Riviera82 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So according to the Luongo fanatics, Luongo isnt responsible for a single goal he lets in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Agree, but to be honest everyone else on the team falls into that category as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not everybody else plays the most important position on the team and are supposedly elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 pretty sure scoring goals is just as important as keeping them out, and our supposedly elite players up front did a pretty poor job of that as well in the finals. the whole team sucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus099 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 No the goalie is the most important, in my adult league we had a bad goalie and couldn't win a game, new goalie comes in and we finish first. A bad goal just deflates the team. One or two bad players on the team can't do that to you. Edit: and we are not going to trade the whole team, if we did and got team Canada for them we'd be fine with Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 People whine back on forth here like they can solely place the blame on one player or another. Stupid. ALL PARTS OF THE CANUCKS GAME CAN AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. Luongo sucked in Boston and against LA. Yes. The offense has managed 1.33 GOALS A GAME over the last two series. Forget reason though. People would rather just play the blame game all day long and cry like little girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudson bay rules Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 ...And that has to do with precisely what?lol.-Maybe Thomas's agent needs to go for a beer with Lou's and learn the art of bargaining ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus099 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Maybe he was expected to be the best goaltender in the world and paid like one but he didn't play like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson bay rules Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 lol do you know how many goalies have a higher cap hit then Luongo? And the only one I would consider better than him is Lundqvist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 He has, but that's just part of being human. That's the problem with goaltenders, if they're hot at the right moment, their team wins the cup. If not, they're put under a glaring spotlight, often to stand alone. People forget that the goaltender is the last line in defense....that he doesn't get to skate out and stop the play before a scoring chance happens. So it's a do or die thing and you won't stop every goal. Sometimes it all unravels and Lu's had that happen, but I don't place the blame solely on him. And I'll miss him. The guy who said consistent? Actually, you can be consistent all season long and, come playoffs, if you have a cold streak it's game over. Consistent doesn't equal perfection and I think you're seeking perfection.

Primus099 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 do you really think that the guys in the locker room and the players agents compare cap hits? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Fever Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I still don't quite understand how Louie takes all the heat for the meltdown against Boston.. The Sedin's and everyone else somehow comes out smelling like roses, it was just as much their fault as his. I believe he got 2 shutouts in those finals, and yes he had a 2 game lead to close it out and didn't get it done. In saying this i didn't see the Sedin's turn into any scoring machines then either, yeah the Reffing was horrible but that's no excuse. The key to the Canucks success is staying healthy, if they can do this and have some decent reffing in the playoffs, they can win it all. There's probably only 4 or 5 teams that have a possiblity of beating them in the playoffs if their healthy. So everyone just say your prayers for a low injury season and let the chips fall where they may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
