nmigliore Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 (edited) For one, playing better head to head vs. Luongo. Backstrom and Bryzgalov are good goalies that do not get the attention like Loungo does and they are underrated where Luongo is for sure overrated by many that ride is wagon. You cant really use that though.. Lundqvist has owned the Devils/Marty yet he is not better than Marty. And being over-rated I do not think is Luongo's fault. And for what its worth, Luongo is 2-0 vs PHX/MIN with 2 shutouts this season. Edited November 16, 2008 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I don't know how anyone can claim that Bryzgalov or Backstrom are better than Luongo. Oh wait, yes I can - if they just arbitrarily say things like they're better and then defend that statement by saying that they're better.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Luongo is one hell of a goalie. His play and his stats back it up bottom line. So he has big pads. Garth Snow did too. They don't automatically make you a good goalie. And so he hasn't accomplished much in the playoffs. How is that his fault? Is it his fault that he was stuck on an awful Islanders and Panthers team for the first 6 years of his career? Is it his fault that he is on a sh!tty Canucks team? He was stuck on brutal teams to start his career while Marty had the luxury of playing behid Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Ken Daneyko, Bruce Driver, and Slava Fetisov when he came into the league, Maybe if Muckler was willing to part with Vermette and Meszaros or Phillips, Luongo would have a ring or two.

CRASHER Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Bryzgalov DID take the Ducks to a Conference Final you know I was rooting for him because I was hoping it was the end of JiggyPout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Exactly. SD is backing up his "Luongo is overrated" comments by saying "luongo is overrated". I think if we just ignore him, he'll eventually shut up. Because Luongo IS overrated. You have your opinions and I have mine and I do think there is just way too much hype on Luongo. He has done NOTHING to prove he is one of the best. Bryzgalov is a good goalie and without him the Ducks do not go to the WCF. Giguere is another that IS overrated. Backstrom is another good one with Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backstrom is another good one with Minnesota. So Giguere is overrated even though he single handedly gets the Ducks to the Stanley Cup in 2003, goes 7-0 in OT games setting a playoff OT record without allowing goal, wins the Conn Smythe,and then gets a Stanley Cup ring in 2007...yet Luongo is overrated because he has never won anything. You also say he has proved nothing to being one of the best. How about watching him play now, or maybe if you watched him play in the last 6 years. Maybe seeing that he was won 47 games in a season with only Brodeur winning more. How about 5 shutouts in 16 games this year.

How about 5 shutouts in 16 games this year. This is literally all that needs to be said. If you watch him this year, he is probably the best goalie in the league (who isn't injured ). He has held the Canucks in so many games this year when the rest of their team didn't get the job done. I used to hate Luongo because people used to say he was better than Marty, but after watching him play I can't help but respect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
