Why are you such an ass?

First I am going to say that I think that Brodeur should be the starter for Team Canada the rest of the way:

However what if Brodeur lets in 1 or 2 against the Swiss and maybe ones he should have had, do you give the start to Luongo against the US? Or do you still show confidence in Brodeur and let him have another shot at it and let him run the table?

I know this is probably the wrong place to ask this, but I figure I would.

Brodeur would have to suck badly, like Tommy Salo olympics bad for them to not make him the starter against the US I think

Last season Iginla played with arguably the highest skilled player on his line in his NHL career, and yet was less than inspiring much of the time. Olli Jokinen has been a "first-line skilled player" for virtually his entire career, and yet he and Iginla produced diminishing returns. On the other hand, he has managed to win goal scoring titles and an Art Ross Trophy without any so=called "first line skilled linemate". I think the point is highly debatable, and to chastize Sutter for not supplying Iginla with the talent he needs is shortsighted in light of his trades for Huselius, Tanguay, Cammalleri and Jokinen.

I've been saving that. He's actually pissed me off for the better part of the last month up until he was banned. I'm sure I am not alone with that regard.

HPLovecraft · 02-16-2010, 08:36 PM

The Olympics site has Nash as the last goal scorer, not Iginla, but NHL.com, CTV.ca, etc., have it as Iginla.

Weird...

I love the fact Canada won as if was scripted but must give props to Norway. They played a great game considering most of them have day jobs.

braveheart57 · 02-16-2010, 08:36 PM

The real, deep-seated problem with this team has been their drafting. Terrible! How long has it been since the Flames came up with a good, young star player. Other than the year they drafted Phaneuf, which was almost a lay-up. I think the scouting department needs to be overhauled or something.

Ren · 02-16-2010, 08:37 PM

As far as I know the Olympic officials awarded the goal to Nash. Do they go back and review goals like the NHL does, or is it official now?

Because it definitely looked like Iggy tipped it in.

Did she answer my question? no. I stated that in my response. She has even responded again since then with more info that didn't answer my question.

I'm not sure why you are such a little baby that me stating a fact is somehow hurtful to another poster. Thanks for trying I guess but that wasn't what I was looking for so I decided to make that clear so that maybe someone else would answer because they may have more than just the last 2 minutes on PVR like me and could go back and listen to the previous calls.

It's Iggy's goal. No question that that puck changed directions.

He got a hat trick playing on a line with the best player in the world against a completely overmatched team with a carpenter for a goalie.

All this "see, look what he can do with a good linemate" is just ridiculous.

Guys like Crosby and Nash and other "first line skilled linemates" aren't just out there for the taking. And the fact that Phaneuf watched tonight's game on TV and wasn't even on the radar for the Olympic team tells me that he wasn't going to fetch anybody quite as talented as so many of us seem to think.

She responded to your question quite fine. He didn't do the Jarome call because it's the Olympics. If you don't like the answer don't be a beligerrent ass, just make your question a little clearer.

You've made a history of posting ass-hat comments to people and it's annoying. I didn't mention anything about anyone being hurt, but if you feel your comments are so biting as to do that, all the power to you. I know you likely won't understand why it's being an ass as you've demonstrated numerous times an incapability to understand regular human interaction.

Not to necessarily defend the Flames drafting, because it hasn't been great, but star players don't fall from trees when you are drafting in the 20s. Only the top picks in the first round give you a great shot at star players. After that, luck plays a much bigger factor when you end up with a Booth or Stastny.

a couple hundred hats on the ice say different

In all seriousness, I think you go with Brodeur all the way. He's got the pedigree, the experience and the winning past that proves to anyone that you can go back to him if he struggles in a game.

And, FWIW, most here still hate Luongo. Can't stand him. His putting Canada's jersey on doesn't change that. But, hating a guy doesn't mean people want him to fail. If he ends up going back in for some reason, people will bitch about the asinine chant, but people will still want him, and Canada, to succeed.
