I'd say Subban and Murphy were questionable decisions. Subban was not good in the pre-tournament games. Murphy is much too one-dimensional. Both might be blamed on the head coach as well for showing favouritism to his own player (Murphy) and the top goalie from his league (Subban). Who knows how much input Pendergast and Tugnutt had on those decision.

IMO it does look bad to basically hand Subban the starting role after he's the worst of the 4 goalies in the pre-tournament games. I didn't find I had any confidence in his consistency all tournament.

Doubt that had any bearing on the scouts performance. I wonder if it is more about players they didn't bring in to camps.
