The game between the Hurricanes and the Islanders tonight makes me wonder if the Islanders really are tanking on purpose. What a fugly game. Check out the boxscore and you'll see that the Islanders sucked at everything.8O
I'm happy with the result but somebody other than Luongo has to show up if the Nucks are going to go anywhere.
They scored four goals didn't they,
They weren't seriously outplayed throughout the game, they were outshot,They were completely and utterly out played for most of the game. You can't seriously be happy with that performance...in such an important game?
They scored four goals didn't they, luongo didn't score them.
We've won games when he was sloppy, it's part of being a team.
My son may very well be one of those tsn bashers. He refers to the sundin's as the sundin sisters. When we talked about the van/colo game and I mentioned how some were coming down on Luongo, he just asled where the sundin sisters were that night.....lol
That sisters thing is old and stale, bertuzzi used to call them the twinkies,
when he was with the team, but fortunately they are a very tough set of
twins, resilient, don't get hurt, play in the toughest areas of the game, with
no fear, one got his mouth ripped open recently, got stitched up, came back
and scored a goal, so that image of them dissapeared long ago.
But it still does amuse some I guess.
After the way Luongo played, the rest of the team definitely owed him a few goals so Roberto could get the win after all that work. Calgary must have been the most frustrated team in the league last night. 49 shots and one goal to show for it. They must have been doing something right to get that many shots but I tend to think that good scoring chances are a better barometer than just shots on the net. The Canucks had four scoring chances that they capitalized on and Calgary had one. Calgary had a lot more than that one scoring chance, and Vancouver had more than four but Luongo was there for all but one.
I think that New Jersey will be tied with Calgary with regards to frustration last night.;-) They totally outshot Toronto, but my Leafs were able to win 4-1.Odd parallel to the Vancouver/Calgary game actually. Both Toronto and Vancouver prevented their respective opponents from clinching their Division.

What it means is that we(Calgary) will have to beat the oilers in back to back games this friday and saturday to clinch the title.
If both Calgary and Vancouver win both their remaining games, where does that leave them? Does Vancouver get an advantage because of their better goals for and against record?
