Hey- I have no problem with Price, I just haven't followed him that much, while I know Lu is a super goalie which fits in with my philosophy of "going with the Devil you know over one you don't". What I do have a problem with is some smart A$$ who is too stupid to know there are no dumb questions and has to ridicule anything contrary to his thinking.

price is the goalie 'you' don't know, not babcock. vancouver was 4 years ago, and i don't think luongo should
automatically go into goal just because he played in the olympics 4 years ago, price has played 3 games
in this tournament, so he is experienced in the olympics now too, more so than luongo at this point.

Can't argue with that! -:)

You may very well be the only person on the planet that thinks Luongo should even be considered. Even Luongo would know in his heart that Price should start.

Hey there, Einstein, I just asked a simple question- who the goal tender would be. YOU could have answered "Price" and that would have been the end of it, but no you had to be an A.H. and try to make me look like one.

There are questions that show your lack of knowledge.

Hey, it's a "crap shoot", if we knew what the outcome was going to be there'd be no sense in playing the game. -:)

Absolutely, if I had the knowledge do you think I'd ask the question?

Well, yeah, that is a question that a lot of people with lots of hockey knowledge will debate, when there is reason to debate.

I'm sorry if it bothered you, but you happened to ask a question that, given the context, wound up sounding stupid in a way that is fun to point out.

Memo to Blackie:

Update:

Canadian Men lay an unholy beating on Great Britain in the Gold medal round.

Final Score:

Canada: 8
GB: 3

Great Britain gives up match and concedes victory prior to the end of the match to the superior team... Coach Soren Gran leaves Sochi Olympics humiliated and in shame.

That is all


We'll have the last laugh by the end of the Commonwealth Games (yes, it's the Commonwealth's Olympics this summer, don't forget), when we (England, not Great Britain) will finish higher than Canada in the medals table due to there not being many sports on ice for the Canadians to play in that event.

Hopefully that works out.



It ain't rocket science. We know Lu can win a gold, we're not sure about Price. Lu did nothing in 2010 to raise doubts and since then his play has improved. I would personally go with Lu.
JLM, unless Price has had a recent meal laced with arsenic there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that Lui starts that game.

Once you fail at the Commonwealth games (invented by Canadians I might remind you), what will be next?.... Predictions of winning results at the county pie eating contest... 3-legged race perhaps?

I am guessing that you really are stinging that the Canadian men ran you GBR team literally off the ice... Think about it man; your boys were too ashamed to even finish the contest.

FYI - That is the first time in history that a team has disgraced themselves so badly that they forfeit an olympic match 1/2 way through.

Shamed and disgraced is the only way to put it

Oh well, we shouldn't be surprised I guess. Any nation that has had to depend on others to save their bacon in 2 WW's and whose pride is founded in a pretend navy can not be expected to excel at anything.

My Granny can't wait for her first lawn bowling match. It should be riveting
