Oh ya definitely forgot Miller!

All I'm trying to say is that there just isn't that many elite goaltenders in the league. When Nonis built this team he stated he was building from the goal out. He got the Canucks a franchise goaltender and started his build from there. Gillis came in and basically just remixed Nonis' plan by replacing our D with more quicker puck moving dmen.

The Canucks play a very structured style. That bodes well for a positional goalie like Luongo. The Canucks have the ability to win close games vs good teams when they play this style. I hate to use injuries as in excuse, but the team we saw in games 1 and 2 weren't the same as the other games. Even game 5, I thought the Canucks weren't that great.

When they get away from playing this style, shit really hits the fan.
