It's only normal that Luongo gets the starting spot since he won in 2010. If he fails or looks shaky Price will replace him as Luongo replaced Brodeur last time.

Price goes on stretches of pretty bad hockey where he lets soft goals in. Thats why people dont trust him.
As for this thread.
Habs fans: Price
Everyone else: Not Price.
You habs fans might as well stop over flowing the thread pumping up Price's ego. As you can see, no one is buying it.
So what I'm basically seeing is a bunch of outraged Montreal fans trying to convince everyone Price should be the starter...is that correct?
I don't get the outrage. It's common sport philosophy to use the more experienced player when all else is equal. Luongo is just as good as Price. Price having better stats after two months on a much better defensive team isn't going to erase Luongos 10+ year career. I don't think people realize just how bad Vancover's team has been compared to years past. Price will have steal the job from Luongo in the preliminary rounds IMO.
Price should be and will be the #1 goalie in Sotchi. How is that even a question?
Price 12-8-2 2.00 GA .937 Sv% 44 GA on 694 shots
Lu 11-8-3 2.41 GA .911 Sv% 56 GA on 630 Shots
enough said really....
Harding 14-4-6, 1.45 GA, .939 SV%, 30 GA on 490 shots.

Add Ben Scrivens and Steve Mason to the mix tooHarding 14-4-6, 1.45 GA, .939 SV%, 30 GA on 490 shots.

Solid argument.
How many games has Loooouuuuuuuu stolen this year?

Luongo will start, it is obvious to anyone but some Habs fans in here. It's ok guys, we all think our players are the best. However, 20 decent games by Price do not erase Luongo's body of work.
If he falters (which he might), then it's Price's job to steal.

Yeah Luongo's .911 save percentage this year and BEASTLY .907 save percentage last year sure are an impressive body of work. Stellar!
What body of work.
Losing his job... nobody wanting him, haven't been impressed since florida, I would much rather have Scrivens, Harding, Price and Crawford fight for it. Say what you want but if Vancouver had a different goalie to me they would have won that cup. Louuuuu did not help

Anytime someone wants to argue with a habs player about this, just quote this post.Check out his career stats and international play. That is a body of work. 20 games this season doesn't change anything.
PS> If Vancouver had a different goalie, theywould not have made it to game 7, much less win the cup. Luongo had 3 shutouts in the finals. In other words, you don't know what you are talking about and just regurgitate that same garbage people spew on these boards.
Wow...Do you even know what the phrase "body of work" means? Maybe look it up Maybe even look at Price's stats for last year if you think they are so relevant and come back and eat some crow. I doubt you will though.
Great job talking about last years save %
Might wanna look at the other guys too
yay Price has better stats in 22 games so far!
Great argument
Price is a certified choker. Can't play in big games. Pre tty sure Hockey Canada knew he wouldn't start for them regardless of the season.
Luongo starts cause there's nothing better.
I followed Luongo for his entire career from when he was playing with the Foreurs in the Q up until now. He WAS a stellar goaltender, but he isn't playing at the same level that he was in Florida and we've seen quite the decline in performance since the last Olympics.
As far as I'm concerned the only thing he has on Price is the 2010 Olympics. When it comes to skill and performance, it's all Price, after a third of the season he is showing no sign of slowing down and it looks like this will be a career year for him so why the hell wouldn't TC put their hopes on him?
Anyway, I know it's an old boys club and I know Luongo is probably going to get his chance even if there are quite a few keepers that are playing WAY better than he is. I just hope that Luongo's Sotchi experience stops at one game if even that.

Hmm.. to limit enraged Habs fans, I will add on to this. Both are certified chokers but Luongo would lead the team to the final game.
