Yeah, the Canucks and Luongo fucking suck, losing to the later Stanley Cup winner three years in a row, such embarassing losses, all Luongo's fault, Leafs should never give up a couple week players and picks for him, not even that. Reimer's the future, people, don't you see it.

If the leafs want to completely suck forever, I'm all for that.

I don't see how losing to the championship team last year and the year before is a serious mark against him. But I can see where you're coming from: His playoff stats - while playing for a far better team than the Leafs - are not that exciting and suggest a ceiling similar to what we had back when our GMs tried to sign competent goalies.
Nonetheless, I'm not going to fault Leafs fans for wanting to see an actual NHL-level goalie start for us. It's been so, so long.
And speaking of the Canucks, I think Burrows is a buyout candidate. Dude's seen declining output over the past few seasons and going to be 32 in April with a 4.5 cap hit. AGAINST THE GRAIN

Yes I did. Every bit of it. And there's a reason I was nervous as heck as I really depise canucks and their cocky as fans (sorry!) as I thought canucks could have had that series. Did you misss someone called Jonathan Quick?. He played out of his mind, out of this world. Dude was incredible to watch. He was amazing. I could go on and on. LA, the team in front of him didn't play that great. Luongo and the whole canucks team shit the bed. Luongo definitely.
Um, he was pulled because Schneider (spelling?) was a better goalie. They had confidence in him. There's a reason he played the remaining games.
Uh.... I would be pretty happy at dominating the regular season but I'm more of a playoff guy as I want my team to succeed. If you are doing good in the regular season, you better perform in the playoffs and don't shatter my heart like the way canucks did it TWICE to their fans. Luongo does that. I don't want that.
As I said, also depending on what we give up to get him. We also miss the playoffs mainly due to goaltending issues, but leaf fans are lying to themselves if they think that's the only issue. Our MAJOR issue is goaltending.
I'll give you a break by not responding, you cool with that?

back to work
Leafs forum off I go.
Can't wait.
It's going to be even more hilarious seeing you posting in these threads all season despite "giving up on the sport this year"
I'll still be posting, but I'll be watching less games and therefore posting less.

Huberdeau, Granlund, or Tarasenko. I think the system Tarasenko plays in may rule him out, so Huberdeau or Granlund. Toss up.
Seriously? This tanking strategy and years of failure have really twisted Oilers fans.

Zibenejad is dead, Silfverberg over him, PPG and leading the best team in the AHL.
/ Oilers fan post.
My pick is Tarensenko.

But there's a reason goalies are known to be your last point of defense and Luongo ain't cutting it.
Look, this can go back and forth. It's pointless. Point is, he shits the bed come playoffs. He can't perform at a high level when a team needs him the most. He seems to break pretty easily. Did you guys enjoy the fact that he played solid not spectacular in those other series but when it really counted, he bailed out mentally and physically? The fuck.
Pretty much. Except I don't like Reimer as well. I don't like any of our goalies so far. It's just a shitty situation that we're stuck in. I might as ask Joseph and Befour or Potvin to come out of retirement and play for us.
Oh my god, thank you. Someone that understands me. It's okay, I don't want you to ruin your reputation here for somewhat agreeing with me. The leafs brigade in here might dis-owned you as well.
Hey, even I'm saying it will probably happen but I really don't want it to happen though. I can see leaf fans wanting him though as they are desperate to cling to anything right now. Hell, I am as well but I can do without some of the blue and white glue they have been sniffing on.
What? Jonathan Quick played amazing. I think he's the main reason they won that damn series. The team in front of him played good. Canucks flatout shit the bed and sucked including the infamous Luongo.

These are my picks. I'd love to see Justin win it as well. There will be some glorious tears in here from the usual ducks fans.
Hard to make a difference when your blueline is ECHL calibre, At least this season the D won't be such a clusterfuck. Still bad, don't get me wrong, but not as bad as last season.
Quick did play amazing, along with the rest of his team. There's a reason they were never even close to being in danger of losing a series.
I wouldn't say the Canucks "shit the bed", in fact, they were probably the team to push the Kings the most on their run to the cup. The games were close, and had Dank been healthy, it likely would've been a 6 or 7 game series.
Luongo was fine. He definitely did not "suck" in the series. I have my doubts as to how many West Coast games you even stayed up and watched, because by what you say it feels like you didn't actually watch the games.

Fine, Luongo didn't suck. Canucks suck. Your whole team sucks. Much better? And I've watched every single canucks game. Every single one, playoffs ONLY. I just enjoyed watching your team getting destroyed. Brought tears down my cheek. Dude, lets just end it at you are more knowledgeable than me and therefore I don't have to continue this when it's going nowhere.
I'm sure Toronto will try and get Luongo. I don't want him here, I see him as a regular season goalie and that's it. Playoff performer? Not even close.

Seriously, I agree. Where did Wolf <--- I don't recall his name exactly, but he was a huge habs fan.
Also, isn't MPW a habs fan? And also this one other dude, only if I could recall his name. He was like the that dude of the past (Markov?)

I wonder what it takes for you to consider a goaltender a playoff performer.
What are your options for goaltending? Now and/or for the future?
Reimer? Scrivens? I just don't see why there are any Leaf fans that wouldn't want Luongo. Even if he ends up being a stop gap while you develop a goalie. It's not like the Leafs are entering a Cup window.
Mhmm a certain gold medal says he CAN perform when it matters. Your sample is ONE Stanley cup final series where he shit the bed. So what. Against that you have countless playoff series and several regular seasons in which he performed admirably. Also it's a bit funny coming from a Leafs fan saying "all that matters is we need a goalie who can win the stanley cup final! Regular season and EVERY OTHER SERIES BEFORE THE FINAL doesn't matter". He lost ONE stanley cup final series, which makes him suddenly a terrible choice for the Leafs, because... I don't know.
I think you have other things to worry about first.
Wolf, X, Markov are all long gone or so it seems
MPW is technically a Habs fan, but his incessant depression is a mood killer. In that sense, you're right, he's basically Markov 2.0 :lol
Oh cool
So we want goalies that can't play during the regular season, only the playoffs?
I dunno about you, but leafs didnt make the playoffs the entirety of the last CBA - so I want some regular season performers
$5.3 million to get a really good chance for the playoffs? Fuck yes. Good goalies don't come around often, doesn't matter if they're 30 years and over!
The last 5 times we made the playoffs it was with "over the hill" guys
But you want young guys with loads of potential like Andrew Raycroft

The problem I see with Lu for the Leafs is he probably makes them a playoff team, but by the time they are looking to be a cup contender he likely won't be able to perform to the level they need and they won't have the capital to replace him with someone who meets their needs.
vatstep
This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Seems like sometime between the 15th-19th.
...and even though he played some AWFUL games in that SCF, he won two of them 1-0.
1-0.
