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.
Well said, took the words out of my mouth. I think Brossoit earned it, was the better out of the three, and the position was given to the hype surrounding Subban regardless of his lackluster performance. I don't think it was just Flames fans myphed at the decision, there were many others.
