{allcanada} MALCOLM SUBBAN: CANADIAN GOALTENDERS WILL RISE AGAIN

The Toronto Sun describes how Malcolm Subban has heard all about Canada's supposed issues developing the next wave of world class goaltenders.

Failure to gain gold at the world juniors the past four years and then not win any medal in 2012 caused some fingerpointing towards the pipes. Some have connected the dots to forecast trouble in Sochi and future Olympic games when Canada defends its title in 2014.

But Subban, a first-round pick of the Boston Bruins last year, doesn't see a bad moon rising.

"I think every country is going to have their stint where they have really good goaltending," Subban said Tuesday. "You look at Canada and for so long, we had the best. But it's hard to repeat that every year.

"Alexander Ovechkin wins the Art Ross Trophy, but a player from Canada doesn't win that every year, either. It's the same with goaltending. We'll peak again soon."
