bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 You guys ALL seem to be forgetting that Luongo is a career LOSER in shootouts. And, not even close to 500. He's terrible. So, it doesn't matter if he stopped 2 of 3 tonight (the other goalie stopped 3 of 3). And, it doesn't matter if our shooters are sub-par (AV is picking guys like Edler to shoot in the top-3, not forwards who can score on breakaways). We are a top team, we are a top-scoring team, but we lose in shootouts - badly. And, it's (for the most part) because of the guy in net... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin Cookies Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Luongo saved 2/3 shots and put us in a position to win the shootout if our players could score. He had no chance on the carter shot because of how perfectly he executed that deke. You can't blame Luongo because of our players not scoring in the shootouts you derp.

AngNMGN99 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 @OP Are u stupid? He made 2 good saves in the shootout an played a really good game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vannuxforlife Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 HAHAHAHA you people are absurd. Luongo was fine, no goalie stops that carter shot. how about our shooters figure out how to hit the back of the god damned net? Or better yet we not play the trap the entire ???? 3rd period?

VancouverStyle Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I dont mind Lou in the shoot out, I would however like to see the coaching staff try other playes on the team for the shoot out. Im sure most teams have Burrows and Edler figured out by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancityBeast Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Somehow people will find every stupid reason to pull Luongo. Hey, Sedins didn't show up tonight for the game, lets pull Luongo!! Garrison was half drunk tonight, lets pull Luongo!! Burrows fell asleep during his shootout, lets pull Luongo!! It is going to be raining tomorrow in Vancouver, lets pull Luongo.

bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Notice how everyone's attacking me - and saying that Luongo played OK tonight (and completely ignoring the fact that I wasn't speaking about tonight, but about his entire shootout career)?

Frankchise Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 you must be kidding me, Luongo did very well today , if we are watching the same game , i think you should be bashing AV for sitting on the lead in the 3rd? and putting Edler in shootout even though he isn't hot in shootout anymore. AV is just in love of giving up the free point , been a few years now and he still haven't put the team to practice some shootout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugli Fruit Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 No, it was 1 goal for LA - vs. no goals for us tonight. You could say Luongo put us in a position to TIE, but not to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_winch Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That may have been the dumbest thing I've read in a while. You can't win games if players don't score. Sure, Luongo tends to be a bit of a flopper, but he was tonights best player and looked good in the shootout. It's tough to win if you can't score goals. Speaking of goals, Burrows needs to start taking the shootouts more seriously. He has one move and he traded for something that made him look like a fool. One could say he even cost us the game with that horrid move. I hope AV slaps some sense into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakage.shinga Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Why on Earth isn't AV pulling Lu for the shoot-outs? Luongo isn't just bad in shoot-outs - he's absolutely terrible. Just horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckhound73 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 CAREER SHOOTOUT SAVE PERCENTAGES Luongo .662 Schneider .632 So, what you are saying OP is, go with the guy with a lower save pct? Oddly, that sounds like a Vigneault gameplan...but oddly, he doesnt do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
