Really? I'm sure you've watched more of Vancouver than I have, but it seems to me watching Garrison this year has been like watching a tire fire on skates. Basically he has a shot and gets pucks through but he can't skate very well and doesn't really seem to try very hard to win battles. He was directly responsible for the Kings GWG on Hockey Night this past Saturday.

This team will have an extremely tough time getting to the medal round with that goaltending in this international all-star tournament. Forwards and defensemen look solid and there are ten players that have won the Stanley Cup.

Hahaha, yeah, I can't imagine them getting to the medal round, much less winning, say, a gold medal at the olympics, with Roberto Luongo in net. That could never happen.

Why, because Kunitz and Giroux aren't both hockey players? Here's how it becomes a choice between Kunitz and Giroux: pick one of them and put him on Sidney Crosby's wing for the Olympics. I pick Giroux. See how easy that was?
