Seen Stamkos in the shootout? I sure did not. Nice work Lindy

I hope Eric Staal is okay. Knee on knee by Edler looked DIRTY as HELL.

 

[mattola]

man that looks awful

 

[puckhead]

btw - is the CDA -SWE game worth watching after the fact?
I have it recorded.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

That's for sure.

/Ward, Price, Smith/Luongo

lol why the frack is Ward always included ... sieve!

Would you rather have MAF?

ummm no ... Id rather have Crawford/Smith/Price/Luongo in the mix

There's still some guy named Brodeur out there who I've heard is having a decent career.

In all seriousness, I could see him getting the nod as the 3rd goalie for the tourney as sort of a last hurrah. The 3rd goalie almost never needs to play, but they could probably get him in a bit in a round-robin game and give him a chance to walk away with one last gold medal.

Marty is done for any international competition I think. you need the younger guys to come in and start getting it done. also he is done this year no? or does he have one year left on his contract?

One more year, so he'll still be active assuming he plays out his contract, no injuries, etc.

well I guess its a possibility to have him in there as the third guy. honestly of the list if Sochi starts today I would be

Luongo, Crawford, Price, Brodeur, MAF, Ward

and Luongo like Brodeur in 2010 would be on a pretty short leash. I just dont fully trust crawford yet

for the USA

Quick, Miller, Schneider

Quick, Miller, Schneider

Anderson? Howard?

didnt he kinda let it slip that he didnt want to go there as the 3rd goalie?

he was really asschapped that Luongo replaced him in 2010

I'd put Brodeur above Price right now (and not just because Price is hurt). I don't trust Price to perform under pressure.

Then again, as an American I should be hoping they go in with MAF as the starter

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Anderson? Howard?

I would consider putting Anderson in over Schneider, depending on how each looks next year.

Hard to vote against Quick, who has shown in last year's POs and so far in this year's that he has a whole different level when the big games roll around.

Hard to argue against Miller too given his performance in the 2010 games.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I think any teams #3 should be a younger goalie not someone pushing 50

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Yeah, well, he needs to STFU then. Luongo won gold. Feel free to complain if the guy that replaces you blows it (Tretiak, feel free to complain all you want), but when he helps the team win gold...

That's how goalies like MAF end up being able to "Olympic Gold Medalist" on their resumes.

IIHF ‏@IIHFHockey now Swedish D-man Alexander Edler suspended for remainder of #IIHFWorlds for knee-on-knee hit against Eric Staal. Edler to miss two last games …

so ... only 2 games??? ... should have probably gone into the olympics imo

Why do I think if it's a Canadian with a knee-on-knee hit on a Swede that it would be at least 5 games?

For the USA that could be Gibson & he isn't even in the NHL yet.

 

[mattola]

Anderson? Howard?

not above those 3 but I would put them in behind I need Andersson to do this a second year not just the one. Quick has me convinced its no fluke. Miller in 2010 deserves to be there in 2014 unless he is totally sucking next year.

one thing is for sure..... if Bobrovsky doesnt repeat that season Russia is fucked on home soil lol

There are other Russian goalies. They could use Varlamov, Bryzgalov, Nabokov etc. etc.. Oh shit you're right, they're in deep shit without Bob!!:
