Cyril Sneer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Makes me sick that people have no respect for Luongo. The guy basically gave new life to this team and put them on a level nobody's ever known or even imagined ten years ago. Did everything to get the win, until he had almost nothing left. Gave everyone a new hope. Yeah, and he led Canada to Olympic gold, as the sole Vancouver Canuck player on that team, playing on Vancouver Canuck ice.

VanNuck Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 He was amazing as a Panther and as a Canuck, UNTIL HE RIPPED UP HIS GROIN. Ever since that fateful morning in Pittsburgh he hasn't been the same, folks. His reaction time is slower. His side-to-side is slower. His five hole is open longer. He flops a lot. All of these things point to a lingering groin problem. And a lot of declining goaltenders have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 1996. SCF Game 4: Avalanche on the road against the Panthers. Avs have 3-0 series lead. Roy had only given up 4 goals in the first 3 games combined. Patrick Roy posts a 63 save shutout in a triple OT game to beat John Vanbiesbrouck (who also played out of his mind) and the Panthers 1-0. Yeah the Avs were the better team, and yeah I expected them to win. Having said that, the Panthers pulled out all the stops and Patrick had to be perfect to beat them that night. It took the Avs over 100 minutes to score one goal, but it was enough thanks to Saint Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 That's too bad for roy... he only won one game 1-0. Luongo is one of two goalies two do that twice in the scf. Bankkkk it. Lol noob luongo izdabesstezzzt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril Sneer Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Seriously? Do you have a source for that? I'd be shocked if that were true that it's happened only twice in the entire history of the NHL, but it is seriously impressive and I don't think people truly understand what an accomplishment it was.

Amish Rake Fighter Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 It was. Cam Neely took the shot that you're referring to. It's the last goal on this montage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauii Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 No doubt Roy was legendary when it came to the SCF and seems to win the Cup on sheer will but that doesn't take away the fact that Lu has been the best goaltender this team has ever had, and has contributed to the successes of this team.

poetica Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I like how the SCF blowouts are the teams fault but the shutouts are all Luongo. You are all kids, that's the only explanation I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Im on mobile right now but ill find it for you when I get home I think the only other goalie to win 2 games in the scf 1-0 did it pre 1940's . It wasn't a name that stood out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Luongo also is notorious for giving up 8 goals in a single SCF game. 'lol noob' indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Mike Gillis has made a mockery of htis team. The on ice chats Lou would have with other teams players during warm-up was enough to say to me that Luongo may have gotten the stinky end of the stick by Gills, but, the rest of the leagues players know just how badly of a screw job Lou got. No mid-upper tier player will play here unless: a ) He is overpaid b ) He has no other options that look better. Vancouver is no longer one of those desired places to play. A GM has to make hard decisions, but his actions have been seen all around the League and the lack of tact and skill by Gillis would not make me want to work under him in the slightest degree.

Primus099 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I respectfully disagree. Usually in the playoffs when a goaltender plays terribly, they lose the game. Also, you may want to point out that 8 of those goals came in one game. The other two games were much more reasonable scores. (Game #3 was a 3-2 win) It wasn't the first 3 games that were the problem in that series, it was the last 2. Forget injuries/fatigue/whatever. Canucks had 2 chances to win the cup and blew it. I am not going to pin that on Luongo, but he wasn't exactly keeping them in it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetica Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Sorry but i can't seem to find it. I've Also heard it on team 1040 so im at least 90% sure that he was either the only goalie or one of two goalies to ever get 2 shutouts in the scf when his team scored only 1 goal. That's as impressive of a stat as it gets imo. I know Thomas got shutouts too ... but when they're 1-0 games its far more impressive One of the biggest knock against him is that he isn't clutch and I 100% disagree with that. Ffs he has the record for most OT wins... and he hasn't even finished his career yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
