I believe there is $64 million that says otherwise. If that is indeed the team's attitude, a refresher course in how to get the most out of yur men might be indicated. I don't think a goalie as good as Lu is going to be easy to come by, unless they want to blow another $64 million.
Talloola - a little off subject but I've been racking my brain today trying to remember who the goalie was before Lu and after Kirk McLean
I guess Alzheimers is taking hold. -
dan cloutier was there a while back.
J.T. has to start looking at the big picture. Lu has served the Canucks well for the past 9 or 10 years. Eddie Lack is an excellent goalie and is able to win some key games as he's proved and there is not a hell of a lot wrong with Eddie, given time he'll possibly be as good as Lu, but he has to continue in his role and that is back up goalie. Like all goalies Lu will pull off some stinkers but that's the name of the game. It has to be remembered that the man is always bigger than the game, they lost a game today which in the big scheme doesn't mean a great deal, but he undoubtedly has hurt Lu.
torterella's loyalty and energy is to the 'team', but he isn't doing that, isn't winning with lack
even though he has played excellent, he had no reason to start lack today, he has hurt 'the team',
now he has to get back to being an intelligent coach, not a fearfull one.
he tried to protect the terrible play of the team by depending on one rookie goalie to fix everything,
that won't work, lack and luongo are assets, both have played well, both deserve to play, but luongo
now might be totally pissed, he has been thru this before, which was his own doing, this time it isn't.
enough is enough, so of course he will play luongo in phoenix on tuesday, and they could lose that one
too, that would just continue along the same road they have travelled for a while now, so forget the
goalies torterella and put your energy into where the real problems lie.
Things in the dressing room are not going to improve after this last loss, talloola. Only watched the first period as the Brier is also on this weekend. Would have been nice to see the Canucks pull it off in the Classic.
My guys fell flat on their faces in their Classic game against the Blackhawks who ruled. Jonathan Toews rocked the ice. The Penguins looked as if they just finished their kilometers long march to the sea. Two in a row they have lost now. 8O :lol:
pittsburg again shows the weakness of their defense, don't know why they haven't concentrated on
that part of their team for some time. seems they want their top end offensive players to do
the job, but that just doesn't balance the team. malkin dissapears in a game where the opposition
is checking him well, and he can't do what he wants, he isn't very good defensively at all.
chicago wAs all over them, as they have a very well balanced team. not that they can't be beat,
any team can be beaten, if they don't bring their A game., but pittsburg doesn't have an A defense.
when crosby has to concentrate too much of defending, his scoring will suffer. it is a team effort
to defend, including the goalie, and he played very well last night, score could have been much worse.
