Not bashing on Luongo, but the way he played last night is not different than when he played in the playoffs. He handles the puck and plays it to an area where he shouldn't. 9 times out of 10, like a chick, gets on his knees and ends up lying down with his legs in the air.
But he wasn't the only the one that didn't play well. On the GWG, I have no clue what Juice was doing chasing the guy with the puck at the top of the faceoff circle when he is the right D man. Or going for a skate when he and JVR came around the net.
For many years, the Nuck's have been near the top in penalties. Last year they had 348 minor penaties. League top was at 374 minors and minimum was 292 by Boston.
Year before that, the Nucks had 380 minor penalties when league top was at 402 and minimum was 264.
Now, if only they broke them down to how many minor penalties the Nucks had while they were on the PP. I remember them doing that quite a bit last year.
