Lu, the Sedins and the PK better wake up, I just put $1,000 on the Canucks to win the series last night. My friend put up $1,500 that the Kings would win, I had to take the +500 on the supposed "better" team, she voluntarily spotted me the +500 just cause the Kings are up a game.

In terms of out playing the other goalie, even in olympics, I'm not 100% sure on that.
With a super team in front of him, any mediocre goalie could have looked awesome.
Remember Jonas Hiller from the Swiss team?
He was playing good, too bad he didn't have team Canada in front of him though.
I don't think Luongo's a bad goalie...
but he's just not playing at a level anywhere near what he is expected to be at.
And other mediocre goalies are bringing their game to a new level.
So if other goalies are doing it, why can't Lu? That's the frustration fans are dealing with. | Quote:

Instead of saying "overrated" you said "he's just not playing at a level anywhere near what he is expected to be at". It has the same meaning in the end

Vancouver is a goalie graveyard because idiot fans put so much emphasis on the position that even very good goalies like Lu get crushed under unrealistic expectations, his second highest career total wins is met with "start raycroft Tom because we ain't winning with Lu"
so let's dump Lu and pick up a kipper or Nabokov at a cheaper price, goalies like that will be eaten alive here, not to mention if they don't automatically perform better than Lu they will be considered failures as well
the only situation that might work short term is a rookie playing over his head, but as soon as they falter they will be jumped on as well, so wtf are the nucks to do? I don't think well ever be able to win a cup the way this city sees the team
also I have a HUGE beef with people who say "oh he's getting paid 7 million, he ain't worth 7"
first off why the fuck as a fan are you concerned with what he gets paid annually? A fans -only- concern should be cap hit, period
Lu makes what? 10 mill the first year of his new deal? But his cap hit is only 5.5 or w/e base your opinion on the fucking cap hit not the salary, it's not like your writing his cheques. Posted via RS Mobile |

Goaltending issue ? | Niemi has been playing fine, except for that 1 goal in game 1. The Hawks offense has disappeared and people underestimate how good a defense of Weber, Suter and Hamhuis are. Rinne has probably been the best goaltender of the playoffs so far as well, he's been a wall.

If we excluding the gold medal, luongo is still a goalie brought us 49 winning game in regular season when the teams is missing few players here and there for a great amount of time.
so question if he is not playing the way expected, why not question the blueline in front of him is playing like shit too?
If willie was only out few weeks, can you say we might even have a 55+ winning game ? and a sweep at LA in the first round ?
Luongo has been playin like shit, but everyone has ups and downs and this happend to be his down time. Give it a break and lets hope he bounce back
We signed him with big money but thats how we wanted before, please dont forget 99% of the fans were so happy when Luongo extended the contract with the canucks

All goalies go through a slump, it's the great ones who come out on top. Give Lu some time - It's like his bandwagon has an escalator it's so easy for people to get on / off.

Posted via RS Mobile | If I were a season ticket holder, I would see myself as a shareholder of the Canucks. In effect, I would be writing his cheques because my money would be going towards the salaries of the team. Therefore, I would consider my opinion to have some weight.
You are right to say that the city throws its goalies under buses when the team starts playing poorly. Montreal is in the same position - they will never win another cup until another St. Patrick comes along (and eventually, they will even throw him out of town.)

I'd totally take that action, except none of my friends will bet against the 'Nucks.

| Yeah, that PK played so fucking good right? Didn't kill one PP. But let's blame it all on Luongo, I mean, he's making 7 MILLLL!!! HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP PUCKS WITH HIS EYES CLOSED@!!!! Or while he's screened by two Kings players and his own defensemen....

Don Cherry, who knows a lot more about hockey than any of you guys just said Loungo should NOT be captain (no shit). This is what I said at the start of the season? Damn Vancouver and always being 'different'.
Anyway, I hope he has good game tonight (since AV doesn't have the balls to start Rayzor) and we win. We shall see...

Don Cherry is also one hell of a shit disturber.
But thinking back, yeah it wasn't the greatest idea. The goalie has other stuff to worry about other than being the "captain". Sure, he can be a vocal leader in the locker room, but give a player the C.
