You would think that they will thrash Germany and then it will become even tougher to pull Luongo in favor of going back to Marty. Unless he plays poorly, he's his show to lose.

i'm not saying it's similar based on the talent of the goalies who were pulled then and now, and on who they're replacing. i'm saying it could have similar results and is a knee jerk reaction, just like that was back then. the russian coach was mad, and acted in anger. luongo obviously is skilled, else they wouldn't have chosen him for the team.
