Nuckaluck Posted January 29, 2013 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 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...
FelixPotvin29 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Made 2 great stops and Carters goal would have been scored on any goalie 90% of the time. Give your head a shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuckaluck 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...
Heretic Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This has been bugging me for literally years now... 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. If the Canucks are in a tight game - and it goes to a shootout with Luongo in net - you can bet we lose. Virtually every single time. It's not even close. He can't stop shootout shooters. Like, at all. Ever. So, even though Schneider would be cold - wouldn't we be better off pulling Lu after overtime - and bringing Schneider, just for the shootout? We've been the best team in the NHL for years now - yet one of the worst at the shootout. Even with an ice-cold goalie, fresh off the bench, we've gotta have a better shot at winning than sticking with Luongo, don'tcha think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckhound73 Posted January 29, 2013 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)?

#RyanKesler17 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That's a slap in the face for luongo. How stupid would that look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Luongo was great in the shootout, stopped 2 great dekes by 2 very skilled hockey players. He's clearly been practicing. Our shooters on the otherhand have always been pathetic. AV needs to stop going to his "go-to" guys like Burrows and Edler because they're anything but that - any other skater has the same chance of scoring as they do. I say he just shuffles his scorers and goes with a random player. For example, Raymond - Higgins - Kassian one night, Hansen - Burrows - Malhotra another. Heck throw Garrison in there to just slap the puck at the net, we have a better chance of scoring off his shot than Burrows doing his stupid predictable backhand deke.

nizzy10 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 dude u have to be on drugssss seriously!!! (so called fans) like u should go cheer for another team. luongo is to blame for everything common when are u guys going to learn! he played unbelievable tonight, in fact if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have been in the shootout and why pull him in the shootout when we can even register a single goal. just reminds me of the old days when fans just like u were blaming luongo for us not winning a cup. might I remind u that louie had 2 shutouts and in game 7 we DIDNT SCORE!!! GROW UP BUDDY, u should criticize urself for being a terrible fan. u suck as a fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Roberto Luongo - career shootout record: 29 wins, 35 losses (0.45). Canucks record with Luongo on the team (291 wins in 497 games, with 51 bonus points, for a total of 0.64) 0.64 is a hell of a lot better than 0.45...

cmpunk Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 We could have Schnieder, Luongo, Lack all in net at the same time, we won't win if we don't score. All attempts on Quick by our shooters were a joke, easy shootout for Quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VancouverCanucksRock Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 People said the same thing about me when I was about the only person on this board saying that Nonis was incompetent and should be fired (right before he was fired, I started the 100+ page thread about it, where about 99% of people here were pro-Nonis) - and when I said Alex Burrows was going to be an offensive star one day (during his second season, when he didn't even score 10 points). Plus, just look at my signature, I was proven right there (and virtually everyont here wrong) as well... I have a long history of being right (in the face of massive opposition from CDC), so forgive me if I ignore you insult... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
