Understand Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Luongo's GAA and Sv% are ranked between #13 and 16 leaguewide. Quick is top 5 in both stats. He's a very dangerous guy to have in the opposing net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Williams > Ebbett means that Williams is better than Ebbett guys, common. And just based on the regular season, Quick is by far the better goalie of the two. Quick has 35 wins, Luongo has 31. Quick has an 0.929 save %, Luongo has an 0.919 save % Quick has a rediculous 1.95 GAA, Luongo has a 2.41 GAA Quick has 10 shutouts, Luongo has 5 shutouts. What's most impressive is the fact that the Kings have scored the 2nd least goals in the NHL and are still somehow making the playoffs. Most of Quick's wins have been earned by him carrying the team on very little firepower, as opposed to Luongo who has been bailed out by his forwards on a few occasions. The only difference-maker is games played and playoff performance. Luongo is far more clutch than Quick, and Quick has played 68 regular season games - 13 more than Luongo, so fatigue will definately become an issue if this series goes the distance. However fatigue and "clutch performances" can't be measured, so based on what can be statistically compared, Quick is the better goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Well, as far as consistency and mental ability etc, Quick is a lot better than Luongo for sure. CS, on the other hand, is a much closer match with Quick, it is just too bad Luongo is our starter instead of CS. If CS is our starter, I don't think the Kings will have any advantage on us in terms of the goalie position.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea2Sky Country Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 the fact that you're saying Luongo is not even close to being as good as Quick is mind-boggling! Lu's an elite goaltender people, let's not forget that, subpar #s this year do not change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Naslund Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Stop being homers. Quick is obviously having a way better season than luongo by far. Quick singlehandedly led the Kings to the 8th spot/playoffs this year, not to mention he leads the NHL with 10 shutouts, and has lost 4 or 5 (I don't rememebr haha) 1-0 games. So yeah if you want to look at past seasons you could say Luongo is better, but this season Quick is by far the superior goalie, and in my opinion the best in the NHL. So yeah not that close Canucks fans need to start giving credit to opposing players and when its due, instead of just bashing them, it's one of the reasons why we're so hated.

dKs89 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yes because the great Jonathan Quick, who has done so much in his career is better than Luo at a "not even close" margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirteen Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Quick will run out of gas and like Luongo when we over played him, Quick will be easier to play against in the playoffs. Luongo is rested and ready to go. In a playoff duel in OT I would bet on Luongo over Quick. If Kesler starts crashing the net and Booth keeps driving also Quicks weakness will be exposed. If LA didn't ride Quick I think it would be closer, Quicks playoff numbers also speak for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanukki Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 edler is NOT better than doughty... and going player-for-player comparison has NO impact on this series. for example, boston vs us last year. depth is what wins cups, not flashy superstars.

themonicator Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Quick is having a better season than Lu but that's not to say that he's a better goaltender. Luongo is more experienced and just like Quick, he CAN steal games. Amazing that people forget that. If Pahlsson's line can shut down Kopitar's, I like our odds. We have to grind their top lines and I'm confident that our bottom 6 can do that. This team has to stay disciplined and stay away from the penalty box. Stay physical and don't give up too many chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babybulls211 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Kings have question mark in their bottom pair of defense. I believe our bottom six is better than LA's bottom six. The key for the Canucks to win is whether the second line can play up to their standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 so eer is Mike Richard going to get any games suspension for the check from behind major on Couture?? it was a cheap shot with the intent to injured imo.. i know it's the last game of the regular season and stuff... but If Torres can get 4 games last year... 2 for regular season 2 for playoff.. shouldn't Richard get at least a game or 2?

JasetheCanuck Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 1st Goalie: Quick > Luongo (not even close) im a luongo fan, and i would say that Quick only has a slight edge.. not even close.. whut? O__O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Comparisons are pretty subjective. IMHO the key in this series will be whether Van can up their game a notch and bring some consistant physicality into their game. They are deeper than LA and a physical game should benefit them more than LA. When you have Van's team speed combined with physical play it can be very intimidating. While I always fret about Van's d-zone coverage it can be mitigated by strong goaltending and a foreward group backchecking. For those thnking Quick will wilt I doubt that. Van's key in this series should be neutralizing the LA d-core by lots of hitting. Many here felt that MG didn't resign Willie because of his concussion. I am sure that played a part but I would suggest that he had lost a step. Outside speed can beat Willie. Let's see if I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
