He is going to play every game in the Olympics. It makes no sense to invite players that have no chance to play.

I have no hatred for the Habs. I can’t hate a franchise that hasn’t been relevant since the mid 90’s. And the guy has started more than 40 games in a season once. What a workhorse lol.

I read the story twice to see if I missed something.
I didn’t, at no time did you clearly state who the three guys are.
You asked a question if comfort level and tossed two names into the story.
Poor writing.

Good for the Avs as it will only motivate Blackwood to prove them wrong!!!!

It’s the only logical explanation. He’s clearly better than Hill & what hockey Canada’s obsession is with Sam Montembault, god only knows. He’s barely an NHL starter.

In fact, if I was going up against a team that had Binnington, Hill, and Montembeault as their goalie battery, and my team had Blackwood, Thompson, and Kuemper, I would assume my team would mop the floor with the other in that competition. I would actually argue the latter three aren’t just better than the former three, they’re a considerable step above them. Very puzzling by Team Canada, especially for what’s already their weakest link by a wide margin.
