or is that hype?

I just looked up his stats on wiki... seemed like he was a pretty good goalie in the early 90s (before I started watching hockey)

So just asking, Kirk McLean better than Luongo all time?
McLean had a mediocre season in '94 (sub-0.500, I believe) but was fucking ridiculous in the playoffs.

He had a Vezina nomination early but was never an amazing goaltender. But then again, the Canucks weren't a very good team at the time...they just played beyond their pay grade.
