Following the Canucks this long I'm at ease with Lu in even when he craps up. I'd be worried if the goalie has to constantly bail out the team just so they can scrape a win together. With Lu, he compliments the team. He's an expensive 10 million dollar compliment, but fact remains he's the best goalie the Canucks have ever had. The owners and management was willing to pony up so what's done is done.
Nobody wants to have to be bailed out by their goalie. But when it NEVER happens, it's kind of an issue. We don't want to be reminded of the Cloutier days, when Marc Crawford could just press the Goal Button they seemed to have so they could win games 6-5 or 5-4.
