luongo is having a good season, but i agreed with price playing in the olympics, was glad he played,
and obviously that was babcock's plan, as the game that luongo did play, he did well, so it wasn't
because he didn't play well, it was 'the' plan, and it was the right one. i feel more comfortable
with price in goal, he is so calm and steady, and better in my opinion, but had price been injured
i don't doubt that luongo would have done just fine, babcock isn't stupid, he wouldn't have brought
him to the olympics just because he likes him, he knew how he was playing this season, thus was given
the nod, along with smith.

Price had a hot streak going during the NHL games prior to the Olympics... Lou wasn't doing bad, but Price was hot.
I'll wager that fact played more of a factor than anything else

yeah, i agree, and also, luongo had a couple of small injuries recently,
and did miss some games, which also factors in.
After Price, the pickins were pretty slim for Canadian goalies. I mean Smith??? Couldn't stop a beach ball til he went to the Yotes and any goalie looks good playing behind that system. Look at Bryzgalov. Looks like an all-star in a Yotes uni and a truck driver in Philly and Edmonton. No, Babcock didn't have much to choose from when it came to goaltending. Thank gawd Price stayed healthy and played well. We all know how Luongo plays under pressure.
kerry price is from 'anahim lake', b.c.
mike smith is from 'kingston ontario.
roberto luongo is from 'montreal'.

Sochi 2014 - CBC Sports - Canada retains gold medal record at Winter Olympics
The Canadian Olympic team may not have hit the medal count they were hoping for in Sochi, but they can be secure in the knowledge that a record they set in Vancouver will live on.
Canada’s record-setting number of gold medals won in Vancouver wasn’t broken at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Host nation Russia came up short, finishing with 13 gold medals, one back of Canada’s record-setting haul of 14 won in Vancouver.
Russia’s 13 golds matches the mark set by Norway in 2002 and the Soviet Union in 1976.

I also do not think the time to change goaltender would be after one completed a shutout in the quarter-finals. He was hot in the Olympics at the right time.
for sure, babcock has the goods on every player, he knows how to make those decisions, never doubted
what he would do for a second.
Bingo!
I totally agree with you Talloola. Not quite sure how this discussion got this far. It started with me asking one simple question that required a one word answer. But then "AIRHEAD" decided to get sarcastic and I should have dropped it realizing he was just being his normal self. I've always liked Lu through thick and thin and I like to see him do well.
In your opinion. -

yes, jlm, you have to work on figuring out what is 'worth' replying to and what isn't, then you won't
get stuck in the gutter with others who are there., i find it is very important to stay happy and balanced,
and getting sucked into that sort of garbage isn't good for one's health, and has no quality attached to
it, no constructive outcome, just more or the same.
