theshield Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I always hear the argument team Canada won the gold in 2010 despite Luongo and any goalie would have won because team Canada was so stacked. Just watch the game again and see how good he had to be. Every team was so stacked just like Canada. Something to see is right before Crosby scored Luongo made a big and important glove save off a giveaway from Hall of Fame defenseman Scott Niedermayer which then led to rush down ice for the winning goal. And even for the tying goal Niedermayer was on ice Weber and 2 American players were all alone in front. Even a hall of fame defenseman who has won everything can make mistakes and needed Lu to bail him out. Ryan Miller got credit for playing so great which he did, but look the winning goal gave up and he was a star of the game. If Lu let that in, we would still be hearing and talking about it to this day. Just want people to realize Luongo didn't just stand in net to occupy it. He had so much pressure of the the entire country and playing in his home city and home building. I can't even imagine being in that position I would probably have a heart attack. Luongo can handle pressure clearly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mLPOsflZCE watch at 1:55:25 for the save before the winning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 143:11... In all honesty though, he played solid during that Olympics. One save that I remember is the save on Demitra in the semi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshield Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 With having that stacked of a team he still had to make 34 saves in that game and made 30+ saves in most of the games. So what does that tell you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IginlaFan 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 who is TIGER SINGH? lol but yeah some people still think he just had to stand in net and not do anything because only team Canada was so called "stacked". Every team was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Canada won gold BECAUSE OF LUONGO. Brodeur was not good enough to get the job done. Luongo was and is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I definitely agree. It's just all the typical Luongo haters that say we would've won with anyone in net. Also, notice how the commentators are so much more excited when USA ties it than when Canada wins it? And how they too criticize Lu. Typical NBC...

Peaches Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I remember TIGER SINGH. It's seems like just a week ago he was still posting. I shall tell you his story: Once apon a time, there was a poster known as TIGER SINGH. TIGER SINGH's love for Luongo and proficiency at making memes were legendary, and because of this many users admired and respected him (though most of these users were his dupe accounts). But many were jealous of TS's love for Lu, and began to plot against him. They called him out, saying such things as "Your Lu love is over the top" and "Why is it that your memes suck so bad?". Soon, they highjacked the "Worst thread in recent memory" thread and spent their time constantly mocking him. But TS, through all this, persevered. He continued to make memes and Lu threads at a lighting-fast pace. Soon, even the mods began to dislike him. So, one day, they suspended him. But TIGER SINGH was not intimidated. No, nothing could intimidate TS, his love for Lu was too strong. So when he was allowed back, he posted memes and Lu threads at an even greater pace, until finally, the users took him before the Administrator. "Crucify him!" yelled the users "I have found no fault in this man." Replied the Administrator. "Crucify him!" The users insisted. And so, to avoid a conflict, the mods relented and finally banned TIGER SINGH. And that is the end. But do not despair, it is said that TIGER SINGH still lives on, in the hearts and minds of his dupe accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck_forever Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I thought Luongo played great in the Olympics. His best moment was the save against Demitra in the semi-finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I hate how people say "any goalie could have won gold with that team in front of them" Well, clearly Brodeur couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If Luongo could start playing in the NHL playoffs the way he did in the Olympics, we should be in good shape going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
