I'm ready to drive the bus......that was painful last night....glad I was at home and not at the game...it was very reminiscent of June 15th. I hope they start Cory either Thursday or Saturday

pro-Luongo voices will say he didn't have much help from his team and that is true.


anti-Luongo voices will say Lundqvist also rec'd little support BUT he made the saves,
some spectacular,which is also true.

I should've been clearer.I meant support on the 4 goals,1st was the result of
a BAD rebound.

pro-Luongo types(of which I am not one,btw)will say he had little
support on the other 3 goals.

No one can argue re shots on goal, 40-19,incl. 28-9 after 40min.

Lundqvist was sensational.

not sure where you interpreted anything in my post as "blind support'

Yeah, think ol Lou needs a change of scenery,this isn't a young team anymore so there time to win is now.I just don't think he has that desire to stop every shot that a lot of elite goalies possess. Grant Fuhr might let in 4 goals per game, but when the game was on the line you just knew he wasn't gonna let in that 'next' goal. Luongo just seems to panic & give up when the pressure gets turned up a notch.

To rub salt into the wounds.....Kipprusov made 24 saves last night and backstopped his team for the win.....1 single puck got by him last night.....it sure sucks to be a canuck fan after the team gave luongo that HUGE contract that has a no trade clause....yup.....sure sucks.

No trade clauses really aren't worth the paper there written on. If they really wanna get rid of him they will, all you gotta do is make the conditions around him so bad that he doesn't wanna stay. Or send him to the minors & that would eliminate the cap hit. Play Schneider more, bring in three goalies & rotate them?Next thing you know he's waiving his no trade clause & we can get a bag of pucks & maybe some used goalie nets for him.

Luongo got a new helmet? Will that make him a better goalie? I don't think so. We are screwed this year!

Tonight against Nashville, they pulled Luongo and put Cory in. Score with 4 minutes to go Canucks 5 - Nashville 1 (the one Luongo let in to make the score 1 - 1 in the first period)
??? He stopped 25/26 tonight. Did you watch?

ummm... al... normally you're pretty good with your posts, but i've noticed two lately - both about canuck games - that were completely off base

are you watching last season's re-runs and thinking they are tonight's game by any chance? just sayin' :)

After the riot and significant increase of the Canucks ticket price, I am not paying much attention to Canucks anymore.
The team didn't respond to the riot very well.
The media is saying the rioters are not the fans, they are waring the jerseys for God's sakes.
I don't find hockey is exciting anymore. Maybe because I am getting old.
Last year, was quite a season, yet ended so dramatically and sadly.

Like expected the hardcore fans & coaching says it's not luongos fault. Makes for great sports radio

The fans who trash luongo are called non fans(peop in the forum say we're not true fans if we trash luongo). Kinda reminds me of what you said with the rioters are not the fans comment.
