Out of Town Scoreboard

Price
Luongo
Holtby/Reimer/Bernier

Price as your starter, Luongo as the experienced backup and then a good young goalie that they traditionally take as the 3rd stringer for the experience.

Cam Ward, outside of one season (and one playoff run nearly a decade ago now) has been average to below average through out his career. Crawford is an average starter at best. Harding is a nice feel good story, but his body of work is tiny as he's spent most of his career as a backup.

Harding.... Im fine with taking him if he keeps up his strong play...take advantage of his career year.

But ya...as of right now I go Price/Holtby/Luongo

#Bernier.

So you are using Berniers AHL stats as proof he should be in the team canada mix? Nice.

No, I'm saying that hockey Canada tends to take a young goaltender as the #3 to international tournaments, and Bernier is one of the better young goalies in Canada right now. Why you used the 30 yr old Harding as a counter point absolutely baffles me. If you wanted to use Holtby, Reimer, Mason, etc, I would see some merit in your point, but you brought up a 30 yr old with no track record.

Selective.

I want them to take the best goalie. Not "traditional" choices.

Might as well get Draper on the team again.

Meh, a #3 is exactly that. I'm fine with Hockey Canada bringing a talented young goalie as the #3 even if he isn't the 3rd best Canadian goalie at the moment. The odds of him seeing action are slim to none in a short tournament format. If our #1 & 2 flopped that badly that we'd need our #3, we're already out of the tournament.
 
There's no way Reimer or Bernier get a nod this time around, but if they both continue to put up good numbers, at some point somebody's going to notice.

Agreed, Holtby should get the nod imo, though Reimer & Holtby have been almost identical to this point minus Reimer's whiplashed season.

Thing is, they're probably both the reason the other guy won't get the nod......if either of them were in a position to be a full time starter this year, I suspect they'd both have a very good shot.

The lack of starts is likely what prevents either of them from going this time around.

Crawford and Ward will be ahead of Reimer and Holtby

Neither should be anywhere near the conversation. Crawford is almost 29 and aside from one year of his life an average at best NHL starter. Cam Ward is no longer the young, potential franchise goaltender the entire world thought he was 7-8 years ago. He's also been, aside from very isolated portions of his career, an average at best NHL starter. Taking either of them as the #3 goalie, when both will be in their mid 30's and not even remotely looked at for a prime time role during the 2018 olympics, would be pointless.

honestly, the only 3 guys who show up on all 5 of those lists, and have played pretty much as a full time starter for most of that time, are Holtby, Price, and Reimer.
