The way this guy chokes with 2 softies against the Slovaks, Louie won't make a difference. Why? In a good way of course. Canada will win, just like against Germany, russia, & Slovakia WITHOUT Louie doing ANYTHING. Never needed to steal a game like Miller.
That first one sure, Luongo shouldn't have been cheating and paid the price for it but.. how the hell was the second goal a softie? You're telling me Miller could've stopped that one? It was a defensive breakdown as Bergeron collided with our D-man leaving their player open infront of our net..

Luongo was as good as he needed to be, but wasn't brilliant (unlike Miller). I fully expected to see Brodeur in a gold medal game, but Luongo showed he can play in and win the big games.

The hockey genius is back. I find it amazing that good ole bj is far more knowledgeable than the braintrust that put this team together. Maybe you should call Mike Illich who owns the Red Wings and tell them to can Holland and Yzerman, because you are an infinitely better judge of talent then them. Mayber they should get rid of Babcock as well, and you can be Coach/GM/ and be President of the team.

another expert.

Talk about someone having the easiest job in doing nothing in this tournament and still getting the huge payout lol.
How many people really thought of fleury as being part of the team as the games went on ? Or even thought of him period ?
I don't think it would be that easy.
If I were him, I would feel so uneasy anytime someone asked to see my medal.
He shows back up in the penguins locker room with Crosby.
Do they all make a big fuss over him too?

Anyone remember back in 02 Saltlake city when Team Canada was receiving their gold medals, Ed Belfour was the third goalie and got a medal for just hanging around. When they placed the medal around his neck, the ribbon broke and the medal fell. He recieved a broken medal. Rather symbolic isn't it? I just downloaded the entire 02 gold medal game and noticed that incident again the other day

If you look at it the way your describing it.....yes your right. But I was referring too how much work he put in. Nothing lol. Thats what I was talking about. Effort wise.
Now now, he put in lots of effort in the practices to help them prepare, I'm sure! :)

Nice to see that the MVP can let in goals that he could have stopped too. Everyone's human :)

louie made absolutely nondifference in those 5 Olympic games. I wouldn't call playing against Norway, Germany & a half-assed Russian effort hardly any challenging for our Bobby Lou lol.

Keep in mind that Miller was the tournament's best goalie, every media who was there can say that. No mention of any millers weak goals. Louie didn't hv to make any game-changing saves bc our team was so stacked that other than the 5-3 loss to USA, any goalie would do.

So, if you had been between the pipes Canada would still have won gold ?

No duh, everyone suspected that already going into the olympics and nobody is discounting that. He had to be the best he could for the US to have a chance.

Lol, one of the rare times where I was GLAD Luongo was not adventurous outside his net. Brodeur really seemed to be lost without his Devils system.

I thought the overtime goal in the Goal Medal game was weak. Miller went for a poke-check (as he himself admitted) instead of being ready for a shot.

The save Luongo made on Demitra at the end of the Slovak game put us into the final, and he was not spectacular against the U.S., but he was steady enough to help win us a gold. What has Miller won in his career?

I thought that too. I have seen that goal 20 times now.
If Lou had let in the exact same goal to lose in OT, he would have been hacked apart by his haters.

It was pointed out on TSN that it was a weak goal, even happens even to MVP's. The problem with Luongo is it happens almost every game (weak goal) IMO.

Ok. I'll take the bait. Other than the Slovakian game, which weak goals did you see given up by Loungo? To be fair, I wasn't able to watch a lot of the preliminary round, but he did shut out one team (the first game) so it couldn't have been that one.
