So the 5 on 3 that the Canucks killed in game 3 wasn't because Lu could stop anything right? All you idiots who look only at the score board need to be shot. Schneider let in 3 of 17 shots... or something along those lines... That isn't exactly great stats... Yes he made some key saves, but his save % wasn't ideal, especially for playoffs. The Canucks in general have to tighten it up, they have let in 3+ goals in 3 straight games. They didn't do that at all in the regular season.
Goalies don't get shutouts because they're the only player on the team that plays well/ don't get lucky at times
Goalies don't get shelled because they're the only BAD player on the team/ don't get unlucky at times.
You shouldn't need exceptional goaltending to win in the playoffs.. Look at Niemi last year. He didn't play great. Even though everyone thinks he was superb, just because the Hawks kept winning... Look at philly.. they forced a game 7 and they have not had ONE goalie play ONE good game. the Canucks are making Crawford look good. He is good and has been good, but nothign excpetional. He got lucky when Burrows hit that post, and so far all the tips have missed the net, and the shots from the point have hit him square.
In a 7 game series, the best team will win. if the Canucks didn't let up in game 4 and 5, it would be over. They cam out gunning last night, and they got somewhat unlucky. It happens. You won't get bad luck all series long, but they put themselves into a situation where they had one unlucky game and now it forced them to a do or die fate.
