RUPERTKBD Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I can see the cameraman now: "Okay, half of you guys fold your arms and the other half put your hands in your pockets!" "No don't worry about it. The lighting is going to suck, so no-one will be able to see much anyway".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible photos, but at least we can see the authentic jerseys don't have the tiny 12 maples leaf in the bottom. They are inside on the authentics. http://www.icejerseys.com/products/Canada-12803/Jerseys-12744/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 So if Stamkos can't suit up, who will replace him? Sounds like it would be between St. Louis or Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be okay with Giroux, Staal or Neal, I had the first 2 on my original list, wasn't sure about St. Louis. Neal and Giroux could replace some of Stamkos' goalscoring.

wai_lai416 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 lol i'm surprise at the amount of ppl/analyst that thinks Price is going to be the goalie Canada leans on when all said and done.. it's like they are expecting Luongo to choke when it counts.. based on recent years Price is just as prone to meltdowns as Luongo is and based on this year's play alone.. Luongo is the far more consistent goalie and also have the better stats.. so based on what are these ppl going off off to say and think with conviction Price will be the goalie when everything is settle? if recent play is factored in.. it looks more and more like Luongo will get the bulk of the game unless he's bad in the round robins.. Price just come off of a whole bunch of terrible games and then had a shutout against CAROLINA and all of a sudden he's back and playing with confidents..

RUPERTKBD Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I'd be okay with Giroux, Staal or Neal, I had the first 2 on my original list, wasn't sure about St. Louis. Neal and Giroux could replace some of Stamkos' goalscoring. When the team was first announced, I thought that Giroux was the most obvious snub. I really wanted Marty to make the team, based on the play he's put forth the past couple of years, the fact that he was passed over in 2010 and the fact that he'll never get another opportunity. I think there's enough size on the team to allow for a spot for him... I'm not as big on Staal and/or Neal. They seem to me to be just more of what the team already has in Marleau, Carter and Kunitz. I'd prefer a faster, more dynamic player on the international sized ice. lol i'm surprise at the amount of ppl/analyst that thinks Price is going to be the goalie Canada leans on when all said and done.. it's like they are expecting Luongo to choke when it counts.. based on recent years Price is just as prone to meltdowns as Luongo is and based on this year's play alone..

Price just come off of a whole bunch of terrible games and then had a shutout against CAROLINA and all of a sudden he's back and playing with confidents.. I guess it's just a case of analysts doing what they get paid to do: Analyze and over-analyze. IMO, both Lou and Price are going to get starts against Austria and Norway. The one who in the opinions of the coaching staff played the best, will get the start against the Finns. I believe the performance of whichever goaltender plays in that game will decide the starter in the medal round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horny Manatee Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Stamkos has got to be the one of the most selfish Olympians ever. Dude, there are a handful of guys who can take his spot and do exactly what he's capable of. But nope, Lil Steven doesn't wanna miss out. Come on. The team will be fine without you. Take one for the team you selfish brat. Sit out. You're not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
