Riviera82 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And yet...the stats are practically the same. I mean you two just get stuck without an argument and go back to this prefab'd list of statements. If you can't argue your points why bother making them? I mean are you really going to argue that he's a different goalie in the playoffs than he is in the regular season? If you are I not only have to question if you've ever played hockey at all but if you've ever watched a canucks game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Are you trying to say that he's not a different goalie from regular season to playoffs? It seems to me that he keeps his 5 to 8 goal and sub .900 save percentage games to a minimum during the course of a regular season, yet in the playoffs (after 2007) they happen with more frequency. I brought this up earlier but nobody answered. During the course of an 82 game regular season, if Luongo's record looked like this, how impressed would you be? GP, 61 - 32W, 29L - GAA, 2.53 - Sv%, .916 - SOs, 5. That's his playoff record. That record would be middle of the pack or lower in a typical regular season, nevermind playoffs. Very few teams today will go far in playoff action with average regular season goaltending, which overall is what we've gotten from Luongo.

oldnews Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It is the team in front of him that has a knack of imploding as the rough gets tougher. Schneider will not fair better and will see his fair share of seeming total collapse in front of this team. Perhaps only then will the fans, media and team alike seek answers elsewhere than a mere blaming of one of the greatest goaltenders to play the game. By then, it will be too late.

Riviera82 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 check urself before u wreck urself .916 would be about 10th this season and that is a more reflective stat than GAA I suggest you go look at the playoff sv% of Roy and Brodeur before you start throwing the term "average" around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Let's talk about save percentage then. Aside from 2007, in how many playoff seasons has Luongo had a save percentage above .914? The answer is none. Luongo's excellent playoffs in 2007 is the only thing propping up his stats from terrible to mediocre. All of his save percentages since then have been sub-par.

oldnews Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes. Do it while Schneider is hot and now, to give Luongo time to get back into game form. I remember when Luongo was traded to Vancouver, the book on him was that he had to play a lot and see a lot of shots to be successful. If he's playing every four, five days, he gets cold. The Canucks are tampering with a very good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfxHaley Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 On one hand I really have to commend this 101 guy for his "Loyalty" to Luongo, But on the other hand I feel I should probably contact the authorities for the sake of Luongos well being.
