[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ultra Magnus: [QB] "But don't expect [Bowman] to work well with highly-qualified assistants." It's not like he wouldn't have had any with the Olympic Team. I could see him with Robinson as an aide. "Quinn's still a useless git." He's always struck me as the kind of coach who coaches the team his son plays on, and then starts him every single game. He's ruined the Canucks, who only now are resurfacing with the help of Crawford, and after this season, he'll have ruined his Leafs. Ever since he was named coach, he's been playing favorites, and I knew from the minute he was named coach, Patrick Roy wouldn't be given the obvious role of starter, instead it would have equal chance of falling to CuJo. "Although [Brodeur's] puckhandling is a brilliant asset on the big ice." I suppose we can score one for Marty here, over the less-than-obvious benefit of Roy's stick skills. "But Thibault's got zippo experience when it comes to the pressure being on." I wouldn't want Jocelyn there either, but for a young guy like Theodore, I think replacing Belfour in the stands with Jose in the stands would, at the very least, let the kid see what the big time is like. "Which brings us to St. Patrick...He's the best goalie in the world, but he's also an arrogant asshole." Which is why he's been my favorite goalie since I was six. Hell, he's been my favorite player since I was six. I have Montreal Home & Away Jerseys with #33 on them. Same goes with Colorado. I just got their alternate with #33 last month. I have about a thousand hockey cards of the guy, and although I've stopped being utterly fanatic, I still think he's the best. Ever. He's not arrogant without reason, and when the Canadian squad was so liberal with the guarateed spots of playes like oft-injured Lemieux and Kariya, when they said "Okay, you're on the team. No need to tryout. Go ahead." When they turned around, with Quinn wanting to increase the stock of his No. #1 Unrestricted Free Agent, and said "Well, with the goalies, let's see who has the hot hand." I think Roy's mentality was "Hey, I'm the best big game goaltender ever, I don't need to tryout, nor do I want to.". Ever since they guaranteed a spot to a guy like Fleury and not to the best pressure goalie in the sport (The Olympics are only *slightly* like a playoff), I've been rooting for Germany, first and Sweden second. Although the US has the power. Wow. [/QB][/QUOTE]
