Brodeur has been in net for the tough games and is battle tested, and if Luongo plays against Germany and wins, big deal. 2 wins against 2 subpar teams, and then he gets to face a tough opponent in Russia? He won't be prepared. You Luongo homers need to relax.
Where was Iginla? 4th line again. Better yet, where were Marleau and Thornton? Doing what they always do, disappearing in big games. Pronger and Niedermayer didn't look good either, or Doughty for that matter. These guys really have to step it up, and playing Germany is the chance to do it.

Honestly those boneheaded plays cost us 2-3 goals (baseball + wild pokecheck + empty net). Yes he made some spectacular saves, but if you put Luongo or Fleury in net it MIGHT have been better. This is the Olympics, not the Playoffs, every game from now on is game 7, no time to practice stick handling.
