I think the main point is "single-handedly". Luongo has yet to be the player that has taken over a game. Others, like Kessler, or the third line, have taken over a game. |
only time luongo has stolen a game was against dallas, his first year here in the playoffs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,-********-, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . / ;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;;\ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |;:;:;:;:;:;:;:,-----\ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |;:;"|||||||~\\\\\\\\\| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ^\;: \||||-" ,,,""--" | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\";:;:;:;:;:----;:;:;| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,,,,,--"-,;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;/|""-, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,,--"""|||||||||",;;""-------";: |||||||""--,,,, ,---, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,-"||||||||||||||||"""--\;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;/||||||||||||||||\ --,,;:"-,,, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .,-"||||||||||||||||||||||||||||""-,;:;:;,-"||||||||||||||||||| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .,,-", ;-",-""-,;"-, . . . . . . . . . . . . . /||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\;:;|||||||| ||||||||||||||| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,-";,-" . . . ,,----,, ",;",;;"-,|||""-, . . . . . . . . . . ,"|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||\|||||| |||||||||||||||||||\ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .,";:;:;"----""";:;:;:;:,) .

we're not gonna trade luongo anytime soon, learn to deal with it and hope that him and the rest of the team play strong against the sharks and whoever wins the east and take the prize home simple as that |
Man there are so many experts here! Cmon, how about just cheering for tomorrow's game... Go Canucks go |
The San Jose Sharks had 11 power plays. The score was only 4-3. It would have been 7-3 if it weren't for Luongo. |

I've always thought luongo was overrated. A good goalie for sure, but overrated. With that said, I have no hate against the guy or anything. I do wish he would stop letting in those five-hole goals, flopping around whenever there's a scramble in front and letting in those "trickler" goals, and finally losing his stick every fuckin poke check. Other than that, he's not bad. lol |

It isn't Lu's fault he makes as much money he does. Who the fuck would turn down an offer of 5+ million if it was offered to them. The reason he hasn't stolen a game is because he hasn't really had to. And he hasn't had to make as many miraculous saves like he did when he played for a far inferior Canuck team in the past. Looking at the top 10 highest paid goalies in the NHL, how many would you actually want in net instead of Lu? Miller Ward and Lundy are great goalies, but only Ward has won a cup, ONCE. Ever since then what has he done? What have any of those goalies done? Nothing. Don't get me wrong, they are all great goalies, but they still haven't done what Lu has done, except Ward. They are great goalies on mediocre-shit teams, and they are all golfing right now. So what does that really say? Lu made keys saves that you could say "stole" games 1, 2, 3 from Chicago. Those games were a lot closer than most fans think. Game 7 he let in ONE goal. Sure teh Nucks outplayed the Hawks, but he made key saves, especially that PK in OT. Goals fucking go in, in the game of hockey. It's the god damn playoffs, and the speed of the game is much higher and there are higher chance of mistakes because of increased forecheck and pressure. Hockey players, last I checked were human beings, and human beings make mistakes. If sports were all black and white, where the better team on paper wins all the time, do you think bookies would still be in existence? Niemi is 1-2 this conference, and has been lit up like a xmas tree in all 3rd periods, this series... Lu is 2-1 and game 3 is the only game he let in more than 3 goals. I wouldn't blame any of the goals on him. Even if you say/think the 4th goal was weak.. they were killing a 5 on fucking 3, and if you know what it is like for the pk unit and the goalie on a 5 on 3, you know you are always moving laterally following the puck and because of that you get tired, so your reaction time isn't quite as fast! |
^ Exactly ! Everyone needs to stop criticizing & just enjoy the god damn run. Wish I could thank you 100x times. |

I've only ever made one point about Luongo, not even a criticism of his play, but a point about the results so far. I am willing to bet you didn't bother to notice that, and didn't reply to it. Just blindly cheer them on and hope for the best I guess. |
Quote:
What is the point of saying if Lu hadn't let in that 4th goal that the game would have been tied after the 5 on 3. If the 4th goal never happened then it is possible the 5 on 3 might not have happened and the game could have ended at 3 - 1 for SJ. Too many what ifs to make comments like that. |

Poor Ballard man, I've always liked him since we acquired him. He seems like a good teammate and person, and his play has always been up there. He's a much better player than Rome, and if AV didn't have such a hard on for Rome he would likely have played the entirety of the playoffs. Here's hoping for him having a good game provided he plays tomorrow! |

If you're never going to put the blame on him, who does it fall under? His highly touted defensive corp, or maybe his all star forwards that can buy 3 goals per game; or how about a Selke calibre shut down line for 2 years running. Seriously, the only thing better than what Luongo has in front of him is a Team Canada roster where Sidney Crosby is a plug and Pronger as a depth defensemen. As a longstanding Canuck fan, there's nothing more disheartening than to see your team get repeatedly thrown under the bus just because 1 player seems like he should be exempt from criticism. |

BTW, G2 didn't call you an idiot, he said your comment was idiotic. There's a subtle but distinct difference. But you know, way to use that to duck his point - I'd say that was a key save right there. Stole the game and everything. :sleepingzz: |
Quote:
And yes, even our highly touted defencemen's can be blamed. Edler and Ehrhoff had some noticeable bad games in both Chicago AND Nashville. In 2007, it was all on Luongo. We went as far as Luongo playing like a god and stopping everything. But now we have a good team with many different players contributing and stepping up each game when others have gone quiet. We are so deep on D that we have 9 defencemen's that can step in and play well. We don't need to rely on Lu alone. Lets not forget the motto "play as a team, lose as a team." This year it feels like it has finally sunk into the heads of the players and they are playing as a collective bunch. |
No goalies that are left right now are stealing any games. Roloson got pulled today, and then Thomas proceeded to get lit up for the loss. Niemi is making some good saves and then blowing the lead in the 3rd everytime it seems. Let's face it, the cup very well may not be won because one goalie was playing awesome. |
