Canadian Starting Goalie for 2014 Olympics

[JohnLennon]

I think by that time Price might be the best Canadian goalie. Luongo won it for Canada in Vancouver though, and Ward is an amazing goalie as well. Canada is very well off when it comes to goalies, obviously.

 

[NotAPuckBunny]

I wouldn't be surprised if Luongo starts because he got it done before.
But I think Ward or Price should start, and Luongo after.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Reimer

Price, Ward, Fleury

 

[Philly85*]

Price Ward ans Fleury. Who knows there will probably be a wildcard thrown in there too.

 

[The Waffler]

Ryan Miller or Zdeno Chara

 

[tututooter21]

Goalies get better the older they get so who knows,

Price, Ward, Fleury, Luongo, Bernier, Random goalie who breaks out

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Ryan Miller or Zdeno Chara

With Chara in net, who needs Miller?

 

[WPGFAN]

Luongo almost choked last time. Don't see him being the starter this time.

I agree. I would say anyone but Luongo at this point.

 

[oobga]

I'd say Fleury based on experience. Price would do a great job filling in if any question marks popped up in his game though. I think Canada would do just fine with either...heck they won gold with Ro8erto frickin 7uon5o in net

james reimer

 

[SidGenoMario]

MAF. He's going to have a few dynamite seasons before then, plus he'll be the most experienced of the candidates in terms of playoffs + Olympics.

 

[Sundance]

Crawford, Bernier and Reimer. :p

Luongo (if he hasn't been run out of Canada by then), Price and Ward/Fleury (whichever impresses most)

 

[Help]

Carey Price.

He's 23. Has time to develop. Was dynomite in the World Juniors. He can handle the pressure

 

[JSBach]

I want Price to lead us to Olympic glory. Luckily he has a really good chance.

 

[SMoneyMonkey]

I'd love it if it were Price, Ward and Bernier. And it's possible. Loungo being the third is more likely, though... Then again...

 

[Bleeker]

Starter : Price
Backup 1 : Ward
Backup 2 : Fleury, Bernier or Luongo

 

[Frank Drebin]

Crawford, Bernier and Reimer. :p

Luongo (if he hasn't been run out of Canada by then), Price and Ward/Fleury (whichever impresses most)

If Luongo is indeed the starter, I'm sure he will be given a very short leash, like Cujo in 02.

 

[Trollmark*]

Not fatso, that's for sure.

 

[hatterson]

Optimus Reim.


Seriously though, Price, Ward and Luongo in no particular order

 

[Mr Forever]

luongo will start, then fail and ward or price will take over.

That's how it always seems to happen. Joseph to Brodeur, to Luongo etc.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

I agree. I would say anyone but Luongo at this point.

Wow you people. Luongo has the best record and stats of any long-tenured Team Canada goalie ever; and yet you want to run him out of town.

Luongo Team Canada (senior):
23gp, 17-2-3-4, 1.94gaa,

Sounds good to me. Backups will be Price and Ward.

 

[KingJet*]

I'm gonna call Ward, Price, Fleury, Bernier or Reimer for the 2014 Olympics. Who knows but I'm just speculating, but I think it will be

Reimer
Ward
Price

 

[Charlie McAdaddy]

Price, unless someone who's not well known right now breaks out big by then.

 

[Kid Canesten]

Wow you people. Luongo has the best record and stats of any long-tenured Team Canada goalie ever; and yet you want to run him out of town.

Luongo Team Canada (senior):
23gp, 17-2-3-4, 1.94gaa,

stats are a big part, but it doesnt tell the whole story. while watching the gold medal game, you could see the difference between luongo and miller. luongo looked shaky while miller oozed with confidence. i felt worried everytime team USA went a rush.

during this season, and the mtl/bos series, carey price seemed to exude that confidence that miller had. if price keeps it up for the next 2 years, id like to see price start.

my order would be: price, maf (paid his dues as a 3rd string goalie for olympic team and one of the best goalies in the league) and ward.
