Other than Coho?

We were generating chance after chance after chance. Burrows almost tap in from the Sedin's saucer... also the top corner should have. How about Edler dangling the NY D and the Ballard backhand rebound. Or the Coho forecheck steal to Kesler tap in? Those are just the few on the top of my head. Heck, even Samuellson had a good game trying to fire everything tonight.

Relax guys. The Canucks have ALWAYS been a slow October team in the past even BEFORE they had Luongo.

If the Canucks aren't a top 8 team in January, THAT's when you can start panicking. This isn't NHL on PS3 where you can go 82-0

Of course Lundqvist outplayed Luongo but the goals he let in were quality shots, or at least not his usual softies.

I totally agree. Canucks outplayed them on the first 2 periods that they were on the PP. But like I said before it wasn't Lundqvist that scored the 4 goals. Rangers outplayed the canucks when it mattered in a tie game, the 3rd period.

There were plenty of blocked shots and missed chances not solely because of Lundqvist, but the defence as well. The Manny 2 on 1 rush, pass was blocked and the shooters stick was lifted cleanly.

[Noir]

true, but at the same time Luongo isn't the reason we were 0/7 on the powerplay. what i meant was i noticed coho's play more than anyone else tonight.

Correct, Luongo isn't the reason we're 0/7. But mind you, when you mentioned "tonight was pathetic... and that there wasn't much going on tonight," you also don't get 7 PPs when you're not doing anything; in fact, PP's are an indication that you're pushing the other team on their heals... and moreso if one is in a game with a string of PP's in their favour.


I'm not going directing this at you so I'm going to just make this statement in general, but this is just one of the best examples why I hate that mofo Lu. I can't stand the team getting thrown under the bus time and time again just because Lu is a made-man in the franchise. The team owned everyone on that game tonight save for 1 player... Lundquvist.

It was essentially a stalemate for 85% of the game; but that 1 goal opened up the flood gates and before we knew it, #2 happened shortly thereafter and goals 3 & 4 followed in even quicker succession.

Actually, the better TEAM won. I know Luongo is a great guy to blame our losses on, and we might have been better if he stepped it up. But 0/7 on the PP is not an excuse either.

NYR had good offense, defense, and Lundqvist was great because Luongo sucked hard.

Anyways, as everybody else here has said, its better for them to lose games now, and improve, than to win every game now and bomb the last half of the season.

i agree with you and to be fair, this wasn't any one player's fault. i'm just so disappointed that we couldn't muster a single goal on the night we honour rypien. i'm also sick of lu's annual october slump. just because it's expected, doesn't mean it's acceptable. he just looks mentally tired and unprepared out there. it's as if he's still playing in the final few games of last year..

also, for the sake of argument, at least 3 of the penalties were offensive zone penalties for the rangers. lack of discipline on their part really heh. they were just lucky we couldn't capitalize on any of em.

NYR - 5/4/10 = 19
VAN - 13/15/12 = 40

So even when NYR picked it up on the 3rd period, we still had more offense.

I didn't catch the so obviously I don't know if this applies to this game but more shots on goal doesn't really mean your team is playing better offensively, I was watching the Sharks versus the ducks game the other day, the shots was like 50-20 but the scoring chances were probably 50/50.

I'm doing a little research for a blog post but basically, this is what I've found.

Using the past 3 years as a sample size (since these are the years that Luongo has come under the most scrutiny)...

Luongo has posted the 2nd highest average wins per year (37...Kipper is #1 with 39 but also plays, on average, *13* more games than Luongo per season...therefore he loses more games than Lu per season....25 to 16)

Luongo has the third lowest GAA in that time (Thomas -> Brodeur -> Luongo) but keep in mind that Luongo has averaged more games per year than both. Thomas' numbers are the best (2.18) mostly because of his wicked season last year but the year before, he was under .500 with a 2.56. Brodeur has a 2.33 to Lu's 2.36 but Brodeur was also under .500 last year with a 2.45. Luongo on the other hand, had a 2.56 in '09-10 but still posted 40 wins. His worst statistical year was when he was limited to 54 games in '08-09 but still won 33 of them with a 2.34 and NINE shutouts. On the basis of Luongo's consistency but Brodeur and Thomas' superior numbers, I'd call this a wash between the three.

Put this together with the fact that he is the 7th highest paid goalie. He does NOT make $10m. He makes $6.716 this year with a $5.33m cap hit. In the NHL world where billionaires pay the salaries, cap hit is the only number that matters.

The numbers seem to back up that Luongo has been one of the best, most consistent goalies in the league since he's joined the Canucks (I'd include past 3 years but that would require more math and his first three years were just as good) and how Luongo Haters are crazy.

If you're wondering if anyone is a better value...I didn't bother with most of them but the only other goalies worth looking at outside the top-10 cap hits are Pekka Rinne and Jonathan Quick. Rinne at $3.4m has averaged 31 wins a season while Quick is a bargain at $1.8m and 31 wins as well. However, that's 6 fewer wins than Luongo and while Rinne only averages one more loss per season, Quick averages 21 losses per season to Luongo's 16.

Still think he's overpaid? Feel free to refute my points. Seriously...if I've overlooked something here, I'd love to hear it so I can look into it further.

TL;DR: Stats say Luongo is awesome. Judging him on a per game or even per month basis is useless. His averages over the last three years are as good or better than everyone else.

;7620249']trade lu for future considerations.

I'd agree because Schneider seems to be awesome and costs way less but Lu is proven (hasn't won fewer than 35 games per season apart from the one season he was injured all the time and he won 33) while Schneider hasn't even had a starting job yet. If that was even a possibility, that would free up close to $4.5m in cap space to pursue a trade for a top-6 forward or top-4 defenseman.

too hot and cold. no consistency. we praise his name when he decides to play well. we want to run him out of town after every loss.

[Ronin]

Consistency should be judged on a per season basis...not per game. That's bandwagoner talk.

I mean, would it really matter if we lost every single game from now til the end of November and won every game from then on? We'd still be something like 54-19-9. That's pretty much what happened last year. We sucked and then we were awesome.

Everyone runs hot and cold.

[b0unce. [?]]

we're vancouver fans, every game is viewed under the microscope.

[Ronin]

I understand criticism. I mean, I think Lu's new belly flop move is ridiculous and has cost us a few goals but at the same time, calling for his head is just stupid. Finding another goalie of that caliber isn't easy.

[Noir]

Well, I did catch the game and I can tell you (or maybe perhaps other viewers can vouch as well) that the chances were not 50/50, nor was it even close to being tilted on the NYR side save for the final 10 minutes.


BTW, more shots doesn't mean your team is playing better offensively, but it sure is a hell of a good indication to suggest it. You don't pad your shot stats by accident. You reach those numbers because:

a) Your players are adept at opening shooting lanes for the puck to go through.

b) Your forward players are crashing enough to get secondary chances (rebounds)

c) Your defensemen is holding the play at the blue line to keep offense alive a lot longer.


or also in the case of tonight:

d) Your team is playing well enough that it's forcing the other team to take penalties (as was tonight, we had 7 PP)



Also, for the people who like to just throw (blame defense), or we leave the goalie out to dry... Did you guys know that we got the first 2 penalties on the 1st period and it was looking like it was going to be one of those games... Yeah, NYR had zero shots on 2 PP and the tides turned and we got our share of PP.

I get that you're a huge Canucks fan Ronin but all this "research" to prove your point is like those religious people who do the same. In fact I think I've heard you say many times that we should have "faith" in lu. If that helps, then great.

Play absolute shit in October, everyone wants your head and wants you traded.

Play excellent the rest of the year, it means absolutely nothing. See what you can do in the playoffs.

Win 15 Games in the Playoffs, you still suck. Win 16 Games in the Playoffs............ Kesler was a beast, Burrows was a monster, Sedins for MVP.

Thats what Vancouver people think of Luongo. And a part of me wishes he were traded and for the team to completely flop to show how much the team actually needs him. But obviously i dont want that to happen.

No doubt. The Canucks can win the president's trophy for the next 10 years, but all that would be meaningless to me if they can't ultimately win the cup.

Games like these really make me wonder how AV is able to keep his job. Once theyre down by two he tends to try one or two strategies then pack it in and gives the excuse of "the work ethic wasn't there tonight, we'll have to put this one behind us, and get focused on the next game". Does AV have any idea on how to motivate his players? To me it seems like we have Hank, Dank, Kes, and Juice who are the ones that are coaching this team.

You're grasping at straws like a fat chick in a milkshake shop.

Chicago is a really crappy team. You're right. It was Quenneville who did it! Not Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook... it was Quenneville. AV was also most definitely on the ice to "let" Chicago tie the series.

Canucks beat the Preds, Sharks - nothing to do with the team. They were not so good and beat up! AV was not challenged.

Keeping an even keel instead of going Crawford when the chips are down? That's the sign of a losing coach. You have to go mental to be a great coach in the NHL!

[tubbyboi]

In a hockey craze market like vancouver you're always gonna have complaints, even when we are winning. No one can see eye to eye as to what is wrong. I bet you when and if we ever win the Stanley cup people would still be looking for heads to cut.

The onus is on the team itself, not the coaching. If the players really didnt like AV then they wouldn't have signed in Vancouver, saying that i believe the TEAM believes in the system that AV put forward. So I don't think the coach is to blame.

The season just started, as i was talking to my buddie yesterday about this, this is technically the regulars preseason. So chill out. We've been through the regular season roller coasters and i could care less where we finish this year cause its been proven that come playoff time, its a whole new ball game. As long as we finish 1-8 by the end of the regular season, i could care less.

a not so good nashville team? i would say nashville each year has a pretty good team and definitely a better goalie and coach than us. considering barry trotz got his team into the playoffs every year. we could have EASILY lost in round 2 to nashville. if they had some better offence, i dont think we would have made it past them. im not taking anything away from AV here, but at the same time, he doesn't deserve the shit he gets. he's a great coach. like Nodnarb mentioned, he's improved our team each year. can't complain about that. i mean the coach will have a game plan, its up to the players to execute it.

Thats true, but how much is your motivation deflated to score a goal when Lu gives one up in a tight game where goals are hard to come by?

It may bother us as fans but we don't know exactly how the players feel, who are the people that matter. I'd like to think the players are mentally better than that but I imagine it would wear on them at times throughout the season given Luongo's body language on some goals..

[!YaoShi]

^ as professionals, i think they would blame themselves before they blame their goalie. I think that's where their morale drops. Not because of Luongo.
