Luongo looks so solid once again. Although what's with these last two games. Didn't really feel that exciting to me.

maybe im not as blind as you 28, but when i see things like the way plays develop, defensive play, physicality, Luongo's play
when almost every area that was considered "weak" has improved to a point of noticeable change of style/direction, i would consider that an improvement.
it's 2 games, but they are all positive signs

Considering our upgrades
bottom 6 is ALOT better.
-Malhotra is a faceoff machine-
-Torres (when he moves down here eventually) is sandpaper
-Schaffer looks decent.
Definitely not a soft bottom 6 like previous years.
Looking at our D is exciting.
-Ehroff seems to have landed an extra gear. Hes flying out there.
-Edler is definitely channeling Chris Pronger's brute physicality.
-new FAs ballard and hamhuis look great
-Alberts is not the clown he was in the previous playoffs
-Bieksa. Looks like shit. But he'll give a great return once (if) Salo returns. Trade bait someone will bite.

Good to see Louie still playing solid. He's helping me fix Hiller's horrible week -_-

Another big game by Lu, seems like a different player without the pressures of been the captain of the team. Hopefully we get the win vs. the Ducks and not hand them their first win of the season.

Was at the game, The edler goal was hard to swallow. Surprised there were very little penalties but overall good game.

Torres is playing the opposite of what i expected. He's passing the puck, not hitting anyone... he needs to turn into that annoying prick i hated when he was in Edmonton.

New goalie coach is making a huge difference.

Unfortunately Ian Clark only worked with Lui sporadically because of his own goalie school business so that's why you see ups and downs with his performance through out the season.
Just my speculation.

Luongo's movements seem so efficient.
He almost looks like he's in slow motion,
yet quick enough to block everything.
Making everything look so easy... even his desperation saves.

He's such a big goalie it'd be more beneficial for him to play deeper so he can move side to side easier. I saw so many goals last year where the other team had a wide open net because he challenged so far out.

Luongo's game looks smooth because he's not trying to do everything. The goalie and defense is one package.. they need to coordinate and that's what coaching is for.
if you play deep, you make sure the players in front of you are taking shooting lanes and pressuring shooters so they don't have time to pick you apart.
last yr, too many players tried to be heroes playing sliding goalie instead of clearing rebounds. let's hope they fix that.

He's a goalie, he tries to stop the puck, period. He's a big guy so he can afford to play deep, he also lost 10 pounds this summer so he is a bit quicker.
