Tm085 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 At least Schneider and Lack are less likely to pull a choke job against Chicago, and Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobHo Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Guys-Luongo is a great goalie. Why hasn't he been doing so well lately? Is it because of a mental breakdown? If so, we as Canucks fans should SUPPORT him, not insult him. Don't you want Lou to get better? We as the Canucks fans can greatly impact our team. Canucks fans should stick with their team from beginning to end. And right now, Luongo needs a good confidence boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renelsisc Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I agree, that fans are partly to be blamed for this. But he's a goalie, he KNOWS that he's always going to be in the spotlight. If he didn't like it, maybe he should've chosen a different position. He cracked under the pressure, and now became a headcase. It's about mental toughness. Successful teams, successful people, will need this in life. It's not just one person. Our whole TEAM lacks mental toughness. But the goalie should be the strongest in this aspect of the game because he's the last line of defense. He's the general. Your general falls, your unit crumbles with it. It's just sad that we are even comparing him with the likes of said list....this shouldn't even have come up in discussions, and yet, here we are.

Vigneault's Stache Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 and each and every one of those goalies got treated better then luongo??? does that make sence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks.brad Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 hey...cloutier and essensa were pretty good. cloutier was loved by all until lidstrom blasted one from center ice. people forget cloutier had 3 30 win season and held some shutout record before luongo...playing on a not so strong defensive canuck team. cloutier only got the reputation of a bad goalie after that one goal...luongo gets his bad rep after blowing it against chicago twice (almost 3) and boston.

Raph Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Kirk McLean wasn't THAT good. Good playoff goaltender who was pretty clutch and had one amazing run but it's not like he was a superstar goalie. Luongo is a much better goaltender. And if you want to talk about what McLean did for this team versus what Luongo did, what game did Kirk lose in again? And I'm a huge McLean fan ps. Luongo has brought more to this team than any goaltender in the past ever has. Guys like Richard Brodeur and Kirk McLean gave this team a lot of great memories...but Luongo has made this team into an regular season force. He's had some bad playoff series, some really bad ones but he's also had some excellent series (Anaheim for example). Everyone needs to stop freaking out. Who actually wasn't expecting this kind of start, honestly? Pull your head outta yer arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Wtf is up with these threads? Why can't the mods combine them? Ok, maybe there wouldn't be so many hate threads on luongo if luongo lovers didn't continue posting their love notes online.....and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggins Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I couldn't agree with you more. Jeering and criticizing our own goalie will get us nowhere. As fans, we should want him to perform his best every game and this can't happen unless we support him and the team. The true fans should support the team no matter what - even if they are not playing so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I for one, support Luongo, & I hope I am not the only one!! I critique his play watching him play, the whole flopping thing & staying down after flopping needs to be changed, & maybe there should be specific practices where he only focuses on breakaway/shootouts. the list could go on but I still support this guy. No way do I want to trade him, not after he had a career year here last year, not after he won the Jennings trophy, or took us to game 7 of the freaking Stanley Cup Finals. It's only October & we supposedly know that, (or people just plain forget), he has rough Octobers. It's only October!! I believe the Canucks when they say they listen only to each other & the organization, & not the armchair critics. I have faith in our team. Our team.

B_a_M Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 schneider let in 3 goals on 20 shots in game 6 against chicago, Luongo came in and allowed 1 goal on 13 losing in overtime. Luongo then stopped 31 of 32 in game 7, u mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
