Some of your points are valid, and I am impressed with your knowledge of the game. I just don't see Luongo being the guy. Yes he stood on his head for the panthers but he never took them to the playoffs and while the teams in front of him were not that great to me it means he's not a truly elite goalie. Brodeur has not played well and although he is considered one of the best puck-handling goalies of all time he made a couple of critical mistakes. I don't see them going with Luongo and winning gold. Just my opinion ; I could be wrong. Watch the canucks in the playoffs this year. They won't make it past round 2 and he'll be a big part of that.

It's okay, Mr. Reerun_KC.

Some people don't like talking stamps, I guess. And, he's not alone. It's pretty obvious that Mr. Bearcat and Mr. blaise don't like my posts. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way and just haven't said anything. I guess I'll just stop posting. It's not like anybody really appreciates my stamp knowledge, anyhow ... or, my Iceman puns, either, for that matter. I might as well be a Raider fan or a Donk fan. Thanks for the support, but it looks like the writing is on the wall and it's time to set aside my posting efforts and get started on my Columbian Drug Lord career.

FAX DE SALSA VON QUESO EL PABLO

Ruh roh. Fins on a 5 on 3 PP.

Interestingly, I just realized that the Avs PA announcer dude is really popular. He's doing the PA for the Olympic hockey games.

Sweden is dumb to take these penalties. Finland hasn't even shown they can get a good shot on goal.

Jeez - ANOTHER 5 on 3.

that canadian female curler? she wasn't as..... COLD AS ICE.

must've been playing....HEAD GAMES

I'll just assume she had..... DOUBLE VISION...on that last one.

I was just kidding around in the other thread. Iceman, chill out, etc.

Respect alone will keep Marty in net, and yeah, when it comes down to it the guy has 3 Cups and a gold medal... he's earned it. Too bad he can't setup all those awards behind him against Russia (jk).

Well then they should put Fluery in. He has the most upside but also downside...
When he is on he is great but that could be my die hard penguin side talking haha. Your right about Luongo, he is great during the regular season, but playoffs he seems to crack under the pressure.

Not really.

But at last they aren't all ****heads like the Leafs fans. You jackasses are worse than Yankees fans.

"Eh, that guys good and plays for some team not on Toronto...he'll be a Leaf, eh. If he's not a Leaf, it's because he's a no-talent pussy and we don't want him."

Guess it makes sense that you're also a 'Beaker.

I'm pretty sure I hate you.

I'm not all that impressed with the refs in this game.

Aww... I didn't mean anything by it, Mr FAX. You're one of my favorite posters. *chest bump*

No, and not just this game. Too many calls overall. Guys might as well just start taking dives. It seems like you'll get the call.

3-0 Swedes. Unless something crazy happens, US will be #1. Nice.

When Luongo's not fighting the puck he's the best in the world. His positioning is nearly perfect, he has good size, good instincts and great speed.

I've seen games that I was certain could've gone for 160 minutes with 80 SOG and nothing was getting by Luongo. He has as much raw talent as any goalie I've ever seen.

You'll never know what you have in him if you don't give him a chance. Canada is behind the 8-ball right now, it's time for them to swing for the fences. Another 'off' game by an aging Brodeur and you guys are going home without a medal. Put your most talented goalie out there and trust that he has the fortitude to carry you. He's the only chance you have against an absolutely loaded Russian squad.

I respect the hell out of Brodeur, but Luongo is the only way you win the 4 in a row you're going to need. Get him in, get him hot, and hope. Luongo has a level to his game that Brodeur no longer has. Put him between the pipes and hope he finds it.
