He has to think of his health first, especially with a family. Hockey will still be there for him if/when he decides to return as a scout, coach, whatever. He'll certainly have work if he wants to in the NHL, and I admire his decision to leave on his own terms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Hall of fame my ass, he had a solid career and won cups but his career was nowhere near HOF caliber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. If Tom Barrasso isn't in the HoF, no way Crawford makes it. Tho it's damn hard for a goalie to make HoF. I won't be shocked if Lou doesn't make the cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'd argue he should have won that Vezina instead of Brodeur. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised either as goaltenders don't usually make it in. He's definitely ahead of Crawford imo, even without cups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford never saw a single second of ice time as a Devil. Lou gave everything to the Canucks, and got absolutely shafted for the Winter Classic. That was inexcusable, Gillis should've insisted Tortz play Lou (privately of course). I'd rather see the Canucks pay Lou to sit and golf in Florida than pay Loui Ericsson to actually play on the ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Seeing as the Canucks haven’t beaten the Devils in 12 years, I hope Cory Schneider has an awesome year on the island in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To compare, Tom Barrasso has won the Calder, the Vezina, the William Jennings, the Stanley Cup twice, holds the record for most points by an NHL goalie (48), and he's not in the HoF. I just don't see Lou making it. Frankly it's shameful Barrasso isn't in, shows how hard it is for goalies to make the cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linden17 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 He played great against us in 2011. Besides that I think he was an average goalie on some great teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a solid number of games for a goaltender too. Maybe he'll make it somewhere down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon45ca Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 @Rob_Zepp! Did you laugh react to my post????? S'all good, emojis reactions like confused face, or laughing face, or whatever, they don't bother me. I'm more mature than that. I've got better jokes than that post tho, so stay tuned & prepare to laugh your socks off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a playoff team with our without him. He had a .917 sv% with the tire fire Blackhawks defense in front of him last season. New Jersey had: Blackwood - .915 Schneider - .887 Domingue - .882 Senn - .902 If you think Crawford wasn't going to perform better than Blackwood, that's fine. But if you think that in a season where having a solid tandem is more important than ever, he wasn't going to prove on those sub-AHL backup numbers, you are clearly biased for reasons you won't tell us.

My comments in this thread have been more about the fact NJ isn't a good team and that having him on their roster wouldn't be the difference b/w them making the playoffs or not. I'm not biased against him. Just not a believer in NJ. You could put Hellybuck in their crease and they still wouldn't be a legit playoff threat. Go ahead and infer incorrectly on my posts all you want. You should take that talent on the road. I hear spreading disinformation and claiming falsehoods as reality can land you a job in the Oval office...well at least for a few more days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he would have made a difference for them in terms finding *success* this season or next. Yes, he is a better option that what they have on their farm, no denying that. Would he have been a difference maker in terms of helping them get into the playoffs, nope. They are a young team with no depth and their div is going to light them up, regardless of who plays in their net. They are headed for another lottery pick, which ain't a bad thing for a rebuilding team. The only beef I am looking for is in a Wendy's big bacon classic. Have a good day sir. *playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
