Fact is, if they win gold, no one will think/talk about Giroux

everyone has their opinion. Team Canada brass has made some pretty abysmal decisions in the past. No reason to think it can't happen again. Do I know better? No. But in saying Kunitz shouldn't be there, and Giroux should, I very well might be right. In fact so far, it's looking like I (and many others) are right, and it was one decision that they screwed up on.

obvi. One of them told me that just as recently as three weeks ago, he saw Giroux slacking it on the backcheck, and Kunitz has never done that.

i'm not sure that's true. We won gold in 2010 and everyone remembers Luongo was pretty bad. It's pretty well accepted that they won despite Luongo, not because of him.

Why do you see Holland as a 4th liner?

I like his game better than Raymond's, and he can play center.

When Bolland and Holland come back, I don't see much room for Raymond in the bottom-6...

I hope nobody gets hurt. And I hope Bolland is 100% healthy.

I like both those guys. Big, strong forecheckers that can fight and chip in a little offence. Not sure Raymond gets either though.

okay, so we'll still be talking about how terrible a decision Kunitz is, just not who he should have been replaced by. Whatevs. I can still name a few guys that were head scratchers on Olympic teams of years past. Zamuner one year. Eric Brewer. There's more.

I don't care about your stats, maybe you were too young to remember or something, he wasn't good. But if you want some stats on that, I'd be happy to look them up.

Someone just got a shutout for Team Canada today. Not even sure who. Was it Luongo? Was he awesome today?

Even if Giroux was there, we'd complain about another player being left off the roster.








I'm really not a fan of Kunitz being there.

You're probably right. I'm just saying, we don't forget these things the minute they win gold, like I thought you were suggesting. Years later, people still question them. At least in Canada, we do. It's all a part of our obsession.

It is defiantly worth bringing up how we won..no thanks to Luongo

Never forget!!...we should have won Ultra super gold instead of regular stupid gold

i know im obsessing and being a homer in some ways, but the dude is tied for 4th in points since 2010 and is as intense as they come. really is a shame he got passed over, imo

it will be okay man.. think of the advantage the flyers will have to have him rested while you are fighting for a playoff spot

might be a blessing in disguise if you look at it that way.
