Luongo is playing in his home rink and is a better fit for Canada right now then the wondering, often thinking he's defensemen Brodeur.

No surprise Luongo will get the nod from here on out. Brodeur is certainly one of the All Time greats but many believe has seen his better days and maybe shouldn't have been picked for the back-up role.

USA!

jwmiller - I agree, Broduer really got the scapegoat treatment after that loss. No one on that team played really well the whole game and Miller was just plain hot.

Harvey - I can understand getting Luongo in net after that loss. It's a psychological thing. It's like when a team changes goalies after 4 goals where the goalie gets hung out to dry. It's not his fault, but the team needs some type of change. They both top notch goalies. You can't go wrong, really.

Yeah, Weber has a cannon. Watching the replay, it barely missed a guy who went down to block the shot. I'm sure he's happy it missed him after seeing how hard the shot was.

Canada finally decided to play a hockey game last night. I'm hoping for a USA-Canada Gold Medal game. That rematch would be awesome.

Be careful what you wish for. I would rather play Russia or Sweden myself. Then again we might not even make the gold medal game, lots or work left to get there.

I would agree that Brodeur played fine, but when Canada loses to the US they have to blame someone. In my eyes the US won because we out worked Canada, got some puck luck, and had a very good goalie in nets.

As far as this Broduer talk goes. Did he play great? NO. He played pretty good. Doesnt really matter when you let in 5 out of 25. The thing with Broduer is, he is the only goalie in the league that plays the puck like he does. Team Canada defense need to know this.... when Marty gets the puck or goes for it. Get open. Do not skate towards him. When they skated towards him. What happened? Marty had no one to pass to. And now the goalie and the 2 two defense are all bottled up, making for a pretty good scoring chance from the point.

Why do you think Paul Martin was picked for the team. He knows how to play in front of Broduer. Watch a devils game. Broduer is a 3rd dman out there.

To be honest, if the team learns how to play with Broduer better, I say put him back in. He has cups, and is awesome in the clutch.

Neither of their goalies were playing all that good going into the tourny.

Go USA, a couple of awesome goalies going head to head today. And USA, please dont look past your competition today. That is what is good about being an underdog. You usually play one game at a time.

USAs second goal was one that Brodeur should have got.. It was a shot on the ice from the point thru traffic that just slid under his pad and found the bottom corner of the net

You have to give Rafalski credit for that on ice "pass shot" that got under Brodeur...only if he was a Butterfly style goaltender, that one would've been stopped IMO

Brodeur only got scored on 4 times... You don't count empty netters against a goalie or his GAA.

Also, i don't think Paul Martin would have been picked for the team SOLELY because he "knows how to play" with Brodeur, but I do agree with what your saying how the defensemen have to know how to play with their goalie. Paul Martin is an American and I don't really know what your saying by your comment about him, but I don't think a player is ever selected for a team because he played with the goalie in the reg season. Regardless, Marty is Canadian and Martin is American so they wouldn't ever be on the same team.

Brodeur has been playing professionally for 19 years, and I'd say that almost anyone who has played in the league in the past 2 decades (whether it be with or against Marty) knows how aggressive Marty is with playing the puck in his own zone.

I'm a little confused over the Paul Martin comment, what difference would it make that he know how to play in front of Brodeur, Paul would have been on the US team.

The USA would have shot different on a butterfly goalie, so it doesn't really matter.

No goal by .01 of a second.

For those that cannot watch, the puck was shot at the Switz goalie and it bounced over his shoulder and into the back of the net, but it was a tenth of a second late.

End of 2 0-0.

Shots on goal after 2,

USA 32

Switz-about 8

No shots on goal after 5 penatlies for both theams combined.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
