DooBie604 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Loungo beats Kipper in almost every single category and this includes his years stuck on Florida in a team worse than Calgary. For those who think his contract is a problem need a head check and take a look at the ridiculous contracts thrown out at other goalies. Loungo doesn't have to play all the years left on his contract, he can get bought out near the tail end. His contract is front loaded so it would barely cost anything to buy him out and even in the later years, he would be an excellent mentor for any young goaltender.

Mustapha Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I don't know if the Flames have the balls to trade Kiprusoff. There are other skilled goalies out there, and some of them might just be younger and cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 How many olympic gold medals has Kiprusoft won and how many has Luongo won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 In October of this year Kipper turns 36. Luongo is more than 3 years younger. Kipperusoff is running out of good years, especially considering he plays the most games of any player in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm085 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Olympics medals are something that is meaningless in the NHL. To answer your question 0 and 1. Lets take a look at the rosters of Canada and Finland. Besides Selanne not a single player of Finland's roster would have made Team Canada. edit: Well maybe Mikko Koivu and Tuomo Ruutu might have made Team Canada. Goaltenders Niklas Bäckström, Minnesota Wild (NHL) Miikka Kiprusoff, Calgary Flames (NHL) Antero Niittymäki, Tampa Bay Lightning (NHL) Defensemen Lasse Kukkonen, Avangard Omsk (KHL) Sami Lepistö, Phoenix Coyotes (NHL) Toni Lydman, Buffalo Sabres (NHL) Janne Niskala, Frölunda (SEL) Joni Pitkänen, Carolina Hurricanes (NHL) Sami Salo, Vancouver Canucks (NHL) Kimmo Timonen, Philadelphia Flyers (NHL) Forwards Valtteri Filppula, Detroit Red Wings (NHL) Niklas Hagman, Calgary Flames (NHL) Jarkko Immonen, Ak Bars Kazan (KHL) Olli Jokinen, New York Rangers (NHL) Niko Kapanen, Ak Bars Kazan (KHL) Mikko Koivu, Minnesota Wild (NHL) Saku Koivu, Anaheim Ducks (NHL) Jere Lehtinen, Dallas Stars (NHL) Antti Miettinen, Minnesota Wild (NHL) Ville Peltonen, Dinamo Minsk (KHL) Jarkko Ruutu, Ottawa Senators (NHL) Tuomo Ruutu, Carolina Hurricanes (NHL) Teemu Selänne, Anaheim Ducks (NHL) VS GoaltendersMartin Brodeur, 37 (New Jersey Devils)Roberto Luongo, 30 (Vancouver Canucks)Marc-Andre Fleury, 25 (Pittsburgh Penguins) DefenseScott Niedermayer, 36 (Anaheim Ducks)Chris Pronger, 35 (Philadelphia Flyers)Shea Weber, 24 (Nashville Predators)Drew Doughty, 20 (Los Angeles Kings)Duncan Keith 26 (Chicago Blackhawks)Dan Boyle, 33 (San Jose Sharks)Brent Seabrook, 24 (Chicago Blackhawks) ForwardsSidney Crosby, 21 (Pittsburgh Penguins)Rick Nash, 25 (Columbus Blue Jackets)Jarome Iginla, 32 (Calgary Flames)Mike Richards, 25 (Philadelphia Flyers)Joe Thornton, 30 (San Jose Sharks)Patrick Marleau, 30 (San Jose Sharks)Ryan Getzlaf, 24 (Anaheim Ducks)Brenden Morrow, 31 (Dallas Stars)Corey Perry, 24 (Anaheim Ducks)Dany Heatley, 29 (San Jose Sharks)Eric Staal, 25 (Carolina Hurricanes)Patrice Bergeron, 25 (Boston Bruins)Jonathan Toews, 21 (Chicago Blackhawks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown33429 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Kipper can not be compared to Luongo, he's good but not good enough. Vancouver fans put a lot more pressure on the goalie here than do Calgary fans. Kipper would certainly not be able to handle to pressure Vancity fans give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsflash Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Kipper is much better at dealing with these situations. The fans turned on him last year for a while, and he stayed composed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsey Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It depends. If you have a young goalie who is expected to be great in 2-4 years times then go with Kipper. If you have no real goalie in the organisation (including minors) you go with the long term option in Luongo. Financially it may make more sense to go with Kipper. Although his cap hit is higher he has less years, so you can see what he has and if it's worth keeping always re-sign him. With saying all this, doesn't matter which goaltender a team would have, both are great and worthy of taking teams to a long playoff run. Also, without a good team in front of them, it doesn't really matter who is in net. Example this year's playoffs for the Canucks. Team in front didn't play so nothing Luongo or Schnieder did would help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 The homers on this board make me laugh, hence why I hardly ever post. The argument that "Luongo won us gold" should not be a resepected. He let in the tying goal with less than 30 seconds left? Yes, they were crashing the creas and the D should have boxed the US out but LOU was also flopping around like a dead whale like he always does. He finished the tournament with the second highest GAA, and one of the worst save percentages. As for the poster who said Kiprusoff hasn't played in many meaningful games in the past 8 years, I'd say the olympics count as meaningful. And yes, I am a diehard 'Nucks fan I just watch the entire league, not one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banned01 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I don't know what statistics you were looking at but according to the IIHF Luongo's sv% was the 5th highest in the tournament (6th if you include goalies that didn't play over 40% of their teams games) and his GAA 3rd LOWEST in the tournament not 2nd HIGHEST. His stats were A LOT better than Kipper's (given that Kipper's team wasn't as good, but Luongo outplayed Martin Brodeur, who is one of the best to play the game, for the spot on Team Canada so "Canada could not have won with any goalie" like so many people claim). Source: http://stats.iihf.co...00_85A_30_0.pdf And if you watch the replay of the game trying goal, you will realize that Luongo deserves as much blame as Weber and Niedermayer does. How can two of the best d-men in the world leave a player (Parise) wide open in front of the net? And...Luongo was sitting upright, he never "flopped like a whale" like you say.

Langdon Algur Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 It could be an interesting off season if Kipper, Luongo and Thomas are all made available for trade Burkie and Yzerman could both end up very happy by October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
