Alex Burrows 14 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I put a wink!!! Ooooh I was sure Anderson was Canadian lol... my bad. I would chose lui over price all dday every day! As long as MAF isn't one of Canada's goalies ill be happy. He's awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 These stats allow me to make a better comparison. It'd be like saying Schneider should start instead of Quick for the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Canada: Luongo/Crawford/Price (one of those three will get it) USA: Quick Sweden: Lundqvist Russia: Bobrovsky Finland: Rinne Switzerland: Hiller Czech Republic: Vokoun Slovakia: Halak Slovenia: Luka Gracnar (looked up Slovenian goalies and he popped up. Here's the link: http://www.iihf.com/nc/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/recap/7613.html) Norway: Pal Grotnes Austria: ????

Alchemy Time Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'm not saying he should start over Rinne, although I personally think be might. I'm saying he has been good well before this year. It's not his fault TT went all Hasek in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Fair enough. My only problem is that he was mainly a back-up goalie before this point, and I wouldn't risk him in net based on the fact that he's never really played a 60-70 game season.

Alchemy Time Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Don't forget about Niemi either. If he plays like he did last year he could very well get the start. It's a nice problem they have. One that Canada definitely doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Burrows 14 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 MAF is never going to be anywhere near as good as Lui. He won it playing infront of generational talents. He's nothing but an average goalie at best. If they had lui instead of MAF they would have at least two cups by now. Most likely 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel_Bure 10 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sweden: Henrik Lundqvist Finland: Pekka Rinne Russia: Sergei Bobrovsky USA: Jonathan Quick Canada: Carey Price Czech: Ondrej Pavelec Swiss: Jonas Hiller Slovakia: Jaroslav Halak Slovenia: Andrej Hocevar (Thanks, Wikipedia) Norway: Lars Volden Austria: Bernd Bruckler Latvia: Edgars Masalskis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well fleury didn't choke in the stanley cup final like a certain somebody and actually played pretty good, yes he had a little bit of help from these crosby and malkin fellas but he still played good, you have to remember their defense wasn't that great. And I disagree, if they had lu they may not even have one cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JE14 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Luongo vs Schneider in final? It is a possibility if both tenders play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kane Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Bobby Lu will have a beast season and win that spot. I think Price is really his only competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keslerific Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Lu or Crawford for Canada! I think Carey Price is overrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Lol... October following the cup lloss. Not a single person voted lui as the starter. Funny how things change. Hopefully he starts. Or im 100% backing Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS06 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Right now I would say Tukka Rask is the goalie for Finland. Rinne will have to have a pretty great October-December, and there will have to be consideral drop-off from Rask for him to lose the spot. I heard Hitchcock in an interview a few months back saying it was ridiculous to think Lu wouldn't at least get a look for the team after he won gold. Even if he doesn't start (which, honestly, I think he will but he will have to start like he did this year, rather than the past few to secure it) he'll be on the team.
