I'm a big Rask/Bob fan but they still have something to prove to me. 1 more year like that and my top in the league would be Lund Quick Rask Bob Lu HM to Howard Rinne

Reread my post, I spiced it up a bit for you haters. SJS series Luongo WAS the only thing that was consistent.. AND HE WAS THE "BACK-UP"

You're solidifying what the guy is arguing... Lu is slow to start and then is solid all year and then takes the blame in the play-offs. REAL followers of hockey?? How elitist are you? How blind are you? So when Bob has a stand-out season it's because Bob was good? So when Rask does amazing with one of the most defensively sound teams in the NHL it was all Rask? So when Luongo starts playing good... it's injuries... and people not trying their best anymore and getting complacent. Man the double edge on this bull crap is astounding! REAL hockey followers and REAL fans of the sport know that Luongo is one of the best in the league PERIOD. REAL hockey fans aren't fickle and hate on a star player just because they like to throw blame around. You know what? Luongo let in 4 goals in game 7 SCF yup he sure did.... Guess how many the forwards scored for the Canucks? 0. Yea If only Luongo had posted another shut-out we would have maybe won 1-0. God damn it Lu, get your crap together...

First off... You're really going to give credit for a goaltenders award to the D?? But when Brodeur sniped that Vezina and record from Lu it was all the Tendy?? You're also going to give a the other majority of the credit to Schneider who played less games than Lu that season?? Come off it bud. 2006-2007 put up amazing numbers with no defence 2007-2008 was a crippled year for the Canucks and the only time they missed the play-offs since Lu came here. He put up good numbers that year with no team in front of him, thats another elite year. 2008-2009 if top 4 in stats isn't elite you're standards are too high, Also this is the year Luongo tore his hip. 2009-2010 Now a bad year for Lu, THE YEAR AFTER HIS INJURY. 2010-2011 You take credit away from Luongo he was the biggest part of their cup run PERIOD. Thomas had a career year and got the Vezina. 2011-2012 Bad year for Lu. Cup hangover and media coming down on him 2012-2013 He wasn't the starter because the goal tending was being mis-managed And here is the biggest evidence of a hater Also i wouldn't put much stock into the Olympics its a different touranment Yea you're right... Instead of facing 2-4 all stars, you're facing 23. Herpadaderp. It's the most prestigious hockey tournament in the world. Oh and being asked to represent your country as their best goal-tender... Yea... Nothing really there to say you're good. You can pick at those stats all you want... These are the facts behind them... You can hate all you want but it's blind.

That list is spot on In my opinion Rinne and Lu are interchangeable, as are Quick and Lund

I'd take Quick Rask Luongo Rinne Lundqvist

I know why Cory was traded, I understand that Luongo couldn't be moved for value. But what has Cory done to merit being placed in the top 5 best goalies in the NHL today? He is 1-4 in the play-offs and has yet to be nominated for anything. Schneids is a stud, there is no doubt, but he is not the elite goal tender that everyone here thinks he is. Cory has a lot left to prove, same with Rask, and Bob. They need to repeat last year and Schneider needs a real strong outing in the reg season and play-offs before he can be called better than Lu or even Niemi. As for the person who says Rinne blows? You are out of your mind! Pekke Rinne is an amazing Goaltender one of the best today.

#1 Lundqvist #2 Quick #3/4 Rinne #3/4 Luongo #5 Howard IF Rask and Bob have another set of stand out seasons #1 Lundqvist #2 Quick #3 Bobrovski (Bobs on a weaker team and still putting up numbers) #4 Rask #5 Luongo/Rinne

A lot of Western Goalies don't have Vezinas... Whats you're point... You really think the East only has good goalies?? Vezina's have their meaning but a Conn Smythe (which Lu was 1 win away from) means more IMO. Also Lu was also .01 s% and 1 win away from having a Vezina... Which I still think he should have got the nod on. I'll say it again... 4 WC goalies have won a Vezina in the last 30 years. Belfour Kipper Fuhr and Bob

Well than the Canucks goal scorers and top 2 lines choked... Not only did Luongo have to be perfect in net, he had to skate down the Ice and score too... LA was not an 8th Seed team come the end of that year, they were either 8th or (4th-5th?) it all depended on the last game of that year, that they lost (by 1 goal? OT? Too lazy to look).

One of those 2 and Price will be Luongos back-up come Olympic times

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding WE HAVE A STARTER!! Truth

Chokers include Niemi, Lundqvist, Kipper, Emery, Price, Fluery, Lehtonen, Rask, Rinne, Nabokov, Howard, Halak, Elliot. Backstrom, Smith, Anderson /thread...

No crap, Quick has a cup, but why does Price get all the props? What records does Price have? How many records does Lu hold? /thread

if he had a winning team in Florida he would have one. Only Western Goalies to win a Vezina in the last 30 years... Fuhr Belfour Kipper and Bob. It's no secret that the voting for vezina is bias, he could have easily got the nod over Brodeur as Brodeur had the better team that year.

Take a look at his statistics and averages, He's going to pass Hasek in 2 years and is right behind him in all-time SV% also, If you don't have Broduer as #1 and Roy as #2 best goalies all time... You need to shake your head out. Luongo is on par to be the 3rd-4th most winning goalie of all time, be ~5th in shutouts and also save another injury, will be the 3rd Goalie of all time to reach 1000GP. Learn your god damn hockey before you slander someones post.

I know you hate Luongo, as you bash at every turn and love that Ginger in now a red Jersey but.... What has Schneider done in the last 3 years to warrant him a higher spot than Lu??... Oh!!! Right.,.. NOTHING

Only goalies I would want in my net over Lu is Lundqvist or Quick. Other than that no one could replace Luo... Schneider has proved nothing and that's why he was traded to once again be a back-up behind a legend.

What has Niemi, Price, Anderson, Howard or Rinne done as of last season that Lu hasn't?? Niemi and Anderson won a series(both with the help of refs). Howard is good but lets be honest. Luongo only didn't have top 10 goalie stats last year because AV MG and the media tarnished his reputation. He was the best player on the Canucks in the 2010-11, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013 Play-offs. He is and will continue to be an elite player

Stamkos-Crosby-St.Louis/Bergeron

For everyone saying Hamhuis might not make it... You do realize that he is coveted as one of the best defensive D-Men in the league right? Canuck fans really give too much credit where it is not due and not enough where it is due... Same people probably think Burrows deserved to be there.
