Westcoasting Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Luo stole 2 wins with shutouts and did his part for the OT win in game 2. He also kept Boston to no more than 1 goal through half the game in 2 more games. Luo carried his team for at least 2 games, he needed them to carry him for just one.

poetica Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Teams and players tend to give up when their goalie lets in a few pour goals within minutes of each other. It's a pour excuse but it's reality. it's much easier to play with momentum on your side then to play knowing you have a mountain to climb and it may continue to get bigger and bigger. Offence also drys up when momentum is lost by pour goals it's also a big reason why the team only average just better then a goal a game. It wasn't like Boston was completely out playing us either. Even the blow out games were even until a few costly mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That is true. I "cheated," as people often do, and just divided goals by games but Luo was pulled twice, once after only 8 minutes, so his GAA would be off the result of that lazy method. Fair enough. However, the problem with the GAA formula is that it veers directly into the ridiculous when goalies get pulled in a short amount of time, like Luo was in game 6. It assumes a goalie would be scored against the entire game at the same rate they were up to the point they were pulled, even if that results in a score that is never going to happen in the hockey. (For example, according to that formula, Cory's GAA for the Edmonton game in which he was pulled after 2 goals in 2 minutes would be 60. Ridiculous!) As a result, according to the GAA formula (goals * game length/minutes played) Luo's GAA for game 6 is 22.5. And his GAA for game 4 would be 5.6. Using those numbers, that would seem to indicate his GAA for the series was 5.87, which is ridiculous being that only 20 goals were scored against him. So, you're right. Luo played 350:24 in the finals and allowed 20 goals, so his GAA for the series should rightfully be higher than I said. The NHL has a method of determining GAA per second on ice (taking away empty net time and giving credit for OT) but I don't know how they do that. The closest I could think to get would be to 350 by 60 (which wouldn't give Luo credit for more than a period of play) to get 5.83 "games." If we used that, his GAA for the finals was 3.43. But again, that wouldn't give him credit for a full period. If we guestimated with 6 games, it would give him a GAA in the finals of 3.33. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that Luo stole 2 wins with shutouts and did his part for the OT win in game 2. He also kept Boston to no more than 1 goal through half the game in 2 more games. Luo carried his team for at least 2 games, he needed them to carry him for just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtzguy Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Toronto media can't hide their anger that they didn't pry Luongo out of here for nothing. They've been doing nothing but try to tear him down and lower his value ever since. It's pretty pathetic for so called "professionals". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Especially not when you have 3.29 against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 What a stupid comment! Healy you are a disrespectful idiot. If any coach needed a goalie it was yours? Isn't AV the stupid coach who left his goalie in net to get vented when EVERYONE no showed. Uh Hey Roberto do you want to come out now?? Uh sure coach I really would like to rest while my teammates get beat down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurf47 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 may work out like that but most goals were scored in only a few games. You know the truth, funny I see how hard you try to bash Luongo any way you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nino Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just watching the Hot Stove from the 2nd intermission of the Pitt ,BOS game ... they start talking about who NYR are looking at for coaches... and Healy says: " there are strong considerations for Mark (messier) to coach the rangers, but the hard decision for the Rangers is alain vigneault , who is out in the market and avaliable, how do you turn down a guy with his record and his success? if he wouldve had a goaltender he wouldve won a stanley cup." And no one on the panel even flinched at that comment just moved right along....... It was the media who labeled Luongo as number 1 in the league when he came to Van ... Now on the way out the media is labeling him a pile of number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzam Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Please just tell me how Tim Thomas allowed 21 goals to the Lightning in 7 games and they still managed to win the series 4-3. People are saying Lu cost us the cup, how does Boston win a series when their goalie lets in 21 goals, 1 more than Lu let in total against the Bruins. Yet the Bruins win and Thomas is the best goalie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well. last time I checked, going into overtime zero- zero gives a team a better chance to win than letting in 8 goals in regulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Burrows 14 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So it's Luongo's fault that he didn't have 4 shutouts in the finals? The scores for the games were:June 1: Vancouver 1 - Boston 0June 4: Vancouver 3- Boston 2 (OT)June 6: Boston 8 - Vancouver 1June 8: Boston 4 - Vancouver 0June 10: Vancouver 1 - Boston 0June 13: Boston 5 - Vancouver 2June 15: Boston 4 - Vancouver 0 We won games 1 and 2. In game 3, we score ONE GOAL which means that Luongo would have needed a shutout to win that game for us...we didn't even score in game 4 so Luongo would've needed to preserve a shutout until OT to give us a CHANCE to win. 3 shuotuts in 4 games...easy right? We won game 5 because Luongo had another shutout. In game 6 Luongo could only have allowed one goal for the Canucks to win and we couldn't even score in game 7 so Luongo would've needed to keep the score 0-0 into OT to give us a chance.... This video basically sums up the story of the series: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunkist469 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Healy should concern himself with removing the splinters from his azz for all the years he rode the bench, he was never good enough to be #1 or carry a team....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
