Canadian Starting Goalie for 2014 Olympics

[WingsFan95]

Luongo will be on the team.

Though Roy wasn't on the 02 team so who knows....

I'd bet on Price or Fleury.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Luongo. You may hate him but he's a far better goalie than anyone else.

 

[Ari91]

A lot can happen in 3 years. You can have goalies who breakout and those who decline. If the Olympics were to start tomorrow, I'd say Price would be the goalie to beat for the starter position.

 

[TheViperOne]

Reimer,

 

[Backlund]

Watch the same thing happen to Luongo as Brodeur. Price will first to replace him.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Ward
MAF
Price

 

[Rink Rage]

I would love to see Canada go with Luongo.

 

[King Woodballs]

I would love to see Canada go with Luongo.

so would everyone not rooting for canada

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,

If you watched the last olympics, we sure didn't win because of Luongo. he was adequate and that's about it.
I think he always seems to have good stats when it doesn't mean anything.

you can keep him.

Luongo. You may hate him but he's a far better goalie than anyone else.

cough Cough ~bull***~ cough cough

 

[DL44]

I'll go a little different...

First will be Luongo.. the defacto veteran.
My surprise pick would be a highly performing Crawford.
and then one of MAF/Price/Ward...

 

[Canucks LB]

All luongo has done is win gold after gold for canada. People not having him on the team are delusional.

Ya no ****, some people are hilarious. Thank god HF boards is not choosing the team.

 

[Tuggy]

Too hard to say right now, lots can happen between now and then.

 

[DayNah]

Anyone but Luongo.

All luongo has done is win gold after gold for canada. People not having him on the team are delusional.

The rest of the team won gold. The next Canadian team will not be as good as the last couple which means we need a great goaltender. We've seen how Lou held up when the team in front of him fell asleep in the SCF. No thx.

 

[rye&ginger]

Canada would have won gold with Broduer or MAF.


haha.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Price or Ward.
Luongo rounds out the trio.

 

[sarahjane14]

Luongo will be included if for no other reason because he's a veteran goalie, someone who's been in the toughest games for Canada and won. Doesn't hurt he's a damn good goalie. We all know that his lows are low, but when he's good, he's freaking awesome.

Price, Fleury or Ward fill in the two other spots.

 

[Garfinkel1]

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.

I might be nit-picking but MAF "One of the best goalies in the league?"

I think that's a gross exaggeration.

 

[Bjorn Le]

Price and Ward unless they fall apart by then are virtual locks IMO.

One of Luongo, Fluery, Bernier, Mason will be the other one. Theres surprises but I doubt anyone else will be good enough by then. Mason could easily get his career back if he gets his work ethic back and he has a great chance if he does, if Bernier wrangles the starters job he's got a good chance. Then theres Fluery and Luongo who will need to keep up good work for the next 3 years IMO. Not sure if they can do it.

 

[End of Line]

Fleury, Price, or Ward.

 

[Quinn Coin]

Price.

 

[icerocket]

Ya no ****, some people are hilarious. Thank god HF boards is not choosing the team.

Price is already better than Luongo.

Sorry but Luongo has no mental toughness.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Price or Ward.
Luongo rounds out the trio.

I think that--barring any massive changes over the next couple of years--this will be how it plays out.

Hockey Canada has some sense of loyalty to vets, so Luongo may begin the Olympics as the starter. But if he falters, expect one of Price or Ward to take his place just as Luongo did for Brodeur in 2010.
