As for the soft goal, they happen. They suck, but they happen. Lu just had to have the paddle down and he didn't. Shit happens. Overall he had an outstanding game... and right about now I'd be blaming the rest of the team for not potting another goal or two for insurance. Which brings me to my 3rd point:
Rinne... what can you say? Some of those saves were unbelievable. Sometimes goalies steal a game for the team, Rinne did that last night.
Luongo, Kes, Burr and the D need to keep playing as they are. If the Sedins continue to fail to produce, they at least need to show everyone they give a shit and really pick up the effort level. I hope AV's move last night (making Kes' line #1) gives them some incentive, which apparently they need... true leaders, however, do not.

Also, if you are going to blame a goalie for losing you the game for giving up 1 goal in regulation, or 2 goals in 44 shots, you as a team are not playing well enough to win. I am pretty sure Philly would have given anything for Lu's performance last night, lol
