I don't disagree with everything you're saying but for everything he's done wrong he's done a shit load of stuff right. I don't know if a new coach would make a difference or not but thankfully thats not my decision to make.
On the subject of Luongo, his biggest fault is he makes to much money. If he made 3 million a year nobody would say shit. He never brought his A game in the SCF but he's not the reason we lost, we scored what 8 goals in 7 games?

We gotta give this moot point a rest.
Firstly, it's too much to ask that it takes 5 or more goals to bail out a goalie (we just went through this again with NYR). However, it's reasonable to ask a goalie to keep his GAA at 2 or below; moreso at the SCF when players are expected to be turning in "the best games of their lives"
So really, people aren't ragging on Luongo because they lost. They rag on him because HOW they lost.
Honestly, if they came out losing the SCF but he kept us close and losing by a goal or two max... I guarantee you a lot more people will see it a lot more differently. But that didn't happen and what's worse is the people saw a goalie that didn't care about his 8 goal game, or 5 or 4... and that's what makes people sour about how he lost.
