Belfour out for TEAM Canada - RDS.cahabsfan19 08-09-2004, 05:05 PM http://rds.ca/cgi-bin/nouvelles?site=rdw&action=4&SPODIR=information&sport=#106465 Basically says he's pulled out, more details to follow habsfan19 08-09-2004, 05:08 PM http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=94223 SedinFan 08-09-2004, 05:09 PM http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=94223 Back problems. Fish on The Sand 08-09-2004, 05:10 PM God I hope Theodore is the replacement. Eric Forest 08-09-2004, 05:12 PM :) Put Theodore ! Shoalzie 08-09-2004, 05:16 PM Theodore or Turco... Vincent Vega 08-09-2004, 05:19 PM I'm guessing Turco... Fike Misher 08-09-2004, 05:20 PM I'm guessing it'll be Theo stepping in, though I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cujo. MHJS 08-09-2004, 05:29 PM LLLLLAAAAALIME Ok, sorry. Theodore is the logical choice, but you never know who it could be. Lots of great Canadian goalies. Fike Misher 08-09-2004, 05:32 PM Roloson and Denis are good choices too, better than Turco at least. Ajacied 08-09-2004, 05:34 PM Roloson and Denis are good choices too, better than Turco at least. :lol: Turco seems like the most logical choice since the defense wouldn't have to adjust playing infront of him or Brodeur, whereas they likely would if it's a goalie without the stickhandling qualities. senate 08-09-2004, 05:36 PM Just to be part of the crowd, I am going to say Theodore will get it too. Although my crystal ball also sees, in no particular order, Raycroft, Joseph, Turco, and Giguere as darkhorses.* *some very darker than others. SensGod 08-09-2004, 05:44 PM It'll be either Theodore or Turco...I personally think that Theodore will get the nod. But who really cares...it's not like they are going to get any playing time anyway... Epsilon 08-09-2004, 05:45 PM Should be Turco, he's been the most consistently good Canadian goalie (other than Brodeur) over the last three seasons. Flames Draft Watcher 08-09-2004, 05:47 PM Theodore would be my pick. Turco can be a bit too risky at times with his puckhandling... Fish on The Sand 08-09-2004, 06:07 PM Theodore would be my pick. Turco can be a bit too risky at times with his puckhandling... If stickhandling is why you would take Theo over Turco you've got another thing coming. Theo while not horrible is average and tends to overplay. Turco on the other hand is simply outstanding. ZombieMatt 08-09-2004, 06:15 PM While I'm never happy to see a player be injured, I'm relieved that Belfour will not be participating in the tournament because this eliminates any chance that he will actually play. I was concerned he may play in the backup role, which I think there are several goaltenders who are better than him (although obviously Gretz and Co didn't). This probably will put Luongo into the b/u role, which might be a good thing, just to let him see this level of play for the future when he probably will be one of Canada's top netminders. I'm somewhat curious to see who gets asked to be the third goalie now. It doesn't really matter, I don't think, seeing how its unlikely he will play, but for prestige it would be a big deal to the players. I expect to see Jose Theodore named, personally, but perhaps Marty Turco will get the nod. crakced 08-09-2004, 06:29 PM I would think that Theodore gets the call and if not Giguere would be my second choice. Turco has had two poor playoff showings in a row, which likely will rule him out. cyrisweb 08-09-2004, 06:44 PM I have to agree that it doesn't really matter who they choose.. they won't be playing for the most part. maybe get 1 game. PanthersRule96 08-09-2004, 07:28 PM Theodore Brodeur will start just because of his career accomplishments. Luongo IMO will end up the starter in the important games and I hope he shows the world that he's the best goalie. BTW, Hannan got a 3 year 7.8 million dollar deal in SJ. McCabe got a 2 year 9 million dollar deal in TOR :shakehead :shakehead McCabe is good but not for 4.5 million a year. Maybe 2.75-3 mil, but 4.5 :( That's pathetic Jack Canuck 08-09-2004, 08:28 PM Turco Sonik 08-09-2004, 08:45 PM It's official. It's Theo. www.rds.ca Kevin Forbes 08-09-2004, 09:25 PM English link http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story.asp?id=94223 go kim johnsson 514 08-10-2004, 11:20 AM It's official. It's Theo. www.rds.ca The way it should be. Shappa 08-10-2004, 07:16 PM When I found out about this I was watching the score and didn't catch the name of the goalie who was out, but the way they were talking about it, it sounded like they were reading an obituary... I thought for sure it was Brodeur, thank god it turned out to be our third stringer. I can't see why it really matters who the third guy is, they mind as well pick it on who charts shots the best because if anyone occupying that spot sees the ice, it's because team Canada has probably already lost at least two games and the cup is just about out of reach. | ||
