It wasn’t Lou’s fault.
It was the referees swallowing their whistles.
No it wasnt specifically his fault but he couldnt stop a beachball when his team needed him to. He certainly didnt help
Lou took a team that scored a grand total of 8 goals in a series to 7 games. Doesn't matter how many he let in, his team didn't score enough to win.

It wasn't his fault.

How many goals against did he have in those 4 losses? His confidence was wavering under the pressure and he let the bruins into his head.

I didnt say he was entirely to blame I'm saying he didn't rise to the occasion like TT did.

Remember when Thomas fired a shot at Lou at the end of that pre-game warm-up?

Very uncouth sure, but I thought Lou was gonna cry.

You could see right there that Thomas had the psychological edge on Wrongo Luongo.

And then that pumping tires nonsense. :roll:

Lou definitely didn't have it together psychologically and that cost us.

We should launch a 'Ring of Shame' and make that fucker the second one in.

(Gillis should be first... right Dude?) :mrgreen:

Hes like a 12 year old girl sometimes. Turco used to fuck with him and his sanity cost us that playoff series that time also.

(yes...i acknowledge he was unreal the entire rest of that series....just tha clinching goal against burns hot on the frontal lobe)

Maybe retire Luongo's little black book
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Luongo was by far the best goalie this team has ever had.

Captain Kirk rose to the occasion. I'd take his battle and compete level in a playoff series anyday over beachball luongo (pre-Brown era of course)

If the Canucks plan to do something like this with Goldobin, I hope they do better than a 4th.
