Luongo To Start Against Germany
Apparenty, Luongo is getting the start and Babcock is shortening the bench.

UPDATE: Luongo starts against Germany. Canada will go with an NHL format from here on, using 12 forwards and shortening its bench early if needed. Management was not happy with Babcock failing to call a timeout late in the game.

Not sure how reliable this is.

I bet you see Luongo from here on out provided he looks decent against Germany. You don't split duties in single elimination. You go with who you believe gives you the best chance to win.

They have to play every game like its their last... because it could be. Shortening the bench allows you to set lines and not worry about rotating in the 13th forward or 7th defenseman.

Babcock has given no indication that he's capable of managing this team to victory. Out coached the last two games by a wide margin and seemingly searching for answers.

Norm!

Well if he's shortening the bench we probably won't see Iggy because Perry will get a lot more ice time as well as Big Lazy Joe.

If Luongo does start tomorrow, I'll be indifferent if Canada loses
As much as I love Team Canada, I hate the Canucks even more.

Management is concerned he didnt call a time out?
Not concerned about anything else other than some worthless non call time out.
I would prefer to see Fleury get the chance, but I think Luongo is the safer choice.
He cant be any worse than what we had in net last night.
I dont hate the canucks because of their players, rather their fans.

If Luongo plays from here on out, look for Russia to pound us bad.

THis is good to see. I have more confidence with Luongo between the pipes than wandery Marty.
Also, if Iginla is the forward that gets scratched, I will be heading to Vancouver, where I will kill Mike Babcock then myself.

A worthless timout? You mean the one that would have got Crosby out there instead of Perry? I'd say that was a pretty damn big timeout to not take.

and they left Osgood at home as well
but I guess it was Osgood and Fleurys play in net that led to their teams scoring them 3 goals a game in the playoffs
the Penguins knew they had to score that much because Fleury's stats in the playoffs last year were not good GAA: 2.61, SV%: .908

So if it's Canada vs. Finland in the final with Luongo and Kipper in net.... Who do you root for?

1-0 Canada OT win with Iggy getting the unassisted goal.
On second though, why would Babcock play a scrub like Iginla in OT?
