SofaKing Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Lack does look very good in minimal showings. Great size, athleticism, mobility compete level. smarts, attitude etc... I think he'll be our starter come playoffs. MG must move Luongo ASAP as he has some stock value now I would think? Lack is a starter & is younger & more athletic than Luongo at this point in each's careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostViking Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I would say Lack has been great so far. However, goaltending is all about consistency, he'll have to keep it up, but if he does we've found a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHobo73 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Record: 5 wins - 2 losses GAA: 1.98 SV%: 0.927 Shutouts: 1 Casualties of Lack: Chicago, St. Louis, Carolina x 2, & Calgary. His two losses came against Anaheim and Columbus, and he allowed only 2 goals each game. Eddie's resume looks pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even need him to be superstar just good ( even though superstar is always nice lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSwe Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Being swedish I´ve followed Lack through the years. I was hoping he would get his breakthrough i Sweden when the no 1 keeper in his team was traded, but instead they made a very questionable and economicly stupid deal and signed Ed Belfour. Probably a purely pr-thing to get attention for the team who played in the 2:nd league. Goes without saying Lack was benched for the season.... I was thrilled when I heard he had signed with my Canucks! And when they also signed swede Joakim Eriksson I was joking with my friends at work about how wierd it would be if Eddie got to be no 1 goalie backed by Eriksson! Seems like it really came true..... At least for a game or 2 (hopefully)... Lack is a solid keeper, yes. But I really hope he can deliver under preasure for as long Lu is gone...

Ugli Fruit Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 If you compare Luongo's games played/shutouts stat with Eddie Lack's (projected) shutout rate over 779 games, Lack is on pace for 130 shutouts over the same amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ugli... I'm loving Eddie like everyone else, but it's a little ridiculous comparing his stats to Lu's after 8 starts. Come back when he's played 779 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradin123 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ok but that might be 2021. Ugli... I'm loving Eddie like everyone else, but it's a little ridiculous comparing his stats to Lu's after 8 starts. Come back when he's played 779 games. You want me to come back to this thread in 2021?

Moonshinefe Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm just glad Lack has been proving to be a solid goaltender and very good in high pressure situations. When you get rid of a 'backup' (or starter or whatever you wanted to call him) on the caliber of Schneider, there's always the concern well okay, our goaltending won't be quite a good this year. But so far, so good. Lack has played well and I never feel nervous with him in the net. He looks nervous AS HELL during interviews, but in actual game situations he seems pretty calm and zoned into the game. Definitely a likable character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHitman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I really hope the Canucks can sign him long term, it's fun to watch him develop as he gets more experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I guess Gillis wasn't such an idiot trading Schneider afterall Gillis wasn't an idiot for trading Schneider but he was for humiliating Luongo and then discovering he was unmoveable. Lack is amazing, though. Those people in Winnipeg (back when it was our farm team) who said that Lack is better than Schneider might just be right. What I love about Eddie is his ability to battle when the other team pushes back. We haven't seen him let in many softies, or untimely goals that deflate the team. Whether or not it's fair to blame Luongo for those things, Lack certainly looks good in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlinkas wrister Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Eddie is making it look easy. Long may it continue. The most refreshing part however, is the kid could put up 6 consecutive shutouts in Lu's absence and his nose wouldn't get the least bit out of joint when he had to resume his role as a backup, he's a real team first guy by all appearances. We are in a fantastic place with our goaltending right now- enjoy it while it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Bump. Like I've said many times before regarding Schneider and now Lack... it's not the same being a starter. While Lack is still playing pretty good as the starter in Lu's absence, his shiny stats have fallen dramatically. He's allowed 4, 4, 4, and 5 goals in his last 4 starts. We've seen him flopping, give up soft goals, late period goals, and goals in quick succession... all the things Lui is criticized for. Yet there's no criticism. Why? Because it's undeserved... for Lack or for Lu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
