Fleury would have stopped that.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
I think Canada's problem is too many head coaches on the bench.

He might have been so out of position on the initial shot that he would have been right there to stop the deflection.llipgh2 wrote:Fleury would have stopped that.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
He's talented enough to make it, no doubt. But what does he bring that others don't? And what separates him from others that were also left off? Canada has a lot of natural centers already...Giroux is not fast at all and he's not a shooter...he's a small-ish, average skating, playmaker...he has superb playmaking skill, don't get me wrong...but they made the right call, there's not really a place he fits on this team...columbia wrote:Despite your sarcasm, he probably should have made the team.Lt.

Taking all emotion out of the situation, I think he's a more useful hockey player than the February 2014 version of Martin St. Louis.mikey287 wrote:He's talented enough to make it, no doubt.

Re: The Official Olympic Hockey Thread
Yeah, I have no issue with Claude Giroux. I know exactly what he is. And I certainly respect your opinion on it, but I don't agree with it. St. Louis is a natural winger, better goal scorer (though a natural playmaker), much faster, energetic, plays better defensively now than Giroux has played in the last couple years...columbia wrote:Taking all emotion out of the situation, I think he's a more useful hockey player than the February 2014 version of Martin St. Louis.mikey287 wrote:He's talented enough to make it, no doubt.

St. Louis' ability to accept passes in stride and protect with speed is a useful skill on the wider ice and it's something that Giroux cannot do as effectively...
If Giroux is on the team, I don't lose any sleep over it...in fact, I might defend it depending on who the "other guy" is...
