probably what you and I cannot possibly do, playing for our country in the Olympic games.

[Lunatic]

Although i find it refreshing that he is a stand up goalie in a league of butterfly goalies who play 95% of the game on their knees,and he is usually so good with the puck he is like a 3rd defenceman,i'd be lying if i said i wasnt nervous every time a puck was shot in his direction.

 

I'm pretty sure LOU will be getting the next starts unless he plays soft.

maybe it was miller's astounding performance that made broduer's look so poor, but there wasn't alot of understanding folks in the group i watched with. what was with his stick between his legs in the fourth goal? never seen that before.

and by the way its our right as canadians and as sports fans to carp and moan about our athletes. that is what the post is about is it not?

[fisherman7]

To be fair, he didnt' have a lot of support either!

are you kidding ???? the puck was in the american zone 80 % of the game ....what more support does he need??? maybe a chair to sit on while he drinks a Miller while watching a Miller?

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

the US was outshot by 45-22 or something like that...if that isn't support i don't know what is.

Did you even watch the game?

[Fang]

I hope they turn it around or it's gonna be brutal in the media. All I know is my Team Canada had Stamkos, St Louis and starting in goal would have been Luongo

Hats off to the USA for getting in front of the net and frustrating Brodeur to the point of making mistakes. Sure Canada was all over the Americans but not rushing the net, Millar had clear view of 95% of the shots making his job alot easier. The only way to beat a hot goalie is to get in his face, hats off to the American defence for keeping the Canadian forwards away from the front of the net. Canada for one reason or another is doing a terrible job of controling the front of the net, the goalies in this tournament are the best of best if they can see the puck coming there going to stop it.

I totally agree, and Green and phanuf may have been a smart pick also, I still do not understand how these players aren't here.

USA played a good game, we definitely did more then the USA on the offensive, Brodeur was a bit disappointing to say the least.

Liimp wristed, poorly aimed attempts most of them.

 

I'd expect miller to block all of my 45 shots on net.....

[Fish4Eyes]

Canada's offence needs to learn how to raise the puck when shooting.

Miller made probably 5 highlight reel worthy saves in one game. And Brodeur LOST the game for us on our end.

In my eyes one goalie won the game for his team, another lost it.

Luongo gets the start vs Germany

you can't be serious the best stop Brodeur made all night didn't even get close to him it was blocked by Doughty

[Stoty]

Amen brother.

 

Green, St. Louis, Lecavalier, Carter and Stamkos should all be there.

 

 

As for last night's game.....if Brodeur didn't handle the puck...Canada wins hands down.

He cost us 2 goals by trying to be Sami Sosa.

 

I love Marty to death and is by far the best goalie to ever play the game...but you're job is to STOP pucks dude not CLEAR them out of the zone.

 

Kudos to Miller, he made key saves when he had to.

 

I'm just glad this happened in the round robin, and not the medal round.

We just have a tougher road to the GOLD than we had hoped!

 

I believe!

[Jigger]

I still don't understand why Brodeur got the start in the first place. Should've let Fleury get the start, then you could at least get a good impression as to who the best goalie on your squad is. How many important games(read playoffs) have Luongo and Brodeur won in the last two years? Maybe Babcock has it out for him because of last year? Luongo got a shut out this Olympics, granted. But at the same time, he wasn't really tested and is, IMO, not the best goalie on the Canadian side. Neither is Brodeur. The best goalie is heating the end of the bench. IF anything, Babcock should've seen the read that the US squad had on Brodeurs play early on and made the switch at 2-0. Whatever, I hope they dont grip their sticks too tight on Tuesday...

[holdfast]

Don't Panic Boys, look at the bright side, we get to play more Hockey, the Russians now have to play us. As far as blaming Pronger Thornton and Bradeur, I still think they were good choices, if you ask me, half the team could use more heart. I bet you if they get to play again, they will shine. Canada out played them big time, besides the penalties, bad goals, it was Canadas game. Dont Panic

[Rizzo]

Green, St. Louis, Lecavalier, Carter and Stamkos should all be there

 

ok so to make room for these guys who do you leave off? Crosby? Nash? Iginla? Getzlaf?There are many great players in Canada. You could obviously make 2 or even 3 teams that could win a medal..unfortunately you can only enter 1 team.

Perry and Getzlaf immediately spring to mind. Green for Niedermeyer is also fair. Lecavalier isn't the same guy he once was. Mind you, neither is Brodeur but...
