According to a report from Yahoo! Sports, Roberto Luongo will get the start in net for Canada against Germany in Tuesday's qualification round game, replacing Martin Brodeur.
However in an interview with Vancouver radio station THE TEAM 1040, Canada's head coach Mike Babcock was not yet ready to make that announcement Posted via RS Mobile

Fucking facepalm. Does this guy not understand that this isn't a best out of 7 series? Everyone, even Brodeur supporters, are saying it's time to put Lu in net.
He didn't watch the superbowl I guess, he would've learned that sometimes risks pay off

That quote is very misleading regarding 1040, nothing he said implied he wouldn't use luongo, he was just holding his cards to his chest as any good coach would Posted via RS Mobile
It sucks to lose but at least the game brought more attention to hockey. I was on a predominately american forum, and the Canada vs US thread reached 37 pages in 2 days. A typical post:

i don't know anything about hockey and the most i've watched is highlights on sportscenter, but that game was really entertaining.
Quote:
that was one of the best hockey games i have ever watched. anything less than USA V CAN for gold will be anticlimactic.
Sadly, I read that NBC showed figure skating rather than USA vs CAN hockey because the Winter Olympics is 1 of the 3 most watched events by women. And more women watch figure skating than hockey.

Well NBC also didn't want to show hockey on the main network because they said they couldn't switch between events. I think the only game that's going to be on the main network will be the gold medal game.

Babcock needs to stop sucking Brouders cock and put Luongo in net for the rest of the Olympics... simple that that.
It's things like that, that make Vancouver hockey fans look like simpletons. Luongo *is* getting the start against Germany. Personally I'm going to laugh after they (Canada) win because all you homer fans will be praising Luongo when he displays minimal effort. Canada is going to take their frustrations out on Germany, so I anticipate a pretty one sided affair.

I think what 1exotic meant was after brodeur let in 2 goals in 5 shots, Babcock started to suck Brodeur's cock by kept letting him play.
I think Babbock's decision to let Brodeur start was smart but to kept letting him play was dumb.
is it just me or does lude_s like totally hate luongo? to the point that he fails anyone that has anything good to say about the guy lol
hes not better than marty fool, but u gotta give a brother a chance

which is why canucks "fans" are so ignorant
they hate luongo
then when hes on Canada's team, he gets the praise, the very same fucktards who dont kno dick all about Broduer and his place in Canadian hockey history
I stand by Broduer and what he has done, yea he shit the bed, hes still no1 in my mind, the devils are no where near where they are this season without Broduer. I will admit myself that he shit hte bed pretty bad, especially that 4th goal where Pronger coulda done the job to clear the net/make the play.
Im all for Luongo starting 2molo, but I also do not disagree with some people to give Broduer the chance to redeem himself
i end this post with this
CANADA WILL WIN AS ONE FOR THE TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE
u know instead of arguing back and forth about luongo and brodeur, maybe canada just needs to do what TORTS said when he was pissed off after a game in NY "play fucking harder" LOL!!
technically it shouldn't matter who's in net if canada gets like 50 shots on goal and executes properly

sadly this team can play but one thing is missing, wheres the hard ima in your fuckin face game
this is why 2002 is different, the collection of players near the bottom 6 forwards were grinders with an offensive mentality. Guys like Mike Peca, Owen Nolan and even Ryan Smyth played KEY roles
these type of forwards are missing from the 2010 squad, with the exception of maybe Morrow, the team is just an all star squad
I hope for the best regardless becuz we will win double gold in Hockey once again
