It isn't Lu's fault he makes as much money he does. Who the fuck would turn down an offer of 5+ million if it was offered to them. The reason he hasn't stolen a game is because he hasn't really had to. And he hasn't had to make as many miraculous saves like he did when he played for a far inferior Canuck team in the past.
Looking at the top 10 highest paid goalies in the NHL, how many would you actually want in net instead of Lu? Miller Ward and Lundy are great goalies, but only Ward has won a cup, ONCE. Ever since then what has he done? What have any of those goalies done? Nothing. Don't get me wrong, they are all great goalies, but they still haven't done what Lu has done, except Ward. They are great goalies on mediocre-shit teams, and they are all golfing right now. So what does that really say?
Lu made keys saves that you could say "stole" games 1, 2, 3 from Chicago. Those games were a lot closer than most fans think. Game 7 he let in ONE goal. Sure teh Nucks outplayed the Hawks, but he made key saves, especially that PK in OT.
Goals fucking go in, in the game of hockey. It's the god damn playoffs, and the speed of the game is much higher and there are higher chance of mistakes because of increased forecheck and pressure. Hockey players, last I checked were human beings, and human beings make mistakes. If sports were all black and white, where the better team on paper wins all the time, do you think bookies would still be in existence?
Niemi is 1-2 this conference, and has been lit up like a xmas tree in all 3rd periods, this series... Lu is 2-1 and game 3 is the only game he let in more than 3 goals. I wouldn't blame any of the goals on him. Even if you say/think the 4th goal was weak.. they were killing a 5 on fucking 3, and if you know what it is like for the pk unit and the goalie on a 5 on 3, you know you are always moving laterally following the puck and because of that you get tired, so your reaction time isn't quite as fast!
