of the evils. Do I wish we had Quick, Miller, Lundqvist or one of the Finish goalies? You bet I do. Sadly, we don't.
As for Luongo...
Remember that Simpsons' episode when Marge's dad meets Homer and then we later hear him say, "Meeting that Simpson boy took years off my life" (and we never see his character again)? Well, Luongo's play in the 3rd period of the GMG took years off my life and I hope I never see him again.

I don't know, Taelin. He had one semi-tough save in OT, off Pavelski, and he almost blew it. Anyway, if he wins Gold I will never say another bad word about him again.
i don't get it...
I THINK he's saying that when Myers played with Subban, Myers was great. Now that he doesn't, he's average.
Subban will do the same for Bouwmeester.

I THINK so but don't quote me. Again, I was reading between the lines of what he wrote.
As a USA fan I'd much rather see Luongo than Price. Between the SC Finals and the last Olympics he's been shaky in every big game I've seen him in. He's been great in other games, just not the big ones.

Oh man, I remember that. It actually started from a terrible turnover by Scott Neidermayer.
Yup. My heart was in my stomach. Even now, when I re-watch it, it makes me a little sick. So close to disaster.
Hope price does well and runs through the entire tournament. First unit pp is kinda sketcky to me. Why not weber on the first unit throwing bombs on the point. Keith is a good passer.
Luongo's performance in the GMG reminds me of his showing in the 2004 World Cup against the Czechs.
In both games he let in 2 weak goals, was shaky throughout but made a big save in OT before we scored.
I don't want to go thru that a 3rd time.

if we wins WHO CARES
If I can avoid going thru that a 3rd time by playing Price, I would be very happy.
