Luongo-a-go-go-gone?
Three goals allowed on just nine shots. Tickets $50 to $250. $6.5 million salary. Priceless?

Nope. Born in the Okanagan, moved here shortly after and been here ever since.
But that's irrelevant.
There was very audible, sarcastic applause from one large pocket of fans in the wake of the third goal the next time Luongo touched the puck. Luckily he had a better next two periods. His slow starts are one of the very few weaknesses in his game.

Saddens me a bit to see that the fans are so fickle at times that they fail to realize just what they have, and that even players that are the best in the game suffer setbacks. It's one thing to not support a player you don't trust, and doesn't have a track record of success, but I take issue with booing a superstar because he has a lousy game from time to time.

... we get one of the best goalies in the world and that is the response he gets because he has a rough period ... ... didn't take them long to forget last year or the playoffs did it...There was very audible, sarcastic applause from one large pocket of fans in the wake of the third goal the next time Luongo touched the puck.
... I guess though rather than criticize them with words like ... pathetic or bandwagoneers ... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt ... clearly they are extremely new to hockey and know nothing about it or the players.

Here we go again with Bob Mackin and his shots on goal stats
Bob,
As your fellow reporter I just want to ask you...how did Vancouver get the rap of being a goaltender graveyard? Was it bad goalies, tough fans or the even tougher media.
If you give out 3 goals in 9 shot stats be prepared to give out the 3 goals in 100 shot stat when it happens. I worry that the Canucks history and lack of success has crept into the way some people view todays version of the Canucks.

Bob Bob Bob...more anti Luong stats.
As your fellow reporter I have to ask you 2 questions - 1- How did Vancouver get the rep as a goaltenders graveyard? 2 - Will yo be prepared to post the positive stats of Luongo? '3 goals in his last 90 shots'
A good coach will let his slumping star stay out there until he finds his form again.
