The better team lost the game...because of a bad bounce and a borderline call.
Lu going down early...well..watch the play..that was quite the tic tac toe passing play you expect from a top team. Its plays like that which will have your goalie guessing who's gonna shoot/pass

Yep. As a goalie, you can't assume there's going to be a "tac" pass to a third shooter, so he needed to go down for the one-timer that was there. The fact that Boyle stopped the puck put Lu in a tough spot because he was likely assuming that "toe" pass was going to be one-timed, which is why he slid over in desperation.
Game wasn't his fault by any means.

Good. He looks capable. With Lu locked in at least for this season, he gets to take a back seat learning from one of the better goalies in the league (both on and off the ice).
If Lu decided to bolt after this season for some reason or another, then at least you have Lack to hold things over either temporarily or permanently. Last time I checked, there aren't many top-flight goalies (either in the league or prospects) that teams are willing to let go.
