Babcock Joins Team Canada

As assistant to Coach Q (http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/news_story.asp?id=78309)

Hopefully Jiggy and Rucchin are on that team, too.

the article specifically mentions Giguere
though he'll be second fiddle to Luongo

Possibly, but Jiggy tends to play well later into the season. During the tournament, he could easily take the job away from Luongo. The job likely won't be decided untill a few games into the tournament.

the job is decided going in
Luongo won the them gold last year and has done nothing to change that opinion of dominance since
Giguere is a lot more of a question

True, but I believe Burke was designated as starter last year, and Luongo grabbed it from him. I'm confident that Jiggy could give Luongo a run for his money. I also believe Jiggy won gold a couple years back, as well.

Luongo is a lock for the number 1 spot.

Giguere will go if he is the backup and gets to play a couple games.

He won't go if hes the third string guy that sits in the stands. They should choose a young guy for the third string spot who wants the experience of hanging out there...but Giguere should be the backup.
