Great for Mase!
No it's up to Lu to keep them in.......

No it's up to Lu to keep them in.......

God help us...

Luongo is a false prophet and his Vezina is a superstition

[Southern_Canuck]

Luongo has three qualities that are not helpful - one which is admirable, and two which are not.

1) Attempting to draw a penalty with embellishment, instead of just focusing on stopping the puck
2) Taking so much pressure on himself to win a game, that if he allows even a single goal he loses focus, and typically allows another goal soon after.
3) An ego so fragile that being pulled during a game is an insult that would fracture his relationship with the team

#1 quality flat out sucks
#2 quality is admirable, but ultimately is inferior to a goalie that puts any GA behind him quickly, and provides a consistent high standard of play
#3 quality only works if you're Patrick Roy

Luongo needs to learn from Price....Price drew two penalties for his team with embellishment. Neither time was a puck coming towards him that he might let in.

I guess horse collaring is legal in the NHL now...

I didn't get the memo.

[Chef Boi RD]

The Kesler line looks great!

Nice to see that ol' chemistry coming back between Raymond and Kesler.

[mathonwy]

Luo owes Salo a beer.

[tantalum]

Raymond is looking for corners so far this year...not crest hunting!

[Overtime]

Mon Dieu!!! Luongo!
I am not terrified. Ich habe keine angst.

[Overtime]

Cody Hodgson!!!

[tantalum]

Luongo with a shitty first 22 minutes followed by a terrific final 43 and shootout.

[Boston Canucker]

Cody!! Mad skills on that kid. He'll be an 80 point player in 3 years, already on track for better rookie seasons than the twins and kes.

[mathonwy]

Mason Raymond saying Luo's struggled in shootouts.

Bold Mason. Very bold. I like it.

[clem]

Our shot blocking and box out was pathetic in the first period.

Raymond looked good. Hope he can keep it up.

Lu stuck with it.

[Southern_Canuck]

Honestly, when Cole scored, I thought the Canucks were toast in this game. Sure, I thought they maybe could cut the deficit a little, but I didn't think they would come back to win.

Gotta hand it to them, they kept coming and surprisingly won a shootout.

I especially loved how the TSN pro-Montreal commentators thought that the Weise penalty on Price was warranted, and not a dive, but the Eller penalty on Burrows was definitely a dive by Burrows. Oh, and it took a late TSN graphic before they realized that Vancouver had come back from 3 down --- before that they had made multiple references to the Canucks coming back from 2-0 and 3-1 deficits. Nice job, idiots.
