You could play in the league for 20+ years and still use a boost of confidence, so don't give me that @#$% about experienced players not needing a confidence boost... and this is never more true than when you're playing really well and have an average or a bad game, all you want to do is get back out there and get another game under your belt and forget about the last one...
Your bitterness over Lack not starting is clouding your judgement... You can criticize Luongo all you want, no one is saying that you're a hater if you criticize Luongo for a legitimate reason but you're just upset about Lack not getting "his" start, why even bring Luongo into the conversation?... Just because Luongo's playing it doesn't mean that they're pandering to his ego, it doesn't mean that he's gonna play poorly or that he doesn't deserve to start... It's the Coach's decision and I'd reserve judgement till after the game...
and for the record, I agree with you that they should have started Lack and stuck to the system of having him play the back end of the back to backs, especially considering the fact that he's playing well, But I can understand why they want to give Luongo more games since he already missed so many due to his injury...
