i'm not trying to take anythign away from thomas but like i said, i'd take luongo on my team anyday.
he might face a lot of shots btu where are the shots coming from? are these shots coming off second chances? he might not have to make very tough saves taht's why i brought up the strong defensive team point. it'd be awfully easy for a goalie to play on a team taht only allows perimeter shots vs a goalie that allows a shit load of 2 on 1s. Althought thomas did make a sick save in toronto. I'd still like to see thomas on another team and see how he does. i'm not 100% convinced that he's viezna good

Yes, I would take Louie long term over Thomas but clearly Thomas is the better goalie so far about 20 games in. Are you really going to argue with a stat line like THIS:

[Vin Diesel]Ask any goalie...any real goalie. It doesn't matter if they're from the perimeter or in your crease. Shots are shots.[/Vin Diesel]
I wouldn't punch any current Canuck in the face...even Bieksa.
I would, however, punch Mark Messier in the face if I ever met him. Or at least tell him "FUCK. YOU." straight in his face since he'd probably still be able to kick my ass in a fight.

Why do you even bother commenting on this? Guaranteed you have not watched a single Boston game this year. Thomas benefits from a good defensive team but there have been countless games this year that he has stolen. So you're not convinced he's Vezina good? News flash, he won one already. Did Lu win one yet?
He lost his job last year because Rask played amazing, the kid was leading the NHL in save % for most of the year. If he was on the Canucks last year it'd be pretty difficult not to start him instead of Lu either.
I dont think he's the first man to be called up. I believe the plan for him is to get his playing legs back and that means if he has to play down int he A and keep scorin like mad, then thats exactly whats gonna happen.
Victor Oreskevich might be the one i can think of..or even shirokov
hosea24hours I got dizzy just watching that bag skate. Finally over. #canucks
