How many Cups have the Canucks won with Luongo?

referee: "we have a personal foul .... mattola ... 15 yards for piling on"

play by play guy: "Thats the kind of penalty that everyone will be ok seeing mattola take"

once Luongo learns how to channel his inner Nabokov cause you know hes won so much that he will win 10,000 cups in one year alone.

If Luongo was half the goalie Billy Smith was the Canucks would have at least 1 Stanley Cup Banner hanging in the rafters.

yes cause the Canucks are the 80s Isles of today. you are right. with all of Nabokovs cups he won in San Jose with those great teams there is no comparison

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I guess this would make Nabokov 2/3rds the goalie Billy Smith was

If Luongo was anything like Billy Smith he would be serving 20+ game suspensions several times a season.

Don't know how many Cups he'd win that way

If that's what you want to believe, I never said it.

All I did was compare Luongo to Nabokov from last season. Neither has won shit.

The Canucks have had some stacked teams the past few years. They haven't been able to get over the hump. Time will tell as to when the window closes.

True...part of the continuing emasculation of the game.

If Scott Stevens played today he'd spend half the season in the pressbox due to suspensions.

What part of the continuing emasculation of the game are you having trouble undestanding?

I was agreeing with you. You obviously misunderstood my post. It doesn't matter. Neither guy is playing today. Rules change. Players have to change with them.

What do you think Smith and Ruff get for this little beauty in today's game?

Barry also said there is no way the Kings repeat because they barely made the playoffs last year.


Then what was that thing they did, Barry?

Smith gets my undying affection.

Ruff gets something else to whine about incessantly.
