What do you all think? I'm not too sure about the goalies.

[JX252]

John Grahame has been solid here for the past few weeks. He's just come off a nine game win streak, but just had it snapped against Detroit the other night. There was a lot of speculation about him taking over for Nik Khabibulin when he was traded to Chicago, but he's proven himself as the starter, so I definitely think he'll do well on the olympic team.

Dipietro is a decent goaltender too, but he hasn't performed as well as hoped in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see him and how he reacts while playing other olympic teams, because every game there pretty much is a playoff environment too.

As for Robert Esche, I haven't seen him play in awhile, so I can't really say how well he's performed. Do you know which goaltender they'll start, or will it be based on how well each guy performs as the season goes on?

Yea I like John Grahame he is a good goalie, I wish the Bruins still had him.

i don't think USA has a shot. Maybe in the next olympics.

yeah, i'm not impressed with the USA roster. especially goalies... dipietro gave up 6 goals on 16 shots against toronto the other night. interesting to see how he handles the best of canada :uhoh:
on another note... "Prucha>Crosby." wtf?

[Tucker1616]

I cannot believe Leetch didn't make the team, I thought he was a lock. They don't really have any superstar players but still a pretty solid team. If Esche is going to be your starting goalie you'll be in trouble though

[Ulic]

Liles is my man...

Yeah, Svatos>Crosby

[bluesheep]

No one (except MAYBE Russia) has a chance against Canada.
