Markus Alexander Cody Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Didn't shut the door for Canada or it wouldn't have reached ot. Did u watch the Nashville series. We shut them down as a team and the only way they were scoring was from behind the net. Solid goals lol Lu is a regular season Allstar and a playoff bum. Seen it way to many times. Trade him while he's hot so we can actually get something for him and end this talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 horrible? he was the goalie we had 2 years ago who got to the stanley cup final game 7. He had 2 shutouts in the game final series and our team was once tied with Boston dispite being outscore like 4-12 or something like that. and all the sudden Luongo is horrible in playoff and Schneider, a goalie who played a grant total of eight playoff game, is proven and will carry us into the playoff... jesus christ who let these people register on Cdc?

Bodee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Luongo has a history of losing multiple key games singlehandedly. Tough to go into a series not sure whether your goalie will play like an NHLer or a Pee wee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StopesisCanucks Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 AV should've pulled Lu in games 3 & 4. I went to game 5 and Lui was amazing, i hear people say oh AV should've put schneider in net for gm 6 in bean town, but how can 1 say that when 2 of your 3 wins have been by a shutout. Lui should've of been pulled a lot sooner in gm 6 maybe wouldn't have given the bruins so much swagger going into gm7. Bad coaching mistakes and horrible offense and injured=Lou is a horrible playoff goalie. Oh how media and Shi!!y fans start crazy stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ok so here is my rebuttal and again sorry for posting info that I didn't double check. Good eye's beer&meat and DeNiro 2008 did not make playoffs and I could not find his save % for the last six games but the nucks gave up 4.16 goals per game and Lou played all six. .882 2009 vs Chicago .896 2010 vs Chicago. .832 2011 vs Boston In 2008 we missed the playoffs by 9 points so the last six games had little importance but stats are there none the less and shows how he finished the year. The point I was trying to make and is still valid is that although he is a great goalie most of the time he is known for falling apart in the playoffs and the stats back it up. You can make any reasoning as to why he falls apart but the point is it happens every year. Save % under .86 and we are not going to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 More playoff wins than any active goalie other than Brodeur, Fleury, and Khabibulin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nino Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So basically...when a team loses a playoff series...their stats are bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You can look at it any way you want but the way I look at it is if the goalie is not making the saves your chance of winning is low. Although a small sample size Cory's % is great in the losses and he did give them a chance to win. Goaltending is the most important position in hockey and teams live or die with there goalie, Lou has not cut it in series we were eliminated in.

TheCammer Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Couldn't agree more.. It seems as tho everyone had forgot why we are getting rid of Lou and keeping Cory.. He falters in the playoffs every year, at some point, an it costs us.. Of course he will play well in the reg season but he can't get it done in the playoffs.. Time to trade Lou and I've Cory the starts... If mg can't get this done, then I'm gonna start questions his ability as a gm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monza Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Stop looking at his stats n % ffs... watch the games. When the team needs a big stop luongo is ALWAYS there. There isn't a goalie in the league that does that better than Luongo. (I obviously haven't watched every other goalie play hundreds of games for their team... I just can't believe anyone makes more timely saves than luongo does for us) If the team scored ZERO goals wtfdoes it matter if we lose 8-0 or 3-0 ... a loss is a loss. When a team can't score they lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 To me stats don't mean too much because all I can remember was Tim Thomas and jonathon quick seemed to outplay luongo when it mattered the most. And I'd pick Lu over them to be on my team any time of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airjasper Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So easy to put high scoring games on the goalie. Especially as time goes on, people just look at how many goals were given up and assume it was all the goalies fault. I remember how absolutely atrocious the entire team played in those games, essentially hanging Luongo out to dry. The amount of odd man rushes given up was just ridiculous. If Luongo doesn't put up two 1-0 shutouts against Boston we are lucky to even see a game 5. How about his unbelievable performance in game 7 against Chicago? Luongo has won more elimination games in his pro career than he has lost...The dude has a gold medal in a game that went to OT for crying out loud. 28 other starting goalies didn't win the Stanley Cup either each year. Guess they are all chokers! Don't get me wrong, he could have made more saves at times. However, it would have been irrelevant against Boston since the team couldn't score any goals! How can you possibly put the Stanley Cup loss on him when the team scored 3 goals in the 4 losing games? lol... The only elimination game i'll say Lu probably cost us was the 7-5 loss vs Chicago.

apollo Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Big saves lol? Go watch the first goal of game 7 against Boston. When Boston got the lead in that series they did not lose and played much different. That first goal was a bullet lol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocanucks1916 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 For those in the "Luongo chokes in the big game" camp, I dug up an interesting stat. I think performance in Game 7's is generally a good measure of how well a goalie plays when it's all on the line. Luongo has played 3. Dallas ('07), Chicago ('11) and Boston ('11). His stats in those 3 games? 2-1, 1.62 GAA, .931 SV% Small sample size, but not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooBie604 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I just wish we would trade him so he doesn't have to put up with such a crappy fan base. He deserves better. Guy has the best playoff win percentage in Canucks history and we blame him for every loss. He holds almost every record in net for the franchise and it was achieved because of the team but when the team craps the bed then the stats are his to take. Plain ridiculous.

Kumquats Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well it does make sense because I'm pretty sure that the point of trading him is to get better offence... No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
