As a Canucks fan, I can't help but feel excited about Luongo getting the start. Thus far in his career hes had mixed success when it comes to high pressure games. If he can help Canada win gold as a starter, not only will it give him supreme confidence in high pressure situations, but it will get alot of the naysayers off his back which will be nice... Every goalie has to start somewhere (Every goalie at some point is questioned until they win the big one) This, I think, Is Luongos chance, and I have a good feeling that hes going to step up big time.
Also, wanted to quickly comment on Iginla starting on the top line for the next game. I think its a terrific idea, and like most people here, he should have been on the top line since game one. He looks much better up there than Nash, and as long as Babcock keeps Iggy up there, the top line should produce. Alot.
