kickingfrog Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 With his gm picking the team it's not like he wasn't considered. He didn't make the 2010 team either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbailey Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'm not sure PK's reward is worth the risk. Doesn't mean he doesn't get named, just not sure he'll play much. Funny, we usually have not enough Right hand D-men this year it seems like it is the other way. They said if PK makes the team he would have been the 7th or 8th man.

jbailey Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 No Giroux? No love for the boy from Hearst? He's a great player, I think his slow start ruined his chances (as well as the ridiculous depth at C) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Didn't hear him say that. Stevie wasn't his gm 4 years ago. We can disagree all day but this group knows hockey better then us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbailey Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 They said it a few times. Of course they know the game better, but doesn't mean we can't ponder or disagree with the decisions.. Its not like the players they chose were all locks, clearly there are a few players that could be subbed in or out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbailey Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Overall, I really don't care, I'm just excited to see the team in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 They (tsn Duthie) did ask Stevie did you recuse yourself and he did not say that he did. Doesn't mean he didn't but the buck stops with him. Agreed that this isn't easy and until we have hockey in 5 weeks we've got nothin' else to do but .

misfish Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Carey Price. NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookinforwalleye Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well if not Price then who Brian??? and don`t tell me Bernier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskymatt Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think Subban is a big mistake, he's a showboater who lets his emotions drive his play. Watched the game last night and Subban tried to be a one man show, until he started running into his own players. So what's he going to be? A 7th or 8th guy who plays under 7 min a game? That will piss him off and he'll be a distraction to the rest. Let him mature a few years, then try him. Right now, he's too selfish, too unpredictable and a hot head who takes too many penalties.

misfish Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Well if not Price then who Brian??? and don`t tell me Bernier Who has the better percentage? Who plays in front a 40 shot team and still wins? Bernier Give him a team in front of him and the wins will be easy. Price is no where near the top of his game. Either is Lego.

Bernier Give him a team in front of him and the wins will be easy. Price is no where near the top of his game. Either is Lego. I'll agree that Bernier is better than Remier but he shouldnt be on team Canada. Leafs had an easy first half schedule, now with tougher teams in the second half they are going to start losing games. Bernier won't be as good with a higher voulme of shot coming on net, especially in the olympics when everyone is a high calibre player. Mike Smith was a solid choice, i'm glad he was chosen. I wouldnt hesitate to throw him in net if Price starts to waver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay since you asked...Carey Price has better numbers but it is not always about the numbers if it was Josh Harding, Brian Elliott and Ben Scrivens would be the goalies!!! And BTW Bernier avg. is 32 shots against and Price is 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well if not Price then who Brian??? and don`t tell me Bernier Crawford, Flurry, Brouder for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well time will tell,AND YES, I like Smith better then the other two. Price will not be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am not a huge PK fan he is a very good player....I think he will be fine in the Olympic format and he will understand what his role is!!!
