DIBdaQUIB Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 To put it simply, Price in elimination games scares me. Disappointed . I thought LU looked more calm and in control in his game. Price was not seeing the puck well and seemed tight. His playoffs last year makes me worried that he struggles with the pressure games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Per LeBrun tweet: Bergeron/Crosby/Benn Marleau/Toews/Carter Duchene/Geztlaf/Perry Kunitz/Tavares/Nash Sharp I like the new top line. See if they do try it. Benn has been one of the best forward, Bergeron great passer, clutch player, face off man if crosby gets thrown out, former line mate w crosby in jrs.

shiznak Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Who gives a flying crap who starts. Both goalies are capable of stealing games for their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 US starting Miller, Russ starting Varlamov. I think most teams want everyone to play a bit, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Team Canada Men @HC_Men 13m Canada lineup changes for CAN-FIN. Price to start, backed up by Luongo. Hamhuis and Sharp in for Subban and St-Louis No comment...don't know what else Lu can do to prove himself. And St, Louis out while Kunitz stays? wow Lets see how Price does, he is the guy now I still think it's a joke that Kunitz is even on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm just absolutely flabbergasted at the whole change. For this tournament, Subban > Hamhuis, St. Louis > Kunitz, Luongo > Price. Since when is benching the better players the key to success in the Olympics? I don't know, maybe Babcock is just doing a last minute experiment, and is still going to roll with Luongo, but he just wants to see if Price would be able to play against tougher opponents first.

I can understand benching Subban. He's better than Hamhuis, but Hamhuis is the safer bet and they can afford to do it too, considering all the fire power they already have on defence . I have no idea why Kunitz is playing though. He just doesn't look like he belongs out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Suck my babcock. What the hell. I hope Price gets yanked. Even if it means Canada losing. Me too actually. Nothing wrong with losing in prelims anyway. Yanked and/or injured and I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bookie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't see the goalie situation as such a big deal. Luongo proved himself, Price is still a bit of a question mark. This is going to be a test of his ability under pressure. But I am bothered by the Kunitz over St Louis decision. The goaltending at this point can be treated as a test, but the forward lines should be focusing on solidifying chemsitry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Me too actually. Nothing wrong with losing in prelims anyway. Yanked and/or injured and I'm happy. C'mon, seriously? I'm not exactly happy that Luongo isn't starting either, but why would you wish injury on Price when he hasn't done anything wrong? Some of you need to get over yourselves.

AngNMGN99 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Price schmice! Wtf is this?!?! Hoping for gold but a 5-4 win against Finland with that babyface Price allowing a few softies would be damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortorellatheboss Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Man, that's stupid. Especially since Luongo just came off a shutout...unless they're planning on using Lu in the quarter-finals? Maybe they'll really just rotate it every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooner91 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I have a feeling as long as Canada wins, Price will be starting then rest of the tournament. Hope Lu get's the nod though. 6-5 Canada win with Price letting in softies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tortorellatheboss Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I hope Price chokes! It's like the only time I get to see Luongo in action because of the time difference...and he's my favorite player...I was so looking forward to sitting down with a beer and watching my man Luu shut out the Finns...come on, Babcock, quit being selfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUCKS4CUP 28 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 C'mon, seriously? I'm not exactly happy that Luongo isn't starting either, but why would you wish injury on Price when he hasn't done anything wrong? Some of you need to get over yourselves. Price is incredibly overrated and always has been. He chased the better goalie in Halak out of Montreal, and then goes on to bitch about the Canadiens fans everytime he has a bad game. He hasn't done a lick of anything in the NHL level, let alone prove himself to be an Olympic starting goalie. Luongo may have a few choke jobs in the playoffs, but I don't recall seeing Price have too many GREAT playoff runs, certainly not like Luongo has had or even Halak. Luongo won the gold in 2010, got the shutty against Austria, and they roll with a kid who is known to crack under pressure, play sloppy a lot of the time, and is feeding off a week Eastern conference and Atlantic division.
