GHL Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Tremendous is a very strong word. I would say average to great regular season goaltending. In 2007 Luongo was the only reason we made the playoffs, the fact we even won a round was remarkable. Since then we have missed the playoffs once, and been knocked out early three times. Luongo has had one and a half good playoffs in 5 attempts, and I understand it's a team game etc. but his playoffs stats suck other than 2007. He is consistently inconsistent as far as the playoffs go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Tremendous goaltending he has given us indeed. You fail to recognize a good thing when you see one. You and your type will BEG for better goaltending when Luongo's gone as well as Gillis' head for having "ruined" the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybone Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If we trade Luongo to Chicago, he'll be on such a mission he will destroy us when we meet in the playoffs single-handedly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 It's a team game. Our playoff problems has been as much about other areas of concern than just goaltending. Has Luongo been lights out in the playoffs? NO. Has he had some games he has looked out of sorts? YES. Should it fall completely on his shoulders? NO. Much of the blame in my opinion has to do with an over-rated defence core and poor back-side pressure from our forwards, as well as a lack of toughness for playoff hockey and the missing fourth line? The last two Stanley Cup winning teams, arguably three were willing to play four lines and they got depth scoring. This we do not and still do not have. This is the deficiency that has left us without the playoff success we seek, not the goaltending. I don't put Lou on a pedestal but there are more games I am glad he is in the net saving our bacon than games I shake my head at the soft goals that beat him.

TheCammer Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yes the team has some issues. The goaltender though is the most important position on the team and has often appeared to be this teams most glaring weakness in the playoffs. Luongo is considered by many on CDC at least to be "elite", "world-class", "top 3, 5, 10", etc. So if this is true and even if the team sucks, Luongo probably shouldn't be giving up 4-8 goals a game on a semi-regular basis in the playoffs.

Commercial Canuck Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I just hope that if Lu does go to Chicago, the mentality in the locker room for us changes. I'm talking more of a understanding that it'll be Schneider's first full season and that they'll really need to step it up and not only rely on him, which I've think they've come to thinking that way with Lu.

nucks all the way Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 O' the mentality will assuredly change. It will change from wanting to destroy Chicago and win a game to knowing a win is close to impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
