Why do people think Luongo is so good??

[mathdotcom]

He has been average all year, if not below average. He won a gold medal which has more to do with Canada's solid D than anything on his part. Contrast him with Ryan Miller in the Olympics.

And people capping Blackhawks-Canucks based on Luongo's better goaltending?

Game 3 showed who is the hot goalie this series.

[betplom]

Mathy, you are one very smart hockey guy.

I agree 100%.

[Brock Landers]

Blackhawks goal tending has been god awful all year. I don;t watch shit for hockey, but i hear about it all the time

[betplom]

I don;t watch shit for hockey, but i hear about it all the time

That makes you well qualified to judge, no?

Brock, lets hear your opinion, after all, you don't watch the sport - this makes your opinion very valuable.

Cock sucker was pushed into the goal. How is that legal? I have played for 18 years and watched my entire life. If that were the case I would push the retard in the goal every chase I had.

[Chi_archie]

I agree..... people over-reacting to olympic gold I guess

Yeah, you got fukked on the under (to push).

Gold told me on the phone Under, I told him Over. I won, Gold lost.

[mathdotcom]

Probably not a goal but Canuck D-men doing horseshit job to let them push Luongo in. Game pretty much over anyways.

Luongo has good days, Luongo has bad days. Same with Niemi or any other goalie. Only amazing goalies this year were Miller and Rask. People still giving Luongo credit for a hot streak last year.

[DwightShrute]

Luongo can play better than he did tonight

[mathdotcom]

I should hope so he let in 5 goals.

[Rich Boy]

Luongo is weak, I dont know why people think he is soo great.

Never once in his career has he been top 3 in save % for the season. He's cost the canucks the last 2 playoffs (bonehead lapse in OT vs Ducks, then gives up 7 goals to Hawks last year).

Dont forget, Luongo blew the lead with 30 seconds left in the Gold game vs USA...

Luongo is a choke artist, period.

[rfr3sh]

He is a choke artist, get in his head and hes done

I was watching the game with my buddies today and I said "Lu will be swiss cheese tonight"

Ok, but don't forget he ALSO WON The GOLD MEDAL!

It's a team game and when he is hot, he is as good as anyone.

At least he will have that, 'cause this is as far as Vancouver goes this year - again.

Maybe. This years team has been real solid and hasn't had any slump to speak of all year long. Look for them to step it up Friday.

They can still win this thing.

Let's review the series so far..

Game one: all Vancouver
Game two: Could have went either way. Chicago slightly better.
Game Three: Could have went either way. Vancouver better.

I don't disagree, actually Van has been impressive at times then completely lays an egg.
They are not easy to figure out.

[DwightShrute]

Very good hockey as far as pure entertainment goes. Good skating and hustle. Canucks will also run the goalie Friday and look for lots of fights/penalties. It will be a war!

[mathdotcom]

Vancouver has been demolishing Chicago. Only reason this is not 3-0 is that Niemi has been outplaying Luongo.

Could have been 5-0 again in 1st period were it not for some crazy Niemi saves

[mathdotcom]

Bump.

He is horse shit again tonight. What a ****in quebecker greaseball. Should be sent down next year.

[tealish]

I live in Vancouver and I know first hand, that Lou is as overrated as they come.

[diamond]

2-2..nice game.

[OTL]

Brainwashed by the local media mostly. The Vancouver media thinks anyone wearing a Canucks jersey is beyond reproach and the greatest hockey player of all time, and the know nothing hockey fans just eat it up. The Florida Panthers found out after they drafted him, and couldn't wait to get rid of this overpaid bum. The only way 7uongo will ever hoist the Stanley Cup is if he breaks into the Hockey Hall of Fame and steals it!

[diamond]

Luongo letting all kind of shots in..3-2 hawks.

4-2..Luongo being destroyed.

[mathdotcom]

when are they going to pull him already??

[focustig]

If you were drafting a team and could take any goal keeper, all the GM's would take Bobby Lou so I think that's why people think he's so good.

[Powderguy]

5 goals against so far!

[diamond]

Lol, 5-2.

[mathdotcom]

Send him down to Peewee

[mathdotcom]

[diamond]

5-3..not given up yet.
