That doesn't sound like Babcock. Sounds more like something Babcock was "instructed" to say.

Yea the early goal by the Americans last night just killed us. Although we tied it shortly after they responded quickly again. The key is to score first and settle it down and take advantage of being on home and play smart.

If people could cheer for Bertuzzi but can't cheer for Luongo, they are fans of their team, but not hockey fans.

You bet it is. The thing about Luongo is that he goes on streaks where he'll let in a bad goal a game, then be unbeatable for ten games. I hope the (admittedly easy) shutout started a good roll.

How good has Luongo been in back-to-back games this year or in the past?

You know, one thing that was pretty underrated for Team Canada is how much fight they put in despite at least TWO deflating goals precipitated (if not outright let in) by Brodeur.
You could see the team sag a little bit after the quick USA goal but they put in some pressure and potted their own goal. Then Baseball Brodeur. Team Canada staggered but still kept pushing and managed to tie it again!
Then a breakdown in defense (which in all honesty are things that will sometimes happen) coupled with yet another boneheaded play by Brodeur gives the Americans yet another lead. Absolutely crushing especially since USA scores again and makes it 4-2.
They still fought and even pushed it to 4-3. Now, we know how that ended (DAMNIT PERRY. DAMNIT BABCOCK) but they pushed three goals past an exceptional Miller that made no real mistakes.

It really is. If they win great. If Canada loses it won't be nearly as disappointing. In fact if they are going to lose I hope they get spanked and put up a 7uongo.

Germany = turtle defense.
Prediction
Shot count 35 - 12
15 shots blocked. Canada limps away 3-1.

It's the bloody Olympics people, cheer for your COUNTRY and put NHL stuff aside right now. Heck even my diehard Canuck fans hate Kesler right now and will not cheer on Sweden because of the Sedins, Finland because of Salo, Slovakia because of Demitra, etc etc. And whaddya know, when Iginla scored a hat trick last week, a lot of those fans throwing those expensive Team Canada hats onto the ice were Canuck fans.

Even Pooungo should be able to beat a sad sack Germany team. I'm sure when Canada defeats the Germies tomorrow all the Nuck fans will be praising Pooungo like nobodies business.
Unfortunately for Team Canada, I think Russia spanks us pretty bad on Wednesday.

So say Russia beats Canada 2-1 and Luongo makes 43 saves.
On this board, it will still be his fault right?

Nope but I am sure Luongo will find away to throw his teammates under the bus.

Jesus Christ man, take off the glasses and stop drinking the kool-aid. We all know you hate Luongo, but you look like such a fool with some of your comments about Luongo and Canada.
If Luongo plays his best, not even Russia will put one by him.
