TimberWolf Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Really... 'far more complete games in a row'? Got evidence of that? How many Rinne games have you watched? If Lu is so inconsistent, how is it he could win the Jennings andhave virtually identical stats to Rinne's in both GAA and save % last season (second and third best in the league respectively)? And you seem to have forgotten the amazing win streaks Lu put together last season. In the finals, Lu got 2 shutouts and played a huge part in the third victory. He did his part. He did not 'take two games off''. Any astute fan would see that the whole team broke down in those games. No goals. No defense. No special teams. No support for Lu. No, you're not a horrible fan... just not a very educated one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Hellfish Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Pekka Rinne is washed up. He just isn't the same goalie anymore. This goes back to last season's exit from the playoffs. One man basically owned him (Ryan Kesler). He is supposed to be an elite goalie but he couldn't even beat lousy Luongo in a 7 game series. He could not even help his team past the Canucks when the Preds had the Sedins completely shut down. He's a flopper. He has poor positioning. He is slow. His glove hand is weak, his blocker is weaker, and everyone can see into next Tuesday through his 5-hole. Now this? .750 on 16 shots? Clearly he is terrible. Lindback is ready. We need to trade Pekka Rinne for a 2nd rate player while he has any value. Pekka Rinne is garbage and the Predators should give up on him. They will never win a cup with him. He is not a playoff performer. He is mentally weak. He crumbles under pressure. Next time I go to a game that Pekka Rinne gets scored on (even if they are good goals) I will boo him mercilessly. He deserves it and it will make his job harder. Which is what I want to do. I HATE him and I want him to do poorly so that I will feel better about myself and my accurate judgements of his poor play.

yes we can nucks Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 You have forgotten the meltdowns, collapses and inconsistency of the last years as well. Cherry pick the good games and there was no doubt he was good, but Rinne also had a great season (also finalist) and in front of a worse team (much worse) If Lu gets all the credit for the wins and Jennings, then he gets the blame for the losses when he's terrible in net. You can't have it both ways. I will admit Lu can be good but if you can't admit Lu melts down and can be terrible, then you are not watching with your brain turned on.

Stefan Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 My favourite part of this thread was the original post. Then it quickly became the morons who COMPLETELY missed the point. One guy even suggested he understood it was sarcasm, but suggested it should still go to the preds board. No dude. No. It's a mock at people who suffer from amnesia when it comes to luongo. It's for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPS Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah they should trade away Rinne. With him the Preds will never make the playoffs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPS Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 But it's not, because it misses the point completely. People didn't boo Luongo because he let in 4 goals against New York. They booed him because he's collapsed in the playoffs 3 years in a row. The NY game just gave people an opportunity to show their frustration. And people were Loooing again in the Nashville game. The city hasn't turned on him as much as it might seem from reading CDC. That Bronx cheer was jet letting Luongo know that that kind of play isn't OK, and that he needs to step it up. It's like when your parents would yell at you as a kid. They still loved you, but you were probably acting like an asshat and deserved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
