Your argument is somewhat flawed because Team Canada has not resorted to Fleury, Price, and Holtby, they have been the best goalies from Canada in that year. You can't make the claim that Canada doesn't have enough good goalies and then claim that America and Finland do when Canada has more good starting goalies. The US has Hellebuyck, Gibson, and Bishop (maybe Quick too), Finland has Rinne and Rask (Raanta too if you want to count him), Canada has Price, Binnington, Holtby, Hart, Fleury, and Dubnyk (Jarry/Murray too). Canada has no shortage of NHL starters. Canada has many choices for goalies of this team, but in 2022 my bet would be Price, Binnington, and Hart with Fleury in close contention behind them.
and this is the point.
@vr1995 Im saying: those Canadian goalies are very good! But my point is they arent saying "ah who is the most elite goalie right now: we have Tuukka and Pekka!" or "we have Helly and Bishop to lead the crap out of our team with Gibson bringing up the rear". its more like a "well i guess Harts probably our best rn, and then we could go with Price and Holtby, but they are a little old and falling off. Or we can go with Binner or Murray, but like they might not actually be anything special"
Its a much different debate.
Ill equte it to: Penguings: "damn who do want as our first line Center? We can go with the amazing Sid the Kid, or the also amazing and big boi Geno Malkin" (us and finland). vs The Habs who say "damn who do we want to be our top line Center? We have a Rookie who we took off the board at number 3 (Kotkaniemi), we have the 2nd/3rd line C who we love (Daneault) but isnt actually a 1st liner, or we have the two guys that are actually wingers that we play at Center (Domi / Drouin) as Canada
Does that make sense?
