From what most people say or seem to THINK... luongo either plays good or bad.. ie the canucks either win or lose (for the most part)... so when someone says something like "it depends which luongo shows up) I would assume they mean if luongo plays either horrible or good/great.
That is how I read it as.. So the onus is on him if he plays shitty or good.. but if he plays OK and reliable.. we can still win... Just don't let in bad goals and the Canucks are fine.. but with that said.. of all the goals that he let in in games 4 and 5, I can honestly only think of maybe 2 that were his fault. Having the players in front of you that don't do their job or assignments can really make the goalie look bad. odd men rushes and breakaways are not the only thing that says the D and players are not playing well.. There are small assignments in your own zone that can create a whirl wind of hell for a goalie if the team in front of you don't do their individual jobs.
