Papayas Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The team isn't built for shootouts. I doubt the whole team actually spent time to practice their shootouts. And I am perfectly fine with that. Why? Because there is no shootouts in the playoff. I can't even find a reason why I care about luongo's shootouts performance.

rkoshack Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Luongo is not the worst in shootouts, and he is usually good in them. However, the point you made that statistics determine how good or bad a goalie is in a shootout is quite misleading. With that logic, one can state Jake Allen is one of the best shootout goalies, because he has a 1-for-1 100% shootout win rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkoshack Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 6 games under .500 for the biggest contract ever given an NHL goalie is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 He either stops them all, or stops none. At least he's good in some shootouts, unlike our shooters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Mind Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's right and our goalies pretty much have to stop them all or we're screwed. So many of the shootouts they've actually won throughout the years were where Luongo stopped all 3 shooters and our shooters were able to muster up 1 goal. If he even lets in 1 goal it's likely over even if one of our 3 has scored because it's slim to none that they're getting another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rypien.4.Ever Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Shootouts are so geared towards shooters in the first place; regardless of line, anyone in the NHL has world class skill. People just see the record before the shootout, 30-36 or whatever it is and naturally assume he sucks. There is no stat for how many games have been lost with Luongo in net with 3 Canuck shooters not scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar baby watermelon Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Lou turned into a statue on that one shootout attempt that went through his five hole, did he even move?? Put Schneids in for shootouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nizzy10 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We need to worry about our shooters first... We were the first to shoot if we had scored maybe that would've taken pressure off luongo... Our inability to score in the shootout is killing us not just luongo... We need to score in order to win and AV should change up the shooters have players that don't take shoot outs... Cause it's so predictable as to what moves Burrows Raymond Kesler Edler are going to do... Go with Schroeder Higgins Lappy Can't just blame luongo for the shootout We need to score too Ps this game shouldn't have gone to the shootout in the first place... to many chances to win in the 3rd but couldn't capitalize. Give props to jake Allen on that save on Burrows in overtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 In our last 2 shootouts, the Canuck shooters are 1 for 6. Yet somehow our record in the last two shootouts are 1-1. Thank Luongo for that. Our shooters are far worse than our goalies in the shootout. The pressure is always on our goalies to come up big, and even if they do we don't have enough skill up front to score one-on-one. So no, Luongo does not suck at shootouts, our forwards do.

Drakrami Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This is kinda like people thinking we need to trade Luongo because we couldn't win the Stanley Cup with him when the real reason is because we couldn't score more than 2 goals per game in the playoffs.

Bodee Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm no goalie, but I felt he got himself too far out too soon, making the shooters angle easier. I think a goalie should advance 2 or 3 feet but he should try to do it when the forward is nearer so that he doesn't have time to change angle. Anyway our forwards are duff at shootouts........I always assume that unless Lu or Cory save all 3 we have lost. Then I don't get so disappointed.

SheIsTheOne Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We should focus more on our shooters, if our shooters were able to score, it doesn't matter how many Luuu lets in. The shots by kesler and burrows were not good, Allen didnt even have to move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Ramsay Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 If we can't score, we can't win. Exhibit A: 2011 Stanley Cup Finals Exhibit B: 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs Exhibit C: Shootouts And the list goes on... You can blame Luongo for all you want, but the fact is, if our goalie is standing head over heels trying to salvage the team from their inability to score, yet he still lets in a couple, it's his fault. Hell, if Schneider was in net tonight instead of Luongo, we wouldn't be having this discussion because Schneider is our saviour for now right? Gimme a break.

dorrcoq Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Fourth all time in SO wins? Stats I see show him tied for 6th entering this season among active goalies. But where is he all time in SO losses? Second, one behind Kipper. http://www.nhl.com/ice/shootoutstats.htm?fetchKey=20132ALLSAZAll&sort=shootoutGamesWon&viewName=shootoutGoalieCareerTotals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Why deflect? Lu sucks at shootouts like Shaq sucked at freethrows. Admit it, but that doesn't let the shooters off the hook either. They are also terrible. The Canucks are bad at shootouts in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
